The rapid adoption of baby diapers in the region is notably driving the superabsorbent polymers market growth in North America, although factors such as environmental pollution may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the superabsorbent polymers industry in North America. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Superabsorbent Polymers Market in North America Driver
One of the key factors driving the superabsorbent polymers market growth in North America is the rapid adoption of baby diapers in the region due to growing hygiene concerns and the entry of new players in the market. For instance, in November 2021, Independent diaper manufacturer Hello Bello has opened the company's first US diaper factory in Waco, Texas. The factory's opening established Hello Bello as the only independent diaper company in the US to manufacture its own diapers from design to delivery. The factory will provide sustainability in production and distribution, quality control, and will keep costs low for the consumer. Other factors such as the technological advances and innovations in the material and design of diapers will also result in the introduction of several novel products with superior properties, which will positively impact the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Key Superabsorbent Polymers Market in North America Challenge
One of the key challenges to the superabsorbent polymers market growth in North America is environmental pollution as superabsorbent polymers are non-biodegradable. Most microorganisms are unable to solubilize superabsorbent polymers because of the polymer's high molecular weight, resulting in a long-term degradation cycle similar to plastic. Moreover, applications of superabsorbent polymers, such as diapers, also generate toxins during their degeneration period. Disposable diapers make up more than 40% of the non-biodegradable waste in the US. In addition, plastic waste is a growing environmental threat in the US and around the region since less than 10% of plastic waste is currently recycled in the US. Disposable diapers, for instance, are made of plastic components that are not recyclable; therefore, 80% of diapers end up in landfills, and the remaining 20% are incinerated. Such factors are expected to challenge the market growth during the forecast period.
This superabsorbent polymers market in the North America analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
