Five Trends Driving the Super Absorbent Polymers Economy in 2024

The global Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) market is projected to grow steadily, reaching a valuation of USD 10,169.0 million in 2023 and expected to top USD 15,641.7 million by 2033, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. SAPs, also known as hydrogels, are high-weight polymers capable of absorbing many times their weight in fluids, making them essential for applications in agriculture, feminine hygiene products, adult incontinence products, and disposable diapers. Despite experiencing limited growth during the COVID-19 pandemic due to lockdowns and manufacturing disruptions, demand for SAPs surged in medical and hygienic products. As the market recovers, the ongoing use in disposable diapers, adult incontinence products, and feminine hygiene products will drive consistent growth throughout the forecast period.
