Superabsorbent Polymers Market: Rising Application in Varied Industries, Besides Demand from Diapers Industry to Boost Growth, TMR

Vendor landscape of the global superabsorbent polymers market is highly consolidated as the top six players accounting for nearly 90% of the overall market in 2013. Among them Bayer AG, Nippon Shokubai Co. Ltd, Formosa Plastics Group, BASF, and Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation were most notable, finds Transparency Market Research (TMR), in a new study. These companies are focusing on various strategies to gain a stronger foothold in the market. For instance, the leading players are paying attention on diversifying their product portfolio to remain competitive through the forecast period. 

TMR forecasts the global superabsorbent polymers market to exhibit a CAGR of 5.5% between 2014 and 2020. At this pace, the market will reach US$8.78 bn by the end of 2020, from US$60.06 bn in 2013. Regionally, while North America dominated the market in 2013, Asia Pacific is expected to report the leading CAGR during the aforementioned forecast period. Based on application, the baby diapers industry held the dominant share of 74% in the market in 2013, and is expected to remain the lead even in the forthcoming years.

Rising Demand for Baby Diapers Industry to Boost Growth 
Considering the dominance of the baby diapers industry, the rising demand for baby diapers witnessed especially in emerging nations across Asia Pacific will create growth opportunities for the market. Besides this, the demand for adult diapers has increased as well owing the rising incidence of chronic ailments worldwide. Spurred by these factors, the superabsorbent polymers market will exhibit strong growth in the coming years. With governments around the world launching initiatives to promote hygiene and wellness among people living in remote years, the demand for superabsorbent polymers is expected to surge further in the near future. 
While over the next few years, the diapers industry is expected to remain at the fore, the market will witness steadily rising demand from agriculture, construction, and medical industries. Superabsorbent polymers have high absorbing and retaining power, due to which, their application is forecast to diversify in the coming years. For instance, in the agriculture industry, superabsorbent polymers are used for potting soil. Besides this, their application in the medical designs manufacturing has gained pace as well. In the construction industry, superabsorbent polymers are used in cable wires.

 Volatility in Raw Material Prices to Pose Threat 
While rising application to remain key to the market’s upward trajectory, growth is projected be hindered by fluctuating prices of acrylic acid, which is a major raw material that goes in the production of superabsorbent polymers. Given the scenario and rising environmental concerns, companies are compelled to look for bio-based materials. Superabsorbent polymers are now being derived from bio-based materials by using starch and cellulose. This is expected to keep the demand for superabsorbent polymers high in the forthcoming years.
Also the rising demand from emerging nations such as India and China will act in favor of the market’s growth. Of course, the demand for non-toxic variants of superabsorbent polymers is expected to be higher than the rest in the coming years. 
The report segments the global superabsorbent polymers market as:

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
