Product Definition:
A superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is a water-insoluble, high-molecular weight polymer that can absorb and retain large quantities of a liquid. SAPs are used in various industrial and consumer applications, including disposable diapers, feminine hygiene products, 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 is used as an ingredient in various applications such as diapers, feminine hygiene products, adult incontinence products and baby care goods among others.
Cellulose-Based SAP:
Cellulose-based SAP is a polymer comprising of regenerated cellulose and water. It has high absorbent capacity than its counterparts, which makes it an ideal material for use in the production of superabsorbent polymers (SAP). Cellulose-based SAP accounts for approximately 40% to 50% by weight of the total SAP mass. The product can be manufactured via chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis methods.
Application Insights:
Baby diapers were the largest application segment in the global superabsorbent polymers (SAP) market, accounting for over 70% of the revenue share in 2017. The product is widely used in baby diapers owing to its properties such as rapid absorption and high capacity holding. Baby diapers are a convenient solution for parents as they can be easily purchased and stored at home without having to go through the hassle of traveling with a baby and trying to find a place where you can use the bathroom. However, increasing usage of disposable products may hamper market growth over the forecast period.
Adult incontinence products are expected to grow at an estimated CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 due largelyto rising awareness about hygiene among women across various regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa.
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 superabsorbent polymers such as SAP and cellulose-based SAP due to their properties such as water absorption capacity, softness, affordability, ease of use and safety for infants.
Asia Pacific is projected to be one of the fastest growing regional markets during the forecast period owing to rising disposable income levels coupled with changing consumer lifestyle in developing countries including China and India which will result into increased demand for various incontinence products over next eight years (2018-2030).
Growth Factors:
- Rising demand for hygiene and sanitation products: The global population is growing at a rapid pace and this is expected to result in an increase in the demand for hygiene and sanitation products. This will create opportunities for SAP manufacturers as these products require high-quality SAPs for their effective functioning.
- Increasing awareness about the benefits of using SAPs: There is a growing awareness among consumers about the benefits of using SAPs, which is resulting in an increase in their demand. This trend is likely to continue in the future, providing growth opportunities for SAP manufacturers.
- Rapid urbanization: The rate of urbanization across the world is increasing rapidly, which is leading to an increase in the demand for infrastructure development projects such as water treatment plants, septic tanks, etc., all of which require high-quality SAPs. This provides significant growth prospects for the global SAP market.
