超吸收性聚合物的使用极大地改变了卫生产业,因为超吸收性聚合物被用于多种产品,例如女性用卫生棉、婴幼儿尿布和成人失禁产品。这是因为超吸收性聚合物有助于保留液体并防止洩漏。此外,除了消费品之外,生物分解性的高吸水性材料也正在进入农业领域。在这一领域,它被应用于园艺,以最大限度地减少土壤养分消费量和水的使用,并且对土壤改良有效。除了园艺之外,这种材料还可以减少作物的缺水并控制多种病原体的能力。

除了农业外,污水处理和采矿等行业也在投资此类材料的使用,进一步推动市场的上升趋势。

生物分解性超吸收材料市场驱动因素:

  • 由于人口增长,对卫生产品的需求不断增长,预计将推动生物分解性的超吸收性材料市场的发展。

个人和女性用卫生用品,例如卫生棉和高吸水性聚合物,通常添加棉花以提高吸收能力。绿色或可生物降解的尿布比化学尿布更具成本效益且更容易分解,化学尿布会在垃圾掩埋场堆积并需要数年时间才能分解。

生物分解性尿布含有部分中和的交联聚丙烯酸钠,对婴儿环保且无毒。随着婴儿护理产品中永续材料趋势的增加,对富含生物成分的高吸收性材料的需求预计也会增加。因此,企业正在投资生产设备,以提高其环保一次性尿布的性能。例如,2023年5月,安德里茨在法国成功安装了加工生产线设备,生产采用90%永续材料製成的婴儿尿布。

此外,人口增长给永续材料的需求带来压力,并促进了生物分解性的超吸收性材料的使用。例如,根据人口研究所的《2023年世界人口资料表》,预计到2035年中期,世界人口将达到89亿,到2050年中期将达到97.96亿。

  • 减少一次性废弃物的有利倡议正在推动市场扩张。

一次性尿布主要由聚乙烯製成,不可回收。随着世界上塑胶废弃物数量的不断增加,人们对高生物含量的永续替代品有着强烈的需求。因此,环境署等多个管理机构正在实施新的政策和计划,禁止在包括婴儿尿布在内的所有消费品中使用传统塑胶。

生物分解性高吸水材料市场的地理前景

The biodegradable superabsorbent materials market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.91% from estimated value of US$222.244 million in 2024 to US$296.220 million in 2029.

Biodegradable superabsorbent materials are made of polymers with high absorbent rates. Due to their rich biocontent, they are easily degradable. The applicability of such materials is rising in personal hygiene and medical care products. With the ongoing shift towards sustainability and biocompatible material usage, the demand for such materials is estimated to show an upward market trajectory in the long run.

The use of superabsorbent polymers dynamically changed the hygiene industry as the polymer is used in various products, such as feminine sanitary napkins, disposable infant diapers, and adult incontinence. This is because it helps in liquid retention, thereby preventing its leak. Moreover, besides consumer products, biodegradable superabsorbent materials are also finding their way into the agriculture sector. In this sector, they are applied in horticulture to minimize soil nutrient consumption and water content usage, thereby demonstrating the benefits of soil amendments. Besides horticulture, the materials also reduce moisture stress in crops and control the capacity for several pathogens.

Besides agriculture, other sectors such as wastewater treatment and mining also invest in such material usage, further leading to an upward market trajectory.

Biodegradable Superabsorbent Materials Market Drivers:

  • The booming demand for hygiene products due to the rising population is expected to boost the biodegradable superabsorbent materials market.

Personal and feminine hygiene products such as sanitary napkins and superabsorbent polymers are added, which are usually made of cotton that improves the absorption capacity. Green Diapers or bio-degradable diapers are cost-effective and can be degraded easily compared to chemical-made diapers that accumulate in landfills and take years to degrade.

Biodegradable diapers contain partially neutralized cross-linked sodium polyacrylate, which is environment-friendly and not toxic for babies. With the growing trend of promoting sustainable materials in baby care products, the demand for superabsorbent material with rich bio content is also expected to increase. Hence, companies are investing in manufacturing facilities to bolster eco-friendly diapers. For instance, in May 2023, ANDRITZ successfully installed a converting line facility in France to produce baby diapers based on 90% sustainable materials.

Additionally, the increase in population is putting pressure on sustainable material demand, propelling the use of biodegradable superabsorbent materials. For instance, according to the Population Reference Bureau's "World Population Data Sheet -2023", the global population is expected to reach 8,901 million by mid-2035 and 9,796 million by mid-2050.

  • Favorable efforts to minimize disposable waste have propelled the market expansion.

Disposable diapers are mainly made of non-recyclable polyethylene. With the growing plastic waste on a global scale, the demand for sustainable alternatives with high bio-content is witnessing significant growth. Hence, various governing authorities, such as UNEP, are implementing new policies and schemes to ban traditional plastic usage in every consumer product, including baby diapers.

Biodegradable Superabsorbent Materials Market Geographical Outlook

  • North America is expected to hold a considerable market share during the forecast period.

Based on geography, the biodegradable superabsorbent materials market is analyzed into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. The North American market is set to grow at a constant rate. It will capture a considerable market share fuelled by the increasing demand for eco-friendly personal hygiene products, especially for baby care, followed by favorable efforts to minimize plastic waste.

Furthermore, the well-established presence of major market players, namely DSM and BASF, that share a comprehensive product offering for the major regional economies, namely the US and Canada, has furthered the regional market demand for such materials. Likewise, major baby care products manufacturers such as P&G are implementing such materials usage in their products and the North American region accounts for a major portion of their sales. As per P&G corporation's 2023 annual report, baby & feminine care accounted for 17% of the company's total product sales, with North America and specifically the United States accounting for a major share of the segment sales alone.

A rise in the geriatric population in the USA has further increased the demand for adult incontinence products. According to the Administration for Community Living USA, more than 16% of people over 65 represent the USA's population.
