Anticipated Surge: Super Absorbent Polymers Market Targets US$ 16.5 Billion by 2033

 

The super absorbent polymers market size is predicted to be worth US$ 10.2 Billion in 2023, rising to US$ 16.5 Billion by 2033.  The market for super absorbent polymers is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 5% during the forecast period.

The adoption of super absorbent polymers is increasing as a result of an older population and more awareness of the advantages and practicality of adult incontinence solutions. In response to the rise in adult incontinence cases, governments from various countries are focusing on producing incontinence products through collaborative efforts with manufacturers and medical professionals.

In countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia, government initiatives encourage the use of adult incontinence products. Furthermore, the demand for super absorbent polymers is expected to rise because of their superior water absorption and holding capacity in the construction and waste management industries.

Manufacturers in the market for such materials are developing the iodine transfer polymerization (ITP) technique to generate new classes of superabsorbent polymers based on acrylic acid (AA). Because of their remarkable absorption characteristics, ITP-produced AA-based superabsorbent polymers are gaining appeal in the diaper industry. As a result, superabsorbent polymer companies are stepping up R&D efforts to employ specific organoiodine chain transfer agents to polymerize AA in an aqueous solution.

The ITP method makes it feasible for superabsorbent polymers to have better gel strength and absorption capabilities, which is favorable to diaper manufacturers. Businesses are enhancing their reputations by creating super absorbent polymers that balance biomass. Expanding the distribution network is becoming more important to take advantage of the unmet demands that are prevalent in emerging nations. Additionally, to stay up with shifting customer preferences, more focus will likely be placed on the creation of bio-based SAP.
