Market Driver

The personal care industry is expected to rise in popularity, especially in emerging economies, due to increasing disposable income and increased customer awareness of personal hygiene. However, demand development is hampered by fluctuating supply and volatile raw material costs. The World Bank Group estimates that by 2050, the global population of people aged 0 to 14 will be 2.08 billion. The personal hygiene application division holds the majority of the market share for ultra-absorbent polymers. Super absorbent polymers are used in infant diapers, adult incontinence materials, and sanitary napkins for personal hygiene. In the baby diapers category, the use of ultra-absorbent polymers is the largest. Furthermore, as the geriatric population grows and people become more knowledgeable of the benefits and ease of adult incontinence goods, the use of super absorbent polymers is growing. With the prevalence of adult incontinence on the increase, policymakers around the world are concentrating their attention on developing incontinence devices in collaboration with manufacturers and medical professionals. Government programs in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia encourage the use of adult incontinence drugs. In today's market, traditional super absorbent polymers are non-biodegradable and account for a significant portion of landfills worldwide. As a result, investments in the production of super absorbent polymers based on sustainable materials could open up new doors. Super absorbent polymers made from renewable materials are also a good substitute for petrochemical-based polymers like potassium polyacrylate and sodium polyacrylate, which are consumed in the disposable diapers as absorbent core and other types of personal hygiene products. Ecovia Renewables Inc. (US) made research grants in 2017 for the advancement of biopolymers products for use in diapers.

Segment Outlook

Based on type, the market is segmented into Sodium Polyacrylate, Polyacrylate/Polyacrylamide, Copolymers and Others. The Sodium Polyacrylate segment is estimated to be the largest segment over the forecast period.  Based on application, the market is segmented into Personal Hygiene, Agriculture, Medical, Industrial, Packaging, Construction, Oil & Gas and Others.
