Increasing Adoption of Super Absorbent Polymers in the Healthcare Sector Drives Europe Super Absorbent Polymer Market

Super absorbent polymers are used in wound dressings to manage exudate. Their high absorbency helps maintain a moist wound environment, promoting healing and preventing infections. It is also used in surgical products such as disposable underpads and absorbent surgical drapes. These aid in managing fluids during medical procedures, contributing to a cleaner and sterile surgical environment. In the healthcare setting, super absorbent polymers are utilized in various hygiene products such as bed pads and hospital underpads. This helps in managing bodily fluids and maintaining cleanliness in medical facilities. Super absorbent polymers are integrated into advanced wound dressings, which create a gel-like consistency to protect the wound and aid the healing process. Super absorbent polymers are lightweight and comfortable, making them ideal for incorporation into medical textiles and dressings. The adoption of super absorbent polymer in the healthcare sector is attributed to its versatility, performance, benefits, and ability to address critical needs in various applications of the medical sector. It is used as a bandage for diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, leg venous and arterial ulcers, first and second-degree burns, post-operative wounds, and traumatic wounds. As per the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, the incidence of pressure ulcers ranges from 0.4-38% in hospitals, from 2.2-23.9% in skilled nursing facilities, and from 0-17% for home health agencies. Thus, the rising adoption of super absorbent polymers in the healthcare sector drives the super absorbent polymer market.

Europe Super Absorbent Polymer Market Overview

According to a report by the United Nations Population Fund in 2022, the share of the aged population is anticipated to reach 30% of the total population in Europe by 2050. The aging and geriatric population is most likely to suffer from incontinence and require adult diapers to manage incontinence. Further, adult diapers are widely used in hospice and palliative care settings to ensure the comfort of patients with limited mobility due to their medical conditions. Individuals with several medical conditions, such as mobility impairment or cognitive disorders, require adult diapers to manage incontinence. According to research by the European Association of Urology in 2023, incontinence is reported to become a major health problem in Europe, resulting in total accumulated economic burden of more than US$ 350 billion in 2030. The report also revealed that nearly 55-60 million Europeans suffer from continence health problems.

The increasing demand for wound care dressing and incontinence products is propelling the growth of super absorbent polymer market. The emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly solutions has spurred innovation in the super absorbent polymer market. The rising research in bio-based super absorbent polymer aligns with Europe's commitment to environmental sustainability and promoting a circular economy. Therefore, rising incontinence issues and growing emphasis on the development of bio-based super absorbent polymers are expected to create lucrative opportunities for market growth.
