Global Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) Market to Reach USD 23.7 Billion by 2033, Impelled by Rising Demand for Diapers

November 15, 2024 | Chemical & Materials

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) Market Report by Type (Sodium Polyacrylate, Polyacrylate/Polyacrylamide Copolymer, and Others), Application (Personal Hygiene, Agriculture, Medical, Industrial, and Others), Production Method (Suspension Polymerization, Solution Polymerization, Gel Polymerization), and Region 2025-2033," the global super absorbent polymers (SAP) market size reached USD 11.5 Billion in 2024. Super absorbent polymers (SAP) are a type of polymer materials that have the ability to absorb and retain large amounts of liquids. They are gel-like substances, generally produced from acrylic acid cross-linked polymer networks that comprise water-soluble building blocks, that absorb and hold liquid more than their weight. Additionally, they are sugar-like hygroscopic substances that absorb water to create transparent gel-based particles that are capable of retaining moisture under pressure without conflagrating or rupturing. They are manufactured to absorb different levels of liquid depending on the application and are commonly used in the production of diapers and sanitary napkins, as well as in agricultural products and medical applications.


Global Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) Market Trends:

The escalating demand for premium quality diapers among the masses majorly drives the global market. This can be supported by the growing concerns among parents about the health and hygiene of their babies, along with the accelerating prevalence of skin conditions, such as discomfort, rashes, and skin allergies among newborn babies. Coupled with this, the widespread adoption of SAPs in feminine hygiene products for protecting against skin irritation, providing improved quality of life while keeping the skin dry, and preventing the risks of infections is significantly supporting the market. In line with this, the accelerating utilization of SAP in wastewater management to capture, treat and recycle wastewater as it absorbs and retains large amounts of water and helps in managing water supplies in a cost-effective and sustainable manner is also providing a thrust to the market. Furthermore, the growing shift toward the adoption of sustainable materials and practices in the construction industry is creating a positive market outlook. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to reach a value of USD 23.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.43% during 2025-2033.
