Due to its suitable features, super absorbent polymers (SAPs) are increasingly being used in cement-based building materials, which is contributing to the growth of the super absorbent polymer market. As interest in promoting plant growth on green wall facades and reducing fire spiralling grows, the use of super absorbent polymer in cement-based materials is projected to increase.
The industry is expected to gain from increased investments by major players in super absorbent polymer production to fulfil rising demand. The super absorbent polymer (SAP) market is expected to rise due to increased research and development initiatives aimed at discovering the material's use in hygiene and agriculture applications.
The global super absorbent polymer (SAP) market is primarily driven by the rapidly increasing demand for disposable baby diapers, which account for around three-quarters of total global demand by application. The need for infant diapers is rapidly increasing, particularly in Asia Pacific. Baby diaper demand is predicted to increase by over 20% in the future years because of favourable legislation ensuring the continued super absorbent polymer (SAP) industry growth. The Chinese government's relaxation of the one-child policy has boosted the number of births in the country, resulting in a higher need for diapers. India, another significant country in the region, has a large need for newborn diapers due to rising birthrates.
According to the Italian Trade Agency, in 2020, China imported 271.6 units of Italian packing machinery. During the same period, shipments to Italy increased by 29.0%, reaching 21.8 units. Imports climbed to 279.3 units in 2021, reflecting a 2.8% increase, while exports increased to 26.2 units, representing a huge 20.2% gain. Thus, in 2021, the import growth rate was 2.8% while the export growth rate was 20.2%. The trade trends between Italy and China in packing machinery highlight a robust exchange that could have an impact on the worldwide super absorbent market. This machinery is required for the effective and safe packaging of super absorbent polymer (SAP) items such as diapers, adult incontinence products, and feminine hygiene products showcasing significant super absorbent polymer (SAP) market growth.
As per the National Center for Health Statistics, in 2021, the United States reported 3,659,289 births, resulting in a birth rate of 56.6 per 1,000 women aged 15-44, a slight rise from 2020's 3,613,647 births and a birth rate of 56.0. The 30-34 age group had the highest birth rates, with 1,113,678 births in 2021 and a rate of 97.3 per 1,000 women, up from 1,069,984 births and a rate of 94.9 in 2020. Births in the 35-39 age group increased to 591,377 in 2021, with a rate of 54.2, up from 564,059 births and a rate of 51.8 in 2020. Women aged 40-44 saw 126,138 births in 2021, with a rate of 12.1, compared to 120,570 births and a rate of 11.8 in 2020. Births among women aged 45-54 were rare, with 9,418 births in 2021 and a rate of 1.0, slightly up from 9,229 births and a rate of 0.9 in 2020. Increased birth rates drive higher demand for disposable diapers that are heavily reliant on super absorbent polymers (SAPs), thus boosting the demand of super absorbent polymer (SAP) market.
