Global superabsorbent polymers market is expected to attain a market size of 12.24 Billion by 2025, at the CAGR of 6.10% from 2018 to 2025. Increasing demand for fluid absorbing products for applications such as baby diapers, adult incontinence pads, female hygiene products, and medical dressing is expected to drive the demand.
Market Overview:
Superabsorbent polymers, when cross-linked, absorb aqueous solutions through hydrogen bonding with water molecules. It consists of a set of polymeric chains that are parallel to each other and regularly linked to each other by cross-linking agents, thus forming a network. When water comes into contact with one of these chains, it is drawn into the molecule by osmosis. Water rapidly migrates into the interior of the polymer network where it is stored. The global increase in birth rate, as well as the geriatric population, is giving rise to an increased demand for baby and adult diapers thus driving the demand for superabsorbent polymers.
