Wilmington, Delaware, United States, Transparency Market Research, Inc., Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global superabsorbent polymer market for agriculture application (農業用途の高吸水性ポリマー市場) value is estimated to reach US$ 22.9 Bn by the end of 2031 from US$ 12.6 Billion in 2022 at a decent CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period.
Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) are a type of hydrogel material capable of absorbing and retaining large quantities of liquid relative to their weight. These polymers are designed to have a high absorption capacity, usually from 10 to 1,000 times their weight in water or the other aqueous solutions.

Delving Deeper into Superabsorbent Polymer Market for agriculture Application
Super absorbent polymers (SAPs) belong to the class of polymeric materials that are able to absorb higher amounts of liquids or aqueous solutions relative to their mass. SAPs are usually cross-linked to create hydrogels, which are three-dimensional hydrophilic networks. While synthetic and naturally occurring materials can be used to synthesize SAPs, synthetic polymers are typically used in agricultural applications because of their beneficial qualities.
SAPs find their presence in the form of a type of hydrogel amendment for the soil. Since hydrogels can absorb and hold water up to hundreds of times its weight before gradually releasing it, they are conducive to this kind of application.
Moreover, adding hydrogels to the soil can improve plant growth and survivability by increasing soil water content and retention, influencing soil permeability, density, structure, infiltration rates, and lowering nutrient losses.
This is particularly crucial in dry and semi-arid climates, where effective water resource management is essential for sustainable farming.
The market is also subject to volatility in the price of raw materials such as acrylic acid. This susceptibility is likely to make the superabsorbent polymers buoyant to uncertainties regarding their production and supply at regular intervals. This, in turn, would affect the costing dynamics of superabsorbent polymer industry in the near future. Moreover, the lack of biocompatibility on the part of synthetic SAPs may prompt the end-users to give a second thought regarding their utilization. As such, production of biodegradable SAPs is on the anvil.
Key Takeaways for Superabsorbent Polymer Market for Agriculture Application
Sustainability Farming – Need of Hour
Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) play an important role in addressing challenges such as water scarcity by significantly enhancing water retention in soil. SAPs can absorb and hold large amounts of water relative to their weight, which they then slowly release over the period of time. This capability ensures that crops receive a steady supply of moisture even during the dry period, thereby mitigating the impact of droughts and reducing crop failure risks.
Moreover, the utilization of SAPs in agriculture enhances sustainability by helping farmers manage water resources more effectively. In regions with limited water availability, the ability to retain and utilize every drop of water can make a significant difference in crop viability and farm profitability. SAPs support sustainable farming practices by reducing the need for continuous irrigation, thus conserving water and reducing the strain on local water supplies.

How about Regions?
Asia Pacific – The Leader
Asia Pacific houses agrarian economies. Usage of SAPs in farming is preferred owing to explicit water-retaining capacities that help in enhancement of quality of soil. Water management can thus be facilitated, especially where its scarcity is rampant and the major factor driving the economy is agriculture.
SAPs also help in conditioning of the soil by improving the structure and aeration pertaining to soil. It performs this function by enabling better growth of nutrients and development of roots by the plants. This, in turn, results in optimum consumption of water.
As per the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, agriculture contributes to 18.3% of India’s GDP. Effective usage of SAPs is bound to simplify the farming cycle going forward.
