Basically, SAP is a material that has the unique ability to absorb and retain large volumes of liquid up to 400-500 times of its own weight. These polymers are granular material that looks a bit like granulated sugar that soaks up the liquid. SAPs have characteristic features of biocompatibility, high absorption capacities, hydrophilicity, swelling and de-swelling.
Moving further, the report provides details of the market segmentation by types, application and geography. On the basis of its types, it includes- Sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylamide copolymers and by other polymers. Whereas, market segmentation by application includes-

• Baby diaper sector
• Adult incontinence product sector
• Feminine hygiene product sector and others

Personal care is a major application for the SAP market. SAPs are primarily used as an absorbent for water and aqueous solutions in diapers. Thus, the market for diaper is the largest application for super absorbent polymers. The major factor responsible for the market segment’s growth is the increasing infant population in the developing countries. Additionally, major trends in the market are- Rise in the demand for bio-based polymers, government initiatives towards women’s health and use of SAP in other applications. The global SAP market relies largely on sodium polyacrylate segment for the production of SAPs.
