Polyacrylamide Market Analysis

The Polyacrylamide Market size is estimated at 2.17 Million tons in 2024, and is expected to reach 2.84 Million tons by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.45% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

In 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic, on a global scale, forced water treatment, pulp and paper, oil and gas, and mining industries to shut down their operations, lowering the demand for polyacrylamide. The pandemic impacted almost every aspect of these industries, from product demand to workforce development to accelerating or decelerating trends already underway when it struck. Customers and their temporary production stops reduced production levels, and demand reductions significantly impacted production processes. However, the condition is expected to recover, restoring the growth trajectory of the market during the latter half of the forecast period.

In the medium term, the growing utilization in the oil and gas industry for enhanced oil recovery and the increasing need for polyacrylamide as a flocculant in the water treatment industry are expected to drive demand.
Health concerns caused by exposure to acrylamide monomer is expected to hinder the market's growth.
The emerging application of polyacrylamide in the biomedical industry and the development of bio-based polyacrylamide are expected to offer lucrative opportunities to the market.
Asia-Pacific accounted for the highest market share, and the region will likely dominate the market during the forecast period.

Polyacrylamide Market Size Summary

The polyacrylamide market is poised for significant growth over the forecast period, driven by its increasing application in various industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, and mining. The polymer's ability to enhance oil recovery and act as a flocculant in water treatment processes makes it a valuable resource in these sectors. Despite the initial setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which temporarily reduced demand across key industries, the market is expected to recover and continue its upward trajectory. The Asia-Pacific region, particularly China and India, is anticipated to maintain its dominance in the market due to rising water treatment activities and industrial growth. The development of bio-based polyacrylamide and its emerging applications in the biomedical field present additional opportunities for market expansion.

The market landscape is characterized by a high level of consolidation, with major players like SNF Group, BASF SE, Kemira, Solenis, and Solvay holding significant market shares. These companies are actively pursuing strategic initiatives to enhance their market positions, such as Kemira's production of bio-based polyacrylamide and Solenis's acquisition of SCL GmbH to support its global growth plan. The increasing global demand for water treatment solutions, coupled with regulatory pressures and sustainability initiatives, is expected to drive the market forward. As the world grapples with water scarcity and the need for efficient water management solutions, polyacrylamide's role as a cost-effective and efficient flocculant is likely to become even more critical, further bolstering its market prospects.
