Report ID : QR1001402 | Industries : Chemicals & Materials | Published On :January 2022 | Page Count : 232Super Absorbent Polymers Market
Super Absorbent Polymers are materials that, in relation to their mass, can absorb a significant quantity of water. Because of their qualities and nature, they are widely used in a variety of fields, including medical, civil engineering, soil science, agricultural production, and hygiene items. They are loosely cross-linked polymer chains of high weight, often known as hydrogels.
Drivers: Super Absorbent Polymers Market
The superabsorbent polymers market will benefit greatly from the expansion of the global personal care and hygiene sector. Large amounts of water and aqueous solutions can be absorbed and retained by superabsorbent polymers. During the projected period, the superabsorbent polymers market is expected to be driven by rising demand for these goods, rising per capita income, and rising hygiene awareness in developing nations.

Restraints: Super Absorbent Polymers Market
Acrylic acid is utilised in the production of superabsorbent polymers as a raw ingredient. Crude oil and petrochemicals are used to make it. Crude oil and petrochemical prices, on the other hand, are highly variable. This has a direct impact on the cost of producing superabsorbent polymers. As a result, raw material price volatility is expected to restrain the worldwide superabsorbent polymers market over the forecast period.
Impact of COVID-19
The enforced lockdowns in several countries had an influence on the worldwide market. Limited manufacturing and transportation-related delays due to travel restrictions caused problems to the market during the pandemic. The market suffered as a result of these issues. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the market for super absorbent polymers grew slowly due to the lockdown imposed by some countries, as well as lower industrial efficiency due to a workforce shortage.
Segmentation by Type
By Type, the natural category is predicted to expand at the quickest growth rate throughout the forecast period. Natural super absorbent polymer feedstock is biocompatible, non-toxic, and sustainable, as well as readily available, making them a developing trend and alternative to petroleum-based super absorbent polymer.
Segmentation by Application
By Application, during the forecast period, the healthcare category is expected to develop at the fastest rate by application. The rise in the healthcare sector of developing countries such as India, China, Australia, Brazil, and others is linked to this.
Segmentation by Production Method
By Production Method, the solution polymerization is predicted to expand at a fastest growth rate over the forecast period. This can be ascribed to a variety of variables, including high efficiency, cheaper capital costs, and so on.
Segmentation by Region
By Region the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa. North America is the fastest-growing area, owing to increases in the healthcare sector and increased demand for diapers as a result of rising population. Oceania, Central and Southern Asia, and other regions are predicted to see an increase in diaper demand over the next ten years, as their populations are expected to expand significantly.
Competitive Landscape:
Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd, Evonik Industries AG, BASF SE., Kao Corporation, Sumitomo Seika Chemicals Co. Ltd., Sanyo Chemicals Industries, Ltd., LG Chemicals Ltd, Yixing Danson Technology, Zhejiang Weilong Polymer Material Co., Ltd, Quan Zhou Banglida Technology Industry Co., Ltd
Industrial Development:
Sumitomo Seika Chemicals Co., Ltd. increased its superabsorbent polymer production facilities at Sumitomo Seika Polymers Korea Co., Ltd., its consolidated subsidiary in South Korea, in May 2017. Due to the region's significant economic growth, the market for superabsorbent polymers is likely to increase even more. The capacity expansion is expected to assist the company in meeting the growing demand for superabsorbent polymers from customers in Asia Pacific.
LG Chem Ltd invested US$ 278.32 million in expanding its acrylic acid and superabsorbent polymer production capacity in December 2017. The development is expected to boost manufacturing capacity at its operations in Yeosu, South Korea's southern metropolis.
