Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is a polymer with cross-linked structure which prevents disintegration. This substance possesses a high capacity to absorb liquids. It can be produced at cheap costs. The primary market driving factor for the growth of Superabsorbent Polymer market is its application in Personal hygiene Industry. To absorb water and aqueous solutions, SAPs are frequently used in baby diapers, adult diaper products, and feminine hygiene products like sanitary napkins. It is a better alternative to cotton in sanitary napkins and prevents the chances of vaginal cancer. Furthermore, its application in the medical sector for surgical bands, dressings, and implants is another leading fragment of the market. Moreover, the application of SAP in the agriculture sector such as drip irrigation is anticipated to further propel its demand in the forecast period. The Superabsorbent Polymer market demand is expected to reach approximately 5100 thousand tonnes by 2030.
Based on region, Asia Pacific is dominating across all the areas around the globe, With a regional share of over 40% in 2021, Asia-Pacific is expected to have the biggest demand for superabsorbent polymer globally, followed by Europe. Growing demand for baby diapers due to greater birth rates, higher disposable incomes, and expanding public awareness of hygiene, particularly in China and India, are factors driving the SAP market in the emerging economies of APAC. Moreover, Asia Pacific is also leading in terms of producing SAP as majority of the factories are set up in locations like China, Japan, and Korea.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Superabsorbent Polymer market is segmented into Personal hygiene, Medical, Agriculture, and Others. The Personal hygiene industry is dominating the Superabsorbent Polymer market. In 2021, this industry held a market share of nearly 75% of the global SAP market. It is anticipated that this sector will maintain its position owing to growing demand of crops with the fast-growing population across the globe. Other applications of Superabsorbent Polymer in the medical sector owing to its high-absorption rate along with ability to replace traditional materials like cotton and cloth is anticipated to further fuel the Superabsorbent Polymer demand in the forecast period.
