Development of Bio-Based Super Absorbent Polymer Bolsters Middle East & Africa Super Absorbent Polymer Market

Super absorbent polymers have been used in diapers, personal care products, agriculture, and healthcare. Super absorbent polymers are derived from petroleum-based raw materials, contributing to environmental concerns and a reliance on non-renewable resources. In response to these challenges, researchers and companies are actively exploring and advancing the field of bio-based super absorbent polymers. Bio-based super absorbent polymers are derived from renewable resources such as plant starches, cellulose, or biomass. One promising technology involves the utilization of agricultural by-products or waste materials to create these polymers, reducing the environmental impact associated with their production. This shift toward bio-based alternatives aligns with the global commitment to reducing dependency on fossil fuels and mitigating the ecological footprint of various industries. Scientists are exploring various modification techniques and crosslinking agents to optimize the absorption capacity and gel strength of the bio-based super absorbent polymer. As research progresses and production methods improve, bio-based super absorbent polymers are poised to revolutionize various industries. The development of biodegradable personal care and hygiene products is boosting the demand for bio-based super absorbent polymers. In May 2023, KNH Enterprise developed a recyclable and eco-friendly sanitary napkin made from bamboo fibers. Rising demand for biodegradable products is prompting market players to invest in research related to bio-based materials. Therefore, the development of bio-based super absorbent polymer is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Middle East & Africa Super Absorbent Polymer Market Overview

According to the Ministry of Health (Saudi Arabia), approximately 290,000 non-critical surgeries were conducted across several regions of Saudi Arabia. The Ministry of Health (Saudi Arabia) revealed that the average number of patients added to the waiting list regarding pediatrics and orthopedics in hospitals was approximately 18,000 per month in 2022. According to a report published by the International Trade Administration in 2022, the government of Kuwait commenced the upgradation of healthcare infrastructure under the National Development Plan with an investment of US$ 104 billion. Adult diapers are widely used by patients experiencing temporary loss of bladder control due to surgical procedures and medical interventions.

The Middle East & Africa faces significant water challenges, with arid and semi-arid regions requiring innovative solutions for water management and crop production. Super absorbent polymers offer promising potential in agriculture due to their ability to retain and release water, improving water use efficiency and drought resilience. The presence of super absorbent polymer manufacturing facilities reduces dependence on imported materials and lowers production costs. Thus, development in healthcare infrastructure, the rising number of patients, and the requirement for water management solutions are expected to create lucrative business opportunities for super absorbent polymer producers.
