Wet wipes were originally invented by Arthur Julius, a worker in the American cosmetics industry. The first wet wipes were produced in Chicago in 1960. In 1963, it began to provide KFC customers with clean hands, mouth and nose before and after eating fried chicken. The wet wipes were highly praised and loved by customers, and wet wipes entered the daily life of the public. In the following years, wet wipes were continuously developed and empowered, forming various series: There are cleaning wipes for human use, sanitary wipes, baby wipes, care masks, makeup remover wipes, wet toilet paper... There are also medical disinfectant wipes for objects, industrial electronic product wipes, kitchen wipes, pet wipes... As a disposable cleaning and hygiene product, wet wipes have been deeply integrated into modern people's lives. Due to differences in consumption concepts and living standards, wet wipes entered the Chinese market relatively late. In 1984, China's first wet wipes were born in Shanghai. Because wet wipes have exotic colors, they are the first to be used in high-end commercial service occasions such as air travel and foreign-related hotels. The personal consumption wet wipes market developed relatively slowly. It was not until the SARS epidemic at the beginning of this century that a market of a certain scale began to form. In 2023, China's total wet coin market is expected to exceed 110.7 billion pieces, with a market size of approximately 15.3 billion yuan. China's wet wipes market is maturing and developing.
