Competitive Landscape
Legacy Leaders’ Share Drops as Pants Outpaces Taped Diapers
Nappies/diapers/pants remained highly concentrated in 2025, but the category is becoming less so as share continues to erode from long-standing leaders. Unicharm Gulf Hygienic Industries Ltd holds 34% retail value share and Modern Products Co stands at 22%, down from 40% and 32% respectively in 2020.
Smaller, Digital-First Competitors Win Value Share through Segmentation
The leading brands, Baby Joy (Unicharm) and Pampers (Procter & Gamble), maintain their edge by capitalising on deep trust and loyalty among Saudi parents, achieved through nationwide visibility, robust retailer partnerships, and ongoing investment in product innovation. They have sustained their leadership by enhancing absorbency, comfort, and fit, as well as introducing larger sizes that meet local preferences.
