A recent report published by
Infinium Global Research on super absorbent polymer market provides in-depth
analysis of segments and sub-segments in the global as well as regional super
absorbent polymer market. The study also highlights the impact of drivers,
restraints, and macro indicators on the global and regional super absorbent
polymer market over the short term as well as long term. The report is a
comprehensive presentation of trends, forecast, and dollar values of the global super
absorbent polymer market. According to the report, the global Super Absorbent
Polymer market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.66%% over the forecast
period of 2020-2026.
The super absorbent polymer markets
are capable of absorbing large volumes of water and other aqueous solutions.
The other characteristic of these materials is that they can still absorb water
when they are under pressure. In 1978 super absorbent polymer markets were
first produced commercially in Japan. Their introduction has revolutionized the
hygienic and healthcare products segment. super absorbent polymer markets are
suitable for use in the making of hygienic and sanitary products. The
application of these polymers can be found across wide areas. super absorbent
polymer markets are produced from acrylic acids and a crosslinker either by
solution or suspension polymerization. The distinctive crosslinked structure of
the polymers makes them water swelling and not water-soluble. The market for
superabsorbent polymers is highly competitive with the presence of big players
such as BASF SE, Nippon Shokubai, and many more.
The Covid-19 pandemic led to the
halting of manufacturing facilities. This sudden halt of production led to a
shortfall in supply to end-user industries. The restrictions on international
freight movement by the countries were also responsible for the shortfall in
the supply. The global supply chains were affected too. The importance of
personal hygiene was also highlighted during the pandemic. Therefore, people
are demanding more hygienic products.
According to UNO world population in 2020 was 7.8 billion which grew at
an annual rate of 1.1% from 2015-2020. With a birth rate of 18.1 births per
1000, the demand for baby diapers and other sanitary products is on a constant
rise. The growing awareness regarding personal hygiene is also driving the
demand for hygienic products. The farmers giving importance to effective
irrigation systems and water management is also increasing the demand for
agricultural-based super absorbent polymer markets. The use of these polymers
results in effective water management in water-scarce areas, high crop yield,
and other benefits. All these factors are driving the market. The volatility in
the prices of the raw material is acting as a restraint. Increasing investment
in bio-degradable and environmentally sustainable polymers provide a huge
opportunity for the growth of the market.
Asia-Pacific is projected to be
the highest revenue-generating region in the superabsorbent polymer market. The
Asia-pacific region is home to two of the most populous nation India and China
with high birth rates. This is leading to increased demand for baby diaper
pads. Agriculture is practiced by many people in this region so the demand for
agriculture-based super absorbent polymer markets is also high. North America
is anticipated to be the second-largest revenue-making region in the market.
The growing awareness regarding personal hygiene is the key reason for the
rising demand of hygienic products. Europe is expected to be the third-largest
revenue-making region in the market.
