China's SAP resin market will grow significantly in the next five years.

Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) is a new functional polymer material. Synthetic resins with hydrophoto groups that absorb large amounts of water and dissolve to keep moisture flowing, such as starched branch acrylics, branch acrylamide, high-replacement cross-linked methyl cellulose, cross-linked methyl cellulose stigmy acrylamide Cross-linked hydroxyethyl cellulose branch acrylamide polymer, etc., can generally absorb more than 100 times the volume of resin moisture, the highest water absorption rate of up to 1000 times, generally as medical materials, such as diapers, sanitary napkins, etc. , industrial also used as a leak-blocking material.
Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) is a new type of functional polymer material with superior water absorption and water preservation capabilities, widely used in sanitary products, medical medicine, agriculture, for fork gardening, industrial production, construction and so on. Among them, sanitary products accounted for nearly 90% of SAP consumption. SAP's demand will continue to grow rapidly as China's two-child policy is fully liberalized, the population ages, people's purchasing power increases, and overseas markets expand.
At present, the world's major SAP manufacturers are Ingtrol, Japan Touch Media, BASF, Sumitomo Refining, SDP Global Co., Ltd., the first three companies accounted for more than 50% of the world's total production capacity. China's major SAP manufacturers include Yixing Dansen Technology, Sanya, Noor Biotech, Satellite Technology, Taiwan Plastic Absorbent Resin Company, Yamba Company and so on. However, China's local SAP production enterprises in product industrialization and application research and foreign countries there is still a big gap, high-end products are mainly supplied by foreign enterprises and imported products, products in urgent need of upgrading.
as foreign companies in overseas markets continue to expand their production capacity, domestic companies are also increasing their investment in SAP. In the second half of this year, Wanhua Chemical 30,000 tons / year SAP device smoothly started driving and producing qualified products, satellite technology expansion of 60,000 tons / year SAP will also be put into operation at the end of the year, China's local enterprise SAP capacity expansion will continue to accelerate. At present, including Quanzhou Bonda, Shenghong Sr. and other enterprises are expanding the SAP production line. SAP in China will welcome product and technology upgrades.
"13th Five-Year" period is a key period for The transformation and upgrading of China's petrochemical and chemical industries and into a manufacturing power. In mid-October 2016, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Petrochemical and Chemical Industry Development Plan (2016-2020), which pointed out that China's traditional petrochemical and chemical products are overcapacity, high-end products gap is large. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the market demand for petrochemical and chemical products will continue to grow rapidly, driven by factors such as the steady promotion of new urbanization and consumption upgrading. Demand for high-end petrochemicals and chemicals will grow faster than in traditional industries.
SAP resin as an emerging consumer product downstream of acrylic, accounting for 20% of acrylic consumption in 2015. Unlike most traditional chemical products where downstream demand is saturated and can only sustain low growth, SAP's rapid growth will drive up overall demand for acrylics, helping to digest acrylic production capacity quickly, while vacancies in the high-end market also provide a good direction for acrylic producers.
