Abstract

This report:

  • Analyzes the technical/market applications for polymers in absorption, adsorption, identification, purification and so forth.
  • Focuses on all key end use sectors and applications such as Agriculture, Bio-Tech, Cosmetic, Hazardous Spills, Pharmaceutical, and Personal Hygiene. Includes super absorbent polymers used extensively in industry.
  • Provides market forecasts through 2012 by material and end-use sector and application.
  • Assesses worldwide industry structure as well as the competitiveness of producers. Market shares, product overviews, standards, company profiles and more are all covered.
  • Discusses and analyzes influential factors including R&D update and patent activity, pending and acquired.

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The goals of BCC Research in conducting this study are to:

  • Supply a detailed review of polymeric adsorbents and absorbents, including a description of materials and processes utilized for their manufacturing
  • Identify the latest technological developments
  • Outline the various applications
  • Evaluate the worldwide market for these products

BCC will also provide an industry growth forecast for polymeric adsorbents and absorbents covering a 5-year period from 2008 through 2013. BCC is particularly interested in assessing the current status of this industry and evaluating market trends and research activities and their impact on industry growth.

REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY

The origins of polymer sorbents (absorbents and adsorbents) can be traced back to the mid-1800s, when the first polymer crosslinking reactions were discovered and investigated. Since then, natural, synthetic, and semisynthetic polymer sorbents have been introduced in many industrial and non-industrial sectors, becoming a multi-billion dollar industry.

In particular, this study covers synthetic and semisynthetic polymer absorbents and adsorbents whose growth began gaining traction after World War II, reaching critical mass during the 1970s when superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) started being commercialized.

During the last 35 years, synthetic and semisynthetic polymer absorbents have been introduced in very large markets such as the consumer market (in particular, for manufacturing baby and toddler diapers, and adult hygiene products), the food industry, the environmental sector, life sciences, agriculture, sensors and instrumentation, and the chemical and petrochemical sectors.

These materials are also currently being evaluated for application in high-tech sectors, such as energy (e.g., for fabrication of lithium-ion batteries and dye-sensitized solar cells) and electronics (e.g., for manufacturing photonic crystals).

Consequently, there is a need for a detailed analysis of current and future applications for these products, while illustrating their types and most typical compositions.

An additional reason for doing this study is to establish a market overview of the polymer sorbent industry by quantifying sales of these materials based on their types and fields of application.

There is also a need to evaluate the current status and future market trends of polymer absorbents and adsorbents from a global standpoint. As use of these products expands, information on regional production, sales, and type of suppliers becomes more valuable.

An equally important reason for performing this study is to offer a review of the fabrication processes used for manufacturing these products, to identify current technical issues, and to illustrate the latest technological developments and how they will affect market expansion.
