Sodium Polyacrylate Product Segment to Remain Attractive

The superabsorbent polymer market is segmented on the basis of product type, application, and region. In terms of product type, sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylamide copolymer, and others are the segments into which the superabsorbent polymer market is divided. Of them, sodium polyacrylate accounts for widespread demand in the superabsorbent polymer market.

This is because sodium polyacrylate is an ideal choice for personal care products such as baby diapers, feminine hygiene products, and adult incontinence products. Some other applications of sodium polyacrylate include thickening agent in industries and for water retention in agricultural settings.

Polyacrylamide copolymer is anticipated to emerge significant in the superabsorbent polymer market. This is owing to high suitability of polyacrylamide copolymer for agricultural applications. The others segment comprise polyvinyl alcohol copolymer and ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymer that exhibit substantial absorption properties.

Application-wise, disposable diapers, adult incontinence products, female hygiene products, agriculture products, and others are the key segments of the superabsorbent polymers market. Disposable diapers is currently the leading application segment for superabsorbent polymers. Going forward, the segment is envisaged to hold leading share in the overall market; disposable diapers segment is predicted to rise at a CAGR of 4.7% between 2017 and 2025.

Adult incontinence products and feminine hygiene products also account as significant application segments for superabsorbent polymers. Adult incontinence products include pads and diapers used to provide protection against bladder leakage. Therefore, superabsorbent polymers used for this application need to exhibit higher absorption property than that for baby diapers.

On the other hand, superabsorbent polymers used for feminine hygiene products need to surpass other applications in terms of retention capacity and absorption rate. This is because superabsorbent polymers are used for menstruation products that need to be foolproof.

Superabsorbent polymers find significant applications in agriculture. They are used to retain moisture in soil especially in cold and dry climatic regions. The use of superabsorbent polymers helps reduce soil erosion and decreases the use of fertilizers. Others application segment of superabsorbent polymers include construction, packaging among others.
