Superabsorbent
Polymers Market: Introduction
In terms of
value, the global superabsorbent
polymers market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5% from 2020 to 2030 and
cross US$ 15 Bn by 2030. Asia
Pacific dominated the global superabsorbent polymers market in terms of volume
in 2019.
It is estimated to be the leading region of the global superabsorbent polymers
market during the forecast period. The personal care & hygiene sector is
projected to offer lucrative opportunities for the superabsorbent polymers
market in the near future.
Superabsorbent Polymers Market: Major
Drivers and Restraints
Rise in
incidence rate of diseases such as diabetic ulcer, pressure ulcer, and venous
stasis ulcer among the geriatric population has boosted the demand for advanced
injury care products such as superabsorbent polymer products. They are considered
ideal for use in wound dressing applications, due to their high water content
that helps maintain moist wound environment and cool and non-adherent surface.
They also prevent heat absorption and provide comfort to patients. Thus, proven
benefits of superabsorbent polymer products such as improved water retention
ability, controlled release, and preservation of stored components are
anticipated to drive the global superabsorbent polymers market during the
forecast period.

The increase
in usage of superabsorbent polymers in disposable baby diapers and sanitary
products is propelling the global superabsorbent polymers market. These
polymers are added in the form of absorbent layers at the core of the diapers.
This helps them absorb the liquid that is then converted into gel. This
protects the baby from rashes. Furthermore, rise in birth rates has contributed
to the growth in demand for baby diapers. This, in turn, is expected to
significantly boost the superabsorbent polymers market across the globe.
Several
players have taken strategic initiatives, such as capacity expansion, in order
to expand their superabsorbent polymers business, owing to high demand for
superabsorbent polymers in various industrial applications. This is also
projected to boost the superabsorbent polymers market during the forecast
period. For instance, in October 2018, Nippon
Shokubai Co., Ltd. expanded its superabsorbent polymers production capacity at
its manufacturing facility at Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands. The new plant has
production capacity of 100,000 tons per year. This move is expected to help the
company meet the rising demand for superabsorbent polymers. The volatility in
prices of raw materials is a key restraint of the global superabsorbent
polymers market. Acrylic acid, which is manufactured from propylene, is a key
raw material used in the production of superabsorbent polymers. Fluctuation in
prices of raw materials is a major concern for manufacturers of superabsorbent
polymers, as the price of acrylic acid is susceptible to fluctuations in crude
oil prices.

Superabsorbent Polymers Market:
Prominent Segments
In terms of
value, the sodium polyacrylate segment held major share of the global
superabsorbent polymers market in 2019. This trend is
anticipated to continue during the forecast period, due to considerable usage
of acrylate in construction and medical industries. Based on application, the
hygienic segment constituted a significant share of the global superabsorbent
polymers market in 2019. This trend
is estimated to continue throughout the forecast period. On the other hand, the
non-hygienic segment is expected to expand at a faster pace during the forecast
period.
Competition Landscape
Major global
manufacturers of superabsorbent polymers include Evonik Industries AG, BASF SE, Nippon
Shokubai Co., Ltd, LG Chem Ltd., Sumitomo Seika Chemicals Co. Ltd, Sanyo
Chemical Industries, and KAO Corporation. The volatility
in raw material prices of the superabsorbent polymers acts as a significant
barrier for new players to enter the market.
