Super Absorbent Polymers Market Size Worth USD 20.08 Billion by 2034 | CAGR: 6.6%


The global super absorbent polymers market size is expected to reach USD 20.08 billion by 2034, according to a 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 into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Super absorbent polymers are materials that can absorb and retain extremely large liquid amounts relative to their mass. These polymers contain sodium atoms that distribute between the liquid and the polymer network, causing the polymer to swell. They are used in various products, including baby diapers, female hygiene products, and incontinence products. Also, they find applications in the agriculture sector to reduce 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.
