Report Description
Biodegradable Superabsorbent Materials Market Outlook 2031
The global biodegradable superabsorbent materials market size was USD 135.2 Million in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 250.7 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the high demand biodegradable superabsorbent materials in the agriculture sector.
In recent years, biodegradable polymers have attracted significant attention as viable alternatives to conventional plastic materials for agricultural applications. These materials are designed to decompose quickly and safely in the environment, thereby reducing the impact of plastic waste on land and waterways. The use of biodegradable polymers in agriculture provides several benefits, such as increasing crop yields, improving soil health, and others.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic hindered the biodegradable superabsorbent materials market, owing to the strict lockdown imposed by the government. During the pandemic, disruption of the supply chain and import & export of materials impacts the market.
Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Biodegradable Superabsorbent Materials Market
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are expected to boost the biodegradable superabsorbent materials market in the coming years. AI is used to design and synthesize bio-based superabsorbent polymers, which absorb water into the polymeric matrix. They are used as a promising alternative to traditional synthetic polymers. AI is used to develop intelligent hydrogels that dynamically adjust physiological factors and respond to exogenous stimuli.
Biodegradable Superabsorbent Materials Market Dynamics
Major Drivers
Increasing demand for biodegradable superabsorbent materials in the construction and building industry is expected to boost the market during the forecast period. These materials are used to improve the strength, durability, and water retention capacity of concrete and soil. They are also used in the manufacture of eco-friendly and biodegradable building materials, such as roofing, insulation, and flooring. Some biodegradable materials that are used in the construction industry include polyitaconic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, and polysaccharides. The use of biodegradable materials in construction helps to reduce the amount of waste generated from demolishing. These materials are eco-friendly and are used as an alternative to traditional synthetic superabsorbent polymers. Several biodegradable materials are used in the construction industry to reduce waste and promote sustainability.
Existing Restraints
High-cost production of biodegradable superabsorbent materials is expected to hamper the market. Biodegradable polymers are more expensive as compared to fossil fuel polymers, such as polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyethylene. The production of biodegradable superabsorbent materials is more expensive than synthetic SAPs, owing to the complex extraction processes involved.
Emerging Opportunities
Rising demand for feminine hygiene, disposable diapers, and other applications is projected to drive the market. The use of biodegradable superabsorbent materials in feminine hygiene and disposable diapers is gaining popularity, due to their biocompatibility and degradability. These materials are a combination of synthetic and renewable raw materials, and are used to absorb and retain fluid, even under moderately high pressure.
