market share due to rising demand for these products in developing
regions such as Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The others segment
(including surgical pads and healing patches) is also anticipated to
boost demand for medical superabsorbent polymers during the
forecast period. Advanced wound care accounted for more than 35%
share of the global medical superabsorbent polymers market in 2013.
The segment is projected to gain market share in the near future.
Advancement in technologies has made production of superabsorbent
polymer based products feasible on a large scale. Technologies
involved in the manufacture of nonwoven fabrics include airlaid and
other technologies (such as spunbond and meltblown). Demand for
airlaid technology is rising significantly in the market as it offers
benefits such as biodegradability of raw materials, sustainability and
lower price. The others segment is also estimated to expand, due to
