Rising Demand for Hygiene and Incontinence Products Fuels North America Super Absorbent Polymer Market

The rising demand for super absorbent polymers in the personal care industry, owing to their exceptional water-absorbing capacity, favors the market growth. These polymers are commonly used in products such as diapers, sanitary napkins, and adult incontinence products. Their ability to absorb and retain large amounts of liquid enhances the performance of these products, providing improved comfort and efficiency. The demand for super absorbent polymer rises as consumer preferences incline toward advanced and comfortable personal care products. The growing aging population directly translates to a more extensive customer base for adult diapers. Incontinence can significantly impact an individual's sense of independence. Adult diapers enable individuals to engage in social interactions, travel, and participate in various activities without fear of accidents or leakage. According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 6 people in the world will be 60 years and above, by 2030. The share of the population aged 60 years and above is projected to grow from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2030. The world's population aged 60 years and above is projected to double, reaching 2.1 billion. The number of people aged 80 years and above is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million. The rising utilization of adult incontinence prompted several key companies to launch adult diapers.

Super absorbent polymers are also used in the production of sanitary napkins due to their absorbent properties. The consumer expectations for hygiene and comfort rise continuously, thereby encouraging manufacturers to prioritize the utilization of advanced materials such as super absorbent polymers. Further, improved accessibility to sanitary napkins driven by both governmental and non-governmental efforts has made these products readily available to a large population. Therefore, high demand for hygiene and incontinence products such as diapers and sanitary products positively influences the super absorbent polymer market.

North America Super Absorbent Polymer Market Overview

In North America, the utilization of super absorbent polymer is influenced by the rising demand for baby diapers, adult incontinence products, and feminine hygiene products. The emphasis on convenience, comfort, and improved absorbency in personal care products has fueled the demand for high-performance super absorbent polymers. According to the National Association for Continence, more than 25 million adults experience urinary incontinence annually in the US. Patients with incontinence and mobility issues require adult diapers, pads, and underpads for absorption of body fluids. In the healthcare sector, the use of super absorbent polymers in wound care, surgical applications, and incontinence products has also contributed to the expansion of the market. The rising focus on advanced healthcare solutions and innovative materials aligns with the versatile applications of super absorbent polymers in addressing fluid management challenges. The data published by the Canadian Institute for Health Information revealed that cases of pressure ulcers or bedsores in Canada increased from 3,109 in 2017-2018 to 4,440 for the year ending March 2022. Pressure ulcers are prone to exudate, the fluid discharged from wounds. Super absorbent polymers retain significant amounts of exudate, reducing the frequency of dressing changes. Thus, rising incontinence issues and wound care requirement is expected to drive the demand for super absorbent polymer in the region.
