India Superabsorbent Polymer Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Company Share, FY2015-FY2035

The India Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) market volume reached 50 thousand tonnes in FY2022 and is anticipated to further grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.42% during the forecast period until FY2035. Surging demand for eco-friendly hygiene products coupled with exponentially growing child population base are propelling demand for Superabsorbent Polymers across the country.

The growing awareness regarding high water absorbing capability of Superabsorbent Polymers is encouraging their use in sectors like agriculture, packaging, medical and various others. Additionally, improving health standards and rising awareness about adult incontinence products are driving demand for adult incontinence products across the country. Furthermore, rising urbanization and increased awareness about various correctional methods for urinary incontinence are expected drive demand for adult incontinence products during forecast years. Moreover, increasing personal hygiene concerns regarding use of cotton cloth and other conventional female hygiene products has also led to increased instances of vaginal cancer and other forms of infections in females. This is anticipated to propel the demand for sanitary pads and tampons among the female consumer segment in the country. High fluid absorbing capacity of Superabsorbent Polymers facilitates the use of female hygiene products for longer periods of time ensuring full comfort. This application of Superabsorbent Polymers, in the female hygiene segment, is considered to catapult the demand for Superabsorbent Polymers in India. Owing to rising investments in research & development of Superabsorbent Polymer based products, the Superabsorbent Polymer market is estimated to reach approximately 100 thousand tonnes by FY2035.

Based on the region, the Superabsorbent Polymer market is segmented into West, South, North, and South. As of FY2022, West India has been dominating the market, accounting for 50% of Superabsorbent Polymer sales in FY2022. The personal hygiene items and baby diapers are the primary contributors to the market expansion across the nation. As of FY 2022, there has been no domestic producer for Super Absorbent polymer (SAP) in the country. The entire demand of SAP is met via import. SAP is majorly produced from acrylic acid and BPCL is planning to enter the SAP Market by commissioning a 50 KTPA of plant at Kochi refinery. This plant is expected to be commissioned and operational by FY 2026.

Based on end-use, the India Superabsorbent Polymer market is segregated into Personal Care & Hygiene, Medical, and Others. The Personal Care & Hygiene industry captures the majority of the SAP market roughly 85% of market share by volume in FY2022, followed by the medical industry. It is the perfect material to use in items like infant diapers and nappies, incontinence products, and feminine hygiene pads and liners because they are made to absorb liquids. It provides a number of benefits, including better lifestyle, protection against skin irritations, keeping the skin dry, and prevention of infection transmission.

Major players catering the demand of Superabsorbent Polymer in India are Sumitomo Corporation Group, Aobang Imp.& Exp.Co.,Ltd., LG Chem Ltd, Itochu Group, Yixing Danson Science And Technology Co Ltd, and Others.
