Super Absorbent Polymer Market Key Highlights

  • In September 2024, Evonik has successfully completed the sale of its superabsorbents business unit to the International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG). The closing of the transaction took place on August 31, 2024, following approval by the competition authorities. Superabsorbents are powdered polymers that are used as absorbent materials in diapers and other hygiene products.
  • In April 2024, a Japanese Company launched the world's first horizontally recycled diapers, which are diapers recycled from other diapers. That is one giant leap toward much more sustainable childcare products that could significantly reduce landfill waste and clean up some of that foul environmental smell left by diapers.

Super Absorbent Polymer Market Report Analysis:

New Product Launches:

·For instance, in July 2024, ZymoChem launched BAYSE the world’s first scalable, 100% bio-based, and biodegradable Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP). ZymoChem recently raised USD 21 million in Series A funding to accelerate the commercialization of BAYSE production.  BAYSE is a drop-in replacement for traditional, fossil fuel-based SAPs, which are a key component in disposable, absorbent hygiene products such as infant diapers.

·For instance, in September 2022, Sanyo Chemical develops superabsorbent polymer using plant-based biomass as part of raw materials and has acquired the Biomass Mark certified by the Japan Organics Recycling Association. The use of biomass materials, SDP Global is developing products with low environmental impact from the perspective of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), including the development of SAP with excellent dehydration properties that contributes to a new collection and recycling system for disposable diapers.
