Global Superabsorbent Polymers Market – Overview

  • The report will cover the overall analysis and insights in relation to the size and growth rate of the “Global Superabsorbent Polymers Market” by various segments at a global and regional level for the 2014-2027 period, with 2014-2019 as historical data, 2020 as a base year, 2021 as an estimated year and 2021-2027 as forecast period.

Global Superabsorbent Polymers Market – Introduction

  • Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is a material that has high liquid absorbing capacity. It is cross-linked structure polymer, which avoids dissolution. These types of polymers can absorb liquid up to 100 times of its own weight. Therefore, it is used in products, such as child diapers/nappies, incontinence items, and others, where high absorption characteristics are required.
  • The factors contributing toward the growth of the superabsorbent polymer market include growth in population in countries such as China, India, Africa, and others rise in popularity of diaper pants, and increase in consumer awareness toward infant’s hygiene. In addition, increase in usage of superabsorbent polymers in agricultural application is also driving the market. Furthermore, high number of aged population in countries such as Japan, Italy, Finland, Greece, and others drives the penetration of adult diapers in these countries, which further boost the market growth. However, volatility in the prices of raw material and non-biodegradable characteristics of synthetic superabsorbent polymer are some of the major factors expected to hinder the growth of the superabsorbent polymer market.
