The superabsorbent polymers market is projected to reach $14.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2024 to 2031, driven by rising demand in personal care products, agriculture for water management, and increased awareness of hygiene and healthcare. Key segments include sodium polyacrylate, expected to dominate the market due to its high absorbency, and polyacrylamide copolymer, which is projected to grow the fastest due to its applications in wastewater treatment and enhanced oil recovery. The granular formulation segment is anticipated to lead the market share, while powder formulations are expected to exhibit the highest growth due to their rapid absorption capabilities. The personal care and hygiene sector will account for the largest market share, with medical dressings showing the highest growth rate, reflecting the increasing need for advanced wound care products.
