Market Overview:
The global superabsorbent polymers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for baby diapers and adult inconvenience products, and rising awareness about feminine hygiene products. In terms of type, the starch-based SAP segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, owing to its high absorbency rate and biodegradability. However, the cellulose-based SAP segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR due to its superior properties such as high water retention capacity and low price point.
Product Definition:
Superabsorbent Polymers are a type of polymer that can absorb large amounts of liquid. This makes them useful for a variety of applications, such as diapers, sanitary napkins, and agricultural products.
Starch-based SAP:
Starch-based SAP is a polymer comprising of highly branched polysaccharide. It has the ability to absorb three times its own weight in water and can be used as an alternative to hydrophilic polymers such as PVA in Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) market.
Cellulose-based SAP:
Cellulose-based SAP is a polymer comprising of long chains of cellulose. Cellulose has been the key raw material used in the production of superabsorbent polymers (SAP) on account of its superior absorbent properties and biodegradable nature. Increasing demand for sustainable packaging, growing food & beverage industry, rising environmental concerns regarding plastic usage are some factors expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Application Insights:
Baby diapers were the largest segment in terms of revenue and are expected to continue dominating the market over the forecast period. The demand for baby diapers is high in developed regions due to a large population, rapid urbanization, rising disposable income and increasing awareness about infant hygiene. In addition, increasing government support towards improving infant health through better sanitation facilities is anticipated to boost product demand in this segment.
Adult incontinence products are expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to an increase in aging population across various regions coupled with growing awareness regarding feminine hygiene issues among women globally. Increasing spending on adult incontinence products as compared with baby diaper products is also projectededto drive industry growth over the next eight years.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to witness a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period, owing to increasing demand for baby diapers and feminine hygiene products. Baby diapers are majorly manufactured from wood pulp-based SAP, which has led to an increase in consumption of SAP by manufacturers in North America.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to be one of the fastest growing regional markets during the forecast period on account of rising disposable income levels and expanding middle-class population base across countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand among others will drive product demand further.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for hygiene and personal care products
- Rising population and growing disposable income in developing countries
- Rapid urbanization and industrialization
- Technological advancements in absorbent polymer products
- Stringent government regulations for environmental protection
