Super absorbent polymers are polymeric materials with high water absorbency, able to absorb 400–800 times their weight in water. SAP is commonly found in personal and hygiene items such as adult continence products, infant diapers, and sanitary napkins. Super Absorbent Polymers are most commonly used in diaper manufacture, but they also have agricultural applications.
The worldwide Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) market is predicted to be worth US$ 9344.2 million in 2021, with a CAGR of 5.8 percent during the forecast period (2021-2028).
Rising global hygiene awareness as a result of increasing incidences of different infectious illnesses is likely to propel the market expansion of super absorbent polymers. Growing demand for diapers, tissues, and sanitary napkins among health-conscious customers is likely to drive super absorbent polymer market growth. Super absorbent polymers are largely employed in the hygiene items listed above.
The growing usage of SAP in end-user applications such as medicine, agriculture, and construction is likely to drive the growth of the superabsorbent polymers market. Furthermore, their exceptional water absorption and water-holding ability is increasing their demand from construction and waste management applications, which is predicted to promote the market growth of super absorbent polymers.
