Decline in Infant Mortality Rate Drive Increased Uptake of Baby Diapers in East Africa

A notable decline in rates of infant mortality has been seen in East African countries in the past few years. In Uganda and Kenya, for instance, infant mortality rates have declined from 41.6 to 37.7 and from 38 to 35.5 per 1,000 births, respectively. Other East African countries such as Burundi, Rwanda, and Tanzania have also seen a notable decline in infant mortality. This factor, coupled with the steady rise in disposable incomes in the region have been significant for stimulating the overall demand for baby diapers in the region in the past few years.
