簡介目錄

生物分解性超吸收材料市場預計將從2024年的222,244,000美元成長到2029年的296,220,000美元，複合年成長率為5.91%。

生物分解性的超吸水材料由高吸水性聚合物製成。由於其豐富的生物含量，它很容易分解。此類材料擴大應用於個人衛生和醫療護理產品。由於持續轉向永續性和生物相容性材料的使用，從長遠來看，市場對此類材料的需求預計將呈現上升趨勢。

超吸收性聚合物的使用極大地改變了衛生產業，因為超吸收性聚合物被用於多種產品，例如女性用衛生棉、嬰幼兒尿布和成人失禁產品。這是因為超吸收性聚合物有助於保留液體並防止洩漏。此外，除了消費品之外，生物分解性的高吸水性材料也正在進入農業領域。在這一領域，它被應用於園藝，以最大限度地減少土壤養分消費量和水的使用，並且對土壤改良有效。除了園藝之外，這種材料還可以減少作物的缺水並控制多種病原體的能力。

除了農業外，污水處理和採礦等行業也在投資此類材料的使用，進一步推動市場的上升趨勢。

生物分解性超吸收材料市場促進因素：

  • 由於人口成長，對衛生產品的需求不斷成長，預計將推動生物分解性的超吸收性材料市場的發展。

個人和女性用衛生用品，例如衛生棉和高吸水性聚合物，通常添加棉花以提高吸收能力。綠色或可生物分解的尿布比化學尿布更具成本效益且更容易分解，化學尿布會在垃圾掩埋場堆積並需要數年時間才能分解。

生物分解性尿布含有部分中和的交聯聚丙烯酸鈉，對嬰兒環保且無毒。隨著嬰兒護理產品中永續材料趨勢的增加，對富含生物成分的高吸收性材料的需求預計也會增加。因此，企業正在投資生產設備，以提高其環保一次性尿布的性能。例如，2023年5月，安德里茨在法國成功安裝了加工生產線設備，生產採用90%永續材料製成的嬰兒尿布。

此外，人口成長給永續材料的需求帶來壓力，並促進了生物分解性的超吸收性材料的使用。例如，根據人口研究所的《2023年世界人口資料表》，預計到2035年中期，世界人口將達到89億，到2050年中期將達到97.96億。

  • 減少一次性廢棄物的有利舉措正在推動市場擴張。

一次性尿布主要由聚乙烯製成，不可回收。隨著世界上塑膠廢棄物數量的不斷增加，人們對高生物含量的永續替代品有著強烈的需求。因此，環境署等多個管理機構正在實施新的政策和計劃，禁止在包括嬰兒尿佈在內的所有消費品中使用傳統塑膠。

生物分解性高吸水材料市場的地理前景

  • 預計北美在預測期內將佔據重要的市場佔有率。

從區域來看，生物分解性超吸收材料市場分為北美、南美、歐洲、中東和非洲以及亞太地區。北美市場將保持穩定的成長速度。由於對環保個人產品（尤其是嬰兒護理產品）的需求不斷成長，以及減少塑膠廢棄物的積極努力，北美市場預計將獲得顯著的市場佔有率。

此外，領先的市場參與者帝斯曼和BASF的存在，為美國和加拿大的主要區域經濟體提供全面的產品，進一步增加了區域市場對此類材料的需求。同樣，寶潔等主要嬰兒護理產品製造商已在其產品中實施此類材料的使用，北美地區佔其銷售額的大部分。根據寶潔公司2023年年報，嬰兒及女性護理產品佔該公司產品總銷售額的17%，其中北美地區，尤其是美國，僅佔該細分市場銷售額的最大佔有率。

美國不斷成長的老年人口進一步增加了對成人失禁產品的需求。根據美國社區生活管理局的數據，超過 16% 的美國人口年齡在 65 歲或以上。人們對女性衛生的認知以及對衛生棉和衛生棉條等產品的需求進一步增加了對生物分解性的超吸收性材料的需求。

The biodegradable superabsorbent materials market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.91% from estimated value of US$222.244 million in 2024 to US$296.220 million in 2029.

Biodegradable superabsorbent materials are made of polymers with high absorbent rates. Due to their rich biocontent, they are easily degradable. The applicability of such materials is rising in personal hygiene and medical care products. With the ongoing shift towards sustainability and biocompatible material usage, the demand for such materials is estimated to show an upward market trajectory in the long run.

The use of superabsorbent polymers dynamically changed the hygiene industry as the polymer is used in various products, such as feminine sanitary napkins, disposable infant diapers, and adult incontinence. This is because it helps in liquid retention, thereby preventing its leak. Moreover, besides consumer products, biodegradable superabsorbent materials are also finding their way into the agriculture sector. In this sector, they are applied in horticulture to minimize soil nutrient consumption and water content usage, thereby demonstrating the benefits of soil amendments. Besides horticulture, the materials also reduce moisture stress in crops and control the capacity for several pathogens.

Besides agriculture, other sectors such as wastewater treatment and mining also invest in such material usage, further leading to an upward market trajectory.

Biodegradable Superabsorbent Materials Market Drivers:

  • The booming demand for hygiene products due to the rising population is expected to boost the biodegradable superabsorbent materials market.

Personal and feminine hygiene products such as sanitary napkins and superabsorbent polymers are added, which are usually made of cotton that improves the absorption capacity. Green Diapers or bio-degradable diapers are cost-effective and can be degraded easily compared to chemical-made diapers that accumulate in landfills and take years to degrade.

Biodegradable diapers contain partially neutralized cross-linked sodium polyacrylate, which is environment-friendly and not toxic for babies. With the growing trend of promoting sustainable materials in baby care products, the demand for superabsorbent material with rich bio content is also expected to increase. Hence, companies are investing in manufacturing facilities to bolster eco-friendly diapers. For instance, in May 2023, ANDRITZ successfully installed a converting line facility in France to produce baby diapers based on 90% sustainable materials.

Additionally, the increase in population is putting pressure on sustainable material demand, propelling the use of biodegradable superabsorbent materials. For instance, according to the Population Reference Bureau's "World Population Data Sheet -2023", the global population is expected to reach 8,901 million by mid-2035 and 9,796 million by mid-2050.

  • Favorable efforts to minimize disposable waste have propelled the market expansion.

Disposable diapers are mainly made of non-recyclable polyethylene. With the growing plastic waste on a global scale, the demand for sustainable alternatives with high bio-content is witnessing significant growth. Hence, various governing authorities, such as UNEP, are implementing new policies and schemes to ban traditional plastic usage in every consumer product, including baby diapers.

Biodegradable Superabsorbent Materials Market Geographical Outlook

  • North America is expected to hold a considerable market share during the forecast period.

Based on geography, the biodegradable superabsorbent materials market is analyzed into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. The North American market is set to grow at a constant rate. It will capture a considerable market share fuelled by the increasing demand for eco-friendly personal hygiene products, especially for baby care, followed by favorable efforts to minimize plastic waste.

Furthermore, the well-established presence of major market players, namely DSM and BASF, that share a comprehensive product offering for the major regional economies, namely the US and Canada, has furthered the regional market demand for such materials.
