According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Super Absorbent Polymer Market is accounted for $9.86 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $16.78 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period. Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is a material that has a high liquid-absorbing capacity. The superabsorbent polymer can absorb and retain extremely large amounts of a liquid compared with its mass. These types of polymers can absorb liquid up to 100 times its own weight.

The growth of the personal hygiene market is driven by increasing awareness regarding the benefits of maintaining cleanliness and personal hygiene. The rising demand for products such as sanitary pads, and wipes, among others, will subsequently drive the demand for personal hygiene products over the coming years. In 2010, the Government of India initiated Menstrual Hygiene Scheme, providing subsidized sanitary pads to rural women living below the poverty line. According to The World Bank, it is projected that the world's population will continue to grow and will reach nearly 10 billion by 2050. An increase in population has led to a rise in birth rates. This has propelled the usage of baby diapers, which, in turn, is likely to boost the demand for superabsorbent polymers across the globe.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand from personal hygiene

In the personal hygiene application, super absorbent polymers are utilized in baby diapers, adult incontinence products, and sanitary napkins. Among these, the utilization of super absorbent polymers is the highest in the baby diapers segment. Also, the rising geriatric population and increasing awareness about the benefits and comfort of adult incontinence products are increasing the use of super absorbent polymers. With cases of adult incontinence on the rise, governments of different countries are focusing on the manufacturing of incontinence products through collaborative efforts with manufacturers and medical professionals. Countries such as the US, the UK, Germany, and Australia have government initiatives that support the use of adult incontinence products.

Restraint:

Water absorption property

Super absorbent polymers are known for their water absorption property, but in contact with ions, this property decreases. This gradually hinders the utilization of agricultural super absorbent polymer attributable to high ion content in the soil because of the presence of fertilizers and irrigation techniques, which is restraining the growth of the market.

Opportunity:

Advancements in the bio-based super absorbent polymers

Conventional super absorbent polymers utilized are non-biodegradable and account for a huge share of landfills globally. Subsequently, investments in the advancement of super absorbent polymers because of on renewable materials are probably going to create new avenues for the global market. Super absorbent polymers based on renewable materials are also a suitable alternative to the petrochemical-based polymers, which are presently utilized in the absorbent core of disposable diapers, among other personal hygiene products.

Threat:

Volatile price of raw materials

Acrylic acid is utilized for the manufacturing of super absorbent polymers. The costs of acrylic acid have been unpredictable because of fluctuations in crude oil prices as well as the tight supply in the market. Crude oil prices are recovering gradually, which will affect the costs of acrylic acid. Environmental regulations in China have resulted in acrylic acid manufacturing plants working at lower rates, thereby limiting the supply-demand gap. This has impacted the prices of super absorbent polymers.

The sodium polyacrylate segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The sodium polyacrylate segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth because of the increasing utilization of sodium polyacrylate in personal hygiene applications, attributable to its high liquid absorption capacity. Sodium polyacrylate act as an effective agent in increasing the biomass efficiency in grasslands, and improving the organic matter content and soil fertility in forestry. Sodium polyacrylate is mostly preferred because of its high absorption control and accessibility in manufacturing hygiene products such as disposable diapers to reduce infection and the unpleasant smell of chemicals.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the rising population coupled with the increasing demand for personal hygiene care products. Additionally, growing awareness about hygiene products is escalating the demand for feminine hygiene products. In addition, rising per capita disposable income in developing nations encourages individuals to spend on their health and access better healthcare, which will raise the market value of superabsorbent polymers in the near future.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the rising awareness regarding personal hygiene along with the increasing demand for personal care products. Countries of North America such as the U.S. and Canada are among the major contributors to the regional market growth and are likely to see a significant regional market growth due to the continuous expansion of the personal care sector.
