Biodegradable superabsorbent materials market from the polyvinyl alcohol segment is set to record a growth rate of above 5% up to 2032. Polyvinyl alcohol is a petroleum-derived biodegradable polymer that has found its use in a slew of applications such as the preparation of glue thickeners, polyvinyl butyral, textile sizing, and paper coatings. It is widely used because of its solubility in water and is easily biodegraded by microorganisms as well as enzymes. Polyvinyl alcohol is also majorly used as a biodegradable plastic sheet in feminine hygiene and adult incontinence products.
Based on application, the biodegradable superabsorbent materials market from the disposable diapers segment is anticipated to cross USD 220 million by 2032. This growth will be credited to the rising infant population and higher consumer spending on baby hygiene products across developing countries. Concerns over environmental pollution and the introduction of new regulatory policies that aim at controlling municipal and industrial waste generation will motivate industry manufacturers to focus on producing biodegradable products.
Europe Biodegradable superabsorbent materials market is slated to register around 5% CAGR between 2023 to 2032. Consumers in the region have become increasingly conscious of the benefits of using eco-friendly products and the impacts it has on the environment and climate. This has led to an increase in the demand for biodegradable superabsorbent polymers across European countries. Many consumers are willing to pay extra to attain biodegradable products.
