Personal care wipes are disposable personal care products used for cleaning and hygiene. These wipes are useful for sustaining sanitation of the human skin. Personal care wipes gain popularity worldwide due to their effectiveness as an alternative to the various products used for cleansing, such as soap, facewash, handkerchief, napkin, and cloth.

Moreover, excessive use of chemical content in wipes that leads to skin irritation and allergies also limits the growth of the market. Further, use of natural ingredients in wipes such as coco-glucoside, malic acid, and aloe-vera as a substitute for chemical contents, provides future opportunity for market growth. Penetration of the market in less developed areas, which leads to surge in demand for wipes, due to high number of infants' population and lack of availability of hygiene products also make way for different market growth opportunities.
