Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/12/2014 --Urinary incontinence is commonly associated with ageing, and as the average age of the Canadian population continues to rise, so does demand for incontinence protection. However, lifestyle for mid-life and older Canadians was just as important as age-related factors in driving retail sales over the review period. Older Canadians are more active than ever; they are living longer and doing more than the previous generation. In this sense, lifestyle trends amongst older consumers are seeing seniors use available solutions to manage physical issues, such as incontinence, as a means of maintaining a youthful lifestyle without impediment. Incontinence products not only resolve a health concern, but also enhance lifestyle.

Competitive Landscape

Kimberly-Clark Corp led the market with a 65% volume and 59% value share in 2013, underpinned by the strength of its Depend and Poise brands. Depend is the most widely recognised brand in the category and has a strong presence in protective underwear, further differentiated by the growing line-up of products for men. The Depend brand has wide retail distribution across all main channels, with increasing product development and marketing support for its underwear products. Whilst Depend focuses on underwear, the Poise brand focuses on pads and liners, primarily targeting women. This strategy thereby helps the company to maintain a strong footing across various customer groups, product formats and customer needs.
