In Central & South America, healthcare spending is expected to rise gradually in the coming years. Several initiatives are being undertaken by the governments in the region to improve public healthcare systems amid budget constraints. This is expected to drive the Super Absorbent Polymer Market over the forecast period.

According to the Director of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) for South America, Central & South America was one of the most affected regions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, after Europe and North America. Central & South America hosted about 10 million migrants during the increasing risk of coronavirus, boosting the need for medical appliances in the region.

The rise in Omicron variant coronavirus-positive cases in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and others has propelled the demand for Super Absorbent Polymer components such as masks, bioreactor bags, shoe covers, gloves, and containers in the region. This, in turn, is positively influencing the demand for super absorbent polymer in the application segment.
