In terms of product segment in the global superabsorbent polymers, sodium polyacrylate has dominated the market share in the recent past. Sodium polyacrylate is used in a wide range of applications such as products of adult incontinence, sanitary napkin, and baby diapers among many others. Polyacrylamide copolymer is the most rapidly growing product segment in the global superabsorbent polymers market. This is mainly because of the properties such as non-toxic nature of material and high absorbing qualities. Both the mentioned product types are mainly utilized in the production of a broad range of products that are used in different industries such as medical, construction, diaper, and agriculture among others. The other product sector consists materials such as polyvinyl alcohol copolymers, ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, starch grafted copolymer of polyacrylonitrile, and cross-linked polyethylene oxide. Of these mentioned product segments, starch grafter copolymer was used as a superabsorbent polymer for the first time.
Amongst the hygiene products, adult diapers and baby diapers are the most prominent applications that create the need for superabsorbent polymers. The segment of baby diapers is expected to be the biggest and fastest developing application in the global market of superabsorbent polymers. The adult incontinence products market was the second biggest market behind baby diapers market in the recent past. During the mentioned forecast period of 2014 to 2020, other segments which includes applications such as medical, paper packaging, construction and agriculture, are expected to witness moderate growth.
