Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP)- Usage High in Personal Care & Hygiene Product Manufacturing

Super absorbent polymer is a special class of polymer which possess hydrophilic networks that can hold or absorb huge volumes of aqueous solution or water. Earlier superabsorbent was made from chemically?modified starch?along with cellulose and other polymers like polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethylene oxide (PEO), all of which are hydrophilic in nature and possess high affinity for liquid. Super absorbent polymers have unique cross-linked structures due to which they become water-swellable but not water-soluble. They find wide application scope in numerous end-use industries such as food packaging, personal care, agriculture, building & construction, and others.?The global Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) Market is projected to grow USD 13.1 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.9%.

Super absorbent polymers (SAPs) are frequently utilised in the production of hygiene and personal care products. Sweat, urine, and other physiological fluids can all be absorbed by SAPs, which are designed to absorb and hold enormous amounts of liquid. They are most frequently utilised in the manufacturing of absorbent hygiene goods such adult incontinence products, feminine hygiene products, and diapers.

"By Type, the sodium polyacrylate segment is projected to account for the largest share"

sodium polyacrylate is projected to be the largest type segment in the super absorbent polymers market.?It is often called the "super slurper" and is widely preferred for its ability to absorb as much as 400–800 times more water than its mass. It is also the most commonly used type in personal hygiene products such as baby diapers, adult continence products, sanitary napkins, and agricultural applications.

"Agriculture is projected to register the highest CAGR"

The demand for SAP in agriculture applications is increasing due to its water retention property coupled with water scarcity globally. The Ministry of Agriculture of China has overseen significant public investment in water, land, and technology to boost the agricultural sector. In 2011, China invested approximately USD 630 billion for water conservation during the period 2012-2020, which have enhanced the usage of superabsorbent polymers in the country.

"The APAC region leads the super absorbent polymers market in terms of volume"

APAC is the fastest-growing region for the super absorbent polymers market. The growth in demand for super absorbent polymers in the region can be largely attributed to factors such as high population, increasing industrial growth, and changing lifestyles. Moreover, the rising number of end-use industries in the region is also leading to innovations and developments in the field of super-absorbent polymers, thereby fueling the growth of the APAC super-absorbent polymers market.

Nippon Shokubai?(Japan) is one of the leading manufacturers and distributors of super absorbent polymers. The company adopted new product development, acquisitions, and investments & expansions as its key business strategies. For instance, in November 2020, Nippon Shokubai, LiveDo Corporation (Japan), and Total Care System (Japan) jointly developed various technologies to promote systems that recycle disposable diapers, the use of which continues to increase. These three companies have recently developed new recycling technologies for super absorbent polymers in used diapers. The?technology can be applied to a wide variety of super absorbent polymers distributed worldwide. This has enhanced it Nippon Shokubai’s position in the SAP market.

BASF SE (Germany) is one of the largest chemical producers globally. The company is among the key players in the super absorbent polymers market. The company adopted the investments & expansions as its key strategy to strengthen its competitiveness in the global super absorbent polymers market. For instance, in March 2021, BASF invested USD 30.1 million in new excellence center for its hygiene business. With this investments, BASF will increase innovation capabilities for its super absorbent polymer business by building a state-of-the-art Super absorbents Excellence Center at its Verbund site in Antwerp, Belgium.
