According to Facts and Factors, the global super absorbent polymer (SAP) market was valued at USD 9.51 billion in 2021 and is predicted to increase at a CAGR of 5.2% to USD 11.02 billion by 2028. The study examines the market in terms of revenue in each of the key regions, which are classified into countries.
A superabsorbent polymer (SAP) (also called slush powder) is a water-absorbing polymer that can absorb and retain unusually large amounts of liquid relative to its own mass. When mixed, water-absorbing polymers, known as hydrogels, absorb aqueous solutions by hydrogen bonding with water molecules. Because of their exceptional properties, super absorbent polymers (SAPs) have been used in a variety of applications. In agriculture, this substance in the soil absorbs water from rains or heavy irrigation and slowly releases it to the roots, resulting in a faster pace of growth. They can also be used to discharge pesticides and agrochemicals in a regulated manner. SAP can promote a variety of soil qualities, as well as boost nutrient retention and water-holding capacity in dry soil.

The use of super absorbent polymers is expanding as the geriatric population grows and people become more aware of the benefits and convenience of adult incontinence products. With the prevalence of adult incontinence on the rise, governments around the world are focusing their efforts on developing incontinence solutions in collaboration with manufacturers and medical professionals. Superabsorbent technology is in high demand, particularly in the disposable hygiene business and agriculture, both of which are quickly extending their applications. To gain a stronger market position, leading corporations are focusing on growing their production capacity through mergers and alliances. Demand for even thinner absorbents for use in diapers and pads is also driving up investment in research and development. However, the market's expansion is likely to be hampered by high raw material costs and a scarcity of raw materials.
Segmental Overview
By Application, the global market is distinguished into Personal Hygiene, Agriculture, Medical, Industrial, and Others. During the forecast period, the medical category is expected to develop at the fastest rate by application. The rise in the healthcare sector of developing countries such as India, China, Australia, Brazil, and others is linked to this.
Sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylate/polyacrylamide copolymer, and others are the most common super absorbent polymers on the market. These polymers are employed in personal hygiene, medical, agricultural, and industrial applications. The market for highly absorbent polymers is dominated by sodium polyacrylate. The rising usage of sodium polyacrylate in personal hygiene applications, due to its high liquid absorption capacity, is driving the segment.
Regional Overview
The market for super absorbent polymers in APAC is the largest and fastest-growing in the world. The rising demand for super absorbent polymers in the region can be ascribed to a number of factors, including the region's vast population, rising middle-class affluence, and low labor and raw material costs. Furthermore, as the number of end-use industries in the area grows, so does the number of breakthroughs and discoveries in the field of super absorbent polymers, propelling the APAC super absorbent polymers market forward. Furthermore, rising per capita disposable income in developing nations encourages individuals to spend on their health and access better healthcare, which will raise the market value of superabsorbent polymers in the near future.
