#6: More Adult Diapers Than Baby Ones
Japan’s aging population is so significant that sales of adult diapers now surpass those for babies. This surprising statistic highlights a demographic shift where nearly 30% of the population is over 65, making elder care a booming industry.

Companies have adapted with innovations like ultra-thin, discreet designs and even recycling programs for used products. It’s a uniquely Japanese blend of practicality and respect for dignity in aging. While baby strollers still roll the streets, adult diaper sales tell a story of a nation growing older—gracefully.
