Drivers and Restraints
The utilization of SAP in the manufacturing of baby diapers takes precedence among all hygiene products, primarily due to a significant rise in the pediatric population. Projections from the World Bank Group indicate that the population within the age group of 0 to 14 is expected to reach 2.08 billion by 2050. This substantial growth in population is anticipated to drive an increased demand for personal hygiene products, thereby fueling the market growth.

However, declining population growth in some countries due to low fertility rate may stifle the superabsorbent polymers market growth.

Regional Insights
Asia Pacific has emerged as the frontrunner, commanding the largest superabsorbent polymers market share. It is also projected to experience the highest CAGR due to the successful implementation of government programs focused on childcare and women's health in major economies such as China and India within the region.

North America exhibits a notable penetration of personal hygiene products within its population. Furthermore, the region's growing elderly population is expected to be a significant driver of market growth specifically for adult incontinence products in the foreseeable future.
