Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) Market, By Type (Sodium Polyacrylate, Poly Acrylamide Co-polymer, and Others), By Application (Disposable Diapers,Adult Inconsistence products, Feminine Hygiene Products, and Others), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) is estimated to be valued at US$ 9.25 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% during the forecast period (2024-2031), as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Super absorbent polymers (SAP) are absorbable materials which can absorb a huge amount of aqueous liquid in relation to their size. Super absorbent polymers is white sugar-like hygroscopic products that swell in the presence of water to form a clear gel. Once they absorb water they don to release it hence are ideal materials for use in products such as incontinence products, baby diapers/nappies, and feminine hygiene pads.
Global Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Global super absorbent polymers (SAP) market has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a market study, the market is expected to grow at a substantial rate between 2023 and 2030. The pandemic has hindered the markets growth, thereby leading to restrictions on manufacturing and production, as well as a rising trend of stocking essential goods. However, the market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% and reach US$ 14.16 Bn by 2031. The report also investigates the effect of the pandemic on the SAP market and its development status. Therefore, the COVID-19 pandemic has had both direct and indirect effects on the global super absorbent polymers (SAP) market, but it is expected to recover and grow in the near future
The demand for super absorbent polymers (SAP) has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic led to restrictions on manufacturing and production, as well as a rising trend of stocking essential goods, which impacted the market growth. The increased demand for medical and hygienic products, such as wipes and diapers that use superabsorbent polymers, has partially offset the limited growth experienced due to the pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the supply chain for super absorbent polymers (SAP) has been significantly affected. There have been disruptions in the supply chain, raw material shortages, and operational difficulties, thereby leading to demand and supply gaps. The complete lockdown and rising cases resulted in restrictions on manufacturing and production, hindering the markets growth. However, as industrial activities resumed, there was a high demand for SAP in various applications such as personal hygiene products, agriculture, and healthcare. The rising trend of stocking essential goods due to the pandemic has also resulted in increased demand for superabsorbent polymers. Despite these challenges, the SAP market is projected to recover and grow, driven by the increasing demand for hygiene products, agricultural applications, and healthcare products.
