Super Absorbent Polymers Market was valued at USD 19,738.6 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% over 2024-2030. The super absorbent polymers market is the market that focuses on the development and distribution of water-absorbing hydrophilic homopolymers, or copolymers otherwise called super absorbent polymers which have an extraordinarily high liquid absorption and retention capacity relative to their own mass. These polymers, sometimes referred to as hydrogels, have the ability to expand and transform into a gel-like material when in contact with water or other liquids. The unique properties of super absorbent polymers make them highly desirable to be used in a wide range of products that require high absorbency such as disposable diapers, adult incontinence products, feminine hygiene products, and medical dressings. The demand for super absorbent polymers is primarily driven by the growing demand for disposable hygiene products brought on by the rise in global population and urbanization.
Moreover, the growing awareness of personal hygiene and health-related issues has led to an increased demand for hygiene products that offer superior performance and comfort further accelerate the development of the super absorbent polymers market. Furthermore, advancements in super absorbent polymer technology and focus on sustainable and eco-friendly solutions present possibilities for the expansion of the super absorbent polymers market. However, super absorbent polymers can be relatively expensive compared to other materials due to the higher cost of production and raw materials which can limit their adoption and ultimately restrict the super absorbent polymers market growth. Key industry players are establishing partnerships and adopting innovative technologies to develop novel and extraordinary solutions to fllllll the needs of the rising population. For example, in July 2019, DIC Corporation initiated a cooperative research project with Green Earth Institute Co., Ltd. (GEI) to develop naturally produced aspartic acid and a biodegradable aspartic acid-based waterborne superabsorbent polymer (SAP).

The 60+ age group in the U.S. and Canada is projected to hold 36.2% and 43% of the total population by 2050, respectively, according to a study published by the United Nations World Population Prospects. In 2015, 24.5% and 26.5% of the total population were in the 60 + age group in the U.S. and Canada. The demand for incontinence products, which is expected to drive the demand for super absorbent polymers (SAPs) in the coming years, is therefore strong. In comparison, compared to baby diapers, the amount of SAP needed for incontinence products is high, as these require high absorbency under load. The demand for super absorbent polymer products with improved capacity to absorb water is therefore growing. Demand for adult incontinence products is on the rise and attractive market opportunities are expected to open up, especially within mature economies.
2023 is the base year and 2030 is the forecast year.
