Global Super Absorbent Polymers Market: Overview

Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is a substance with a high potential for absorbing liquids. It is a cross-linked polymer structure that prevents dissolution. This types of polymers can absorb up to 100 times the weight of their own liquid. It is therefore used in products where high absorption properties are necessary, such as infant diapers/nappies, incontinence objects, and others.

Global Super Absorbent Polymers Market: Growth Factors

The demand for adult incontinence and female grooming products, which in turn drives market development, is fueled by high customer knowledge of grooming. The growth of the U.S. market is also positively influenced by rising disposable income, along with increasing understanding of sanitization in the region. In addition, rising birth rates, combined with the growing geriatric population, are expected to boost demand for baby and adult diapers, which in turn would provide the superabsorbent polymer industry with a fillip. To help the industry gain considerable traction in the coming years, the concentration of end-use industries on product innovation is also projected.

Global Super Absorbent Polymers Market: Segmentation

The Super Absorbent Polymers market is fragmented based on product, and application.

By product, the market is divided into sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylamide copolymer and other super absorbent polymers. In 2019, sodium acrylate generated considerable sales and covers more than three-fifth of the global industry. Sodium acrylate is commonly used in infant diapers and adult incontinence products due to its ability to absorb up to 500 times the water mass. In addition , the rising demand for polyacrylamide will fuel the superabsorbent polymer market due to its increasing usage in water treatment, paper-making processes, and widespread use in the manufacture of infant and adult diapers.

On the basis of application, the Super Absorbent Polymers market includes baby diapers, adult incontinence products, feminine hygiene, agriculture, medical and others. The application market for adult incontinence would expand at a pace of over 6.5 percent globally. For aged and elderly persons, the incidence of urinary incontinence and overactive bladder increases. In developing countries , due to hygiene knowledge among people, these items have enormous reach.
