Super Absorbent Polymers Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Type (Sodium Polyacrylate, Polyacrylate/Polyacrylamide, and Copolymers), Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Afric

The global super absorbent polymers market size is expected treach USD 20.08 billion by 2034, according ta new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Super Absorbent Polymers Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Type (Sodium Polyacrylate, Polyacrylate/Polyacrylamide, and Copolymers), Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight intcurrent market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Super absorbent polymers are materials that can absorb and retain extremely large liquid amounts relative ttheir mass. These polymers contain sodium atoms that distribute between the liquid and the polymer network, causing the polymer tswell. They are used in various products, including baby diapers, female hygiene products, and incontinence products. Also, they find applications in the agriculture sector treduce drought stress and improve soil water holding capacity.

The super absorbent polymers market growth is primarily fueled by rising demand for female hygiene products, baby diapers, and adult incontinence products. The increasing birth rate, along with the rising geriatric population, is further driving the demand for super absorbent polymers.

Increasing partnerships between governments and market participants worldwide for prioritizing the development of incontinence products is anticipated tdrive the adoption of super absorbent polymers in the coming years. The rising awareness about environmental concerns and increasing emphasis on sustainability present significant super absorbent polymers market opportunities for established players and new entrants.

Super Absorbent Polymers Market Report Highlights

Based on type, the sodium polyacrylate segment held the largest revenue share of 21% in 2024. The segment’s robust growth can primarily be attributed tthe various benefits of sodium polyacrylate super absorbent polymers, including good gel strength, high absorption capacity, and strong wetness resistance.

Based on application, the personal hygiene segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 68% in 2024. The increased emphasis on personal hygiene is the primary factor driving the expansion of the segment in the super absorbent polymer market.

Asia Pacific dominated the market with the largest revenue share of 41% in 2024. Rising disposable income, growing geriatric population, and increased awareness about baby health further fuel the adoption of super absorbent polymers in the region.

The Europe super absorbent polymers market is projected tgrow during the forecast period, owing tincreased awareness about personal care and overall well-being.

A few of the global key market players include BASF (Germany); Nippon Shokubai (Japan); Evonik (Germany); LG Chem (South Korea); Sumitom(Japan); SDP Global (Japan); Formosa (Taiwan); Satellite Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (China); Yixing Danson (China); and KaCorporation (Japan).
