Free Analysis

Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) was first produced in Japan in the 1970s. This material was used in the manufacture of baby diapers and later in adult incontinence products owing to its high water absorption and retention capacity. SAP is used in diapers as it has the capacity to absorb moisture, thereby keeping the skin dry and protected from rashes and irritation. The material prevents the spread of infection and helps to improve quality of life, personal dignity, and hygiene. Due to these factors, SAP products are set to experience major demand in the near future. There are two major types of superabsorbent polymer (SAP): sodium polyacrylate and polyacrylamide copolymer. Both types are used in the manufacture of diapers and various other hygiene products in the market. Owing to the growing demand for hygiene products, SAP is expected to experience significant growth in the market.

The global superabsorbent polymer market stood at around 2,000 kilo tons in 2014 and is expected to grow at a moderate CAGR from 2014 to 2020. In terms of revenue, the superabsorbent polymer market was valued at around USD 6,300 million in 2014.

The growing baby diaper industry has been driving demand for global superabsorbent polymer. Rising hygiene awareness and growing disposable income of people in emerging economies such as Asia Pacific has been contributing to the demand for hygiene products. Moreover, SAP find applications in wastewater treatment and paper packaging, which is also expected to add to the demand for these polymers in the market. Owing to such wide applications, SAP is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period from 2015 to 2021.

North America dominates the market for SAP. Europe is expected to be the second largest market for SAP followed by Asia Pacific, which is the fastest growing market. Europe accounted for around 25% of the global share in 2014, followed by Asia Pacific. ROW comprising the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa is expected to be the second fastest growing market. Asia Pacific and ROW are expected to witness significant growth owing to rising population and increasing hygiene awareness among the people. On the other hand, developed regions such as Europe and North America are likely to experience sluggish growth owing to the mature markets in the region.

Sodium polyacrylate and polyacrylamide copolymer are major types of SAP and ethylene maleic anhydride, polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and starch grafted polymers among the others. With over 60% share in total demand sodium polyacrylate was the largest product segment of SAP market in 2014. Due to the characteristic features of polyacrylamide copolymer such as its nontoxic nature, high water absorbency capacity, and thickening agent, it is expected to grow at a higher CAGR than sodium polyacrylate. Demand for polyacrylamide copolymer is expected to be driven by strong demand from construction and waste water treatment industry.

The baby diaper industry accounted for the largest market share of the global demand for SAP in 2014. Moreover, it is also anticipated to be the fastest growing application segment owing to increasing demand for baby diapers from emerging economies. Feminine hygiene products application also accounted for significant share of the global market 2014. Others segment, which includes paper packaging and wastewater treatment, is anticipated to fuel demand for SAP from 2015 to 2021.

BASF, Bayer AG, Nippon Shokubai Co. Ltd, Formosa Plastics Group, LG Chem and Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation are some of the key players in the SAP market.
