Government initiatives such as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicaid in the United States have greatly improved access to healthcare facilities and services for a large portion of the population. Consequently, there has been a surge in demand for branded drugs, medical devices, and healthcare services, driving the consumption of super absorbent polymer in the country. These polymers are utilized in the development of disposable medical connectors, syringes, and depth filters. The market expansion is further fueled by the growing demand from the personal hygiene segment worldwide. Rising awareness about hygiene has led to increased demand for adult incontinence and female hygiene products, bolstering the market. Additionally, the growing geriatric population, particularly in North America and Europe, is expected to support the growth of the adult incontinence products segment. Manufacturers in the consumer goods market are increasingly focusing on the adult incontinence market due to its potential for long-term growth and its ability to attract new customers.
