Nappies/diapers/pants recorded a slight decrease in retail volume sales in 2010, due to the slowing growth of the infant population, which came with Japan's rapid descent into recession in 2008/2009. Manufacturers promoted the prolonged use of nappies/diapers as a reaction to declining volume sales. Spending per child remains high, however, there is a discernable trend for trading down due to the sluggish economy, as well as consumers looking for value promotions in retail outlets.
