Super Absorbent Polymers Market Intelligence

Super Absorbent Polymers Market Description

The global demand for SAP will grow at a CAGR of 5.3 percent until 2022, mainly driven by APAC and MENA regions. The growing demand for disposable baby diapers would be a key market driver which occupies about 75 percent of the global SAP demand. APAC will continue to be the next exporter of SAP, since buyers will rely on the supply from Japan, China, and Republic of Korea. Increasing birth rate in growing economies such as Brazil, India, China, and low penetration rate of diapers in these countries will be the key demand drivers in future. East Asian SAP suppliers hold majority of the global capacity and most of the trade takes place from eastern to western part of the globe to meet SAP demand.

Global Capacity–Demand Analysis

Global demand for SAP is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.6 percent Y-o-Y until 2022, mainly driven by the demand from disposable baby diapers, which constitutes over 70 percent of the global demand

Market Outlook
Sufficient Capacity until 2022

The current global installed capacity will be enough to meet the global demand until 2019, provided the suppliers operate over 95 percent and there are no major force majeure/plant shutdowns
Capacity additions are expected in 2018–2020 in India and China, owing to the improving demand for super absorbent products

Increasing Per Capita Disposable Income

Increasing awareness on disposable baby diapers, increase in disposable income, and purchasing power of consumers in the growing economies, like Brazil, China, and India, will be the key growth drivers of disposable baby diapers

SAP Supply Scenario and Capacity Expansions in the Future

SAP suppliers are expected to operate their plants over 90 percent to meet the demand levels of the CPG industry in the future
SAP capacity addition by Nippon Shokubai during 2018 will play a key role to meet the global demand of the hygiene industry in the future

Global Demand by Application

SAP Downstream Demand Outlook

SAP demand will be mainly driven by the demand from disposable baby diapers from emerging nations, like China and India, as they are expected to witness a steady growth rate of about 15–20 percent in the future
Birth rate in India is around 26–27 millions/year, but the penetration rate of disposable baby diapers is as low as 2–3 percent, owing to the increasing awareness and a rapid shift from cloth nappies to baby diapers
SAP demand from water treatment, agriculture, and medical applications are expected to grow at about 6 percent Y-o-Y until 2018
Increasing demand from these segments are not expected to affect the CPG industry, as:
–Most of the buyers procure from spot market or engage with small-volume SAP producers
–They account for only 5 percent of the global SAP demand
