This report covers the impact of COVID-19 on this global market

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Superabsorbent Polymers Market accounted for $9.00 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $18.47 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period. Some of the key factors propelling the growth of the market are the rising population, increasing awareness about hygiene, and growing demand for fluff-less diaper. However, the non-biodegradable nature of synthetic super absorbent polymer is the restraining factor for the growth of the market.

Slide101_400x200.png

Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is a material that has a very high liquid-absorbing capacity. It is a cross-linked structure polymer which can avoid dissolution. These types of polymers can absorb liquid up to 100 times its weight. Therefore, it is used in products in which high absorption characteristics are required.  

By application, the personal hygiene segment is expected to grow at a significant market share during the forecast period owing to the increase in birth rate coupled with the growing number of cases of adult incontinence. Based on geography, Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold considerable market share during the forecast period which is attributed to the rising disposable income of people in the developing nations like China and India.
