As per a study by FMI, the superabsorbent polymer demand is expected to increase at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period of 2021 to 2031. Increasing use in the production of medical and personal hygiene products will continue fuelling the demand for superabsorbent polymers.
According to a study by FMI, the disposable diapers manufacturing sector will account for 76% of sales in 2021. Regardless of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 outbreak, the demand increased by 4.7% between 2020 and 2021. Spurred by this, the global super absorbent polymer market is expected to surpass US$9.18bn in 2021.
The rising popularity of adult incontinence and feminine hygiene products is driving sales of superabsorbent polymers. The market also will gain from the increasing awareness about hygiene and safety. The surge in sales is on cards as governments around the world adopt initiatives to spread awareness about the importance of maintaining proper hygiene amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
While several other markets struggled to stay afloat during a pandemic, super absorbent polymers sales continued to rise. The rising demand for medical and hygiene products will continue guaranteeing growth through the forecast period.
The rising prevalence of urinary incontinence also has compelled medical experts to focus on developing improved incontinence solutions. Numerous healthcare policies are therefore undertaken by numerous government bodies to boost healthcare quality. This will present a conducive environment for the overall growth of the market.
However, fluctuating price of raw materials continues to threaten growth in the market.
“Key players in the global market are investing in the development of bio-based superabsorbent polymers in order to keep pace with growing focus on sustainable production. This trend will continue through the forecast period to enable growth in the market in the coming years,” says the FMI analyst.
