Polyacrylamides Market Overview
Polyacrylamides Market size is forecast to reach US$6.355 billion by 2030, after growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during 2024-2030 due to increasing consumption from water treatment, oil & gas, personal care & cosmetics, and other industries. Polyacrylamide is used in drilling muds, additives for fracking fluid, and enhances oil recovery. In different applications, polyacrylamide acts as an agent such as drag reduction which is estimated to grow the demand for polyacrylamide. Additionally, polyacrylamide is a polyolefin that is used as flocculants or coagulants for municipal and industrial water treatment. Thus, increasing treatment capacity is also estimated to boost the market size. According to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, in China capacity of municipal wastewater treatment increased from 50 billion m3 to 53.2 billion m3, while the wastewater treatment rate increased from approximately 95.76% to over 97% between 2024-2030. Hence, such factors are estimated to propel the polyacrylamide market during the forecast period.
Impact of COVID-19:
COVID-19 has brought
effects on many aspects, like massive slowing of the supply chain, falling
business confidence, and uncertainty about the future. Due to lockdown, the
market is negatively impacted because of material supplements, production,
transportation, and other aspects. These aspects are continuous in Q2 2021,
which is limit the consumption of polyacrylamide.

Polyacrylamides Market Segment Analysis – By Type
Cationic held the largest share of the global polyacrylamide market in 2023. Cationic is effective
before the sludge into the filter press sludge dewatering as it contains
moisture below 80%. Cationic in acidic or alkaline medium with the negative
charge of the sewage in the sewage flocculation. Textile printing and dyeing
wastewater required a negative charge of water treatment flocculants or
coagulants with cationic polyacrylamide. Cationic polyacrylamide paper
enhancement agent is a kind of containing carbamoyl radicals of water-soluble
which may very effective to improve the paper strength. Hence, increasing usage
of cationic polyacrylamide is estimated to boost the polyacrylamide market.
Polyacrylamides Market Segment Analysis – By Form
Polyacrylamides Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry
Water treatment dominated the global polyacrylamide market in 2023 and growing at a CAGR of 6.9% in 2024-2030. Polyacrylamide or polyolefin is used for sewage treatment as a solid/liquid separator in municipal water treatment. Also, it containes a low level of oil thus it is used as a flocculants or coagulants in water treatment and sludge dewatering. Hence, increasing investment for sewage treatment is estimated to increase demand for polyacrylamide. According to the Environment Protection Agency of America, the Nation’s wastewater footprint includes over 800,000 miles of public sewers and 500,000 miles of private lateral sewers in the region, the investment in the pharmaceutical sector increasing the demand for wastewater treatment processes in the healthcare sector which, in turn, increasing demand for the polyacrylamide market.
Polyacrylamides Market Segment Analysis – By Geography
Asia Pacific dominated the global polyacrylamides market with 37% share in 2023 due to increasing construction activities in Asian countries such as Indian, China, and others. Also, increasing demand for polyacrylamide to enhance the oil recovery from the oil & gas industry. Polyacrylamide is used as a flocculants or coagulants in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment, as a viscosity modifier in mining, as a drag reducer in other industries. Hence, increasing development activities in the Asia Pacific region is estimated to grow the market size.
Polyacrylamides Market Drivers
Growing Demand from Oil & Gas Industry
Polyacrylamide is a polyolefin that is used for is oil & gas extraction and exploration and enhanced oil recovery. When water is injected into the well, polyacrylamide assists in pushing oil locked in reservoirs towards the pump by increasing the viscosity of that water. Thus, the increasing oil & gas industry is estimated to grow the demand for polyacrylamide. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the oil and gas industry is expected to attract US$ 25 billion investments in exploration and production by 2022. The total natural gas production is projected to contribute 30% and more than 75% in Canada & Mexico, respectively by 2040 by Energy Shale Gas Production. Hence, such factors are expected to grow the market size.
Increasing Consumption of Anionic Polyacrylamide
Anionic is a liner water-soluble polyacrylamide which is used as a soil conditioner on farmland and construction sites for erosion control. Anionic polyacrylamide is used to reduce sediment and nutrient loads to natural lakes and ponds. Thus, widely useful for wastewater treatment and drinking water treatment. Therefore, industrial effluents such as tanneries, metal finishing, and others are required anionic treatment. Furthermore, anionic polyacrylamide can be used as a cytoplasm additive and flocculants or coagulants in the paper industry with better retention and drainage effect, in the petroleum industry as oilfield mud additives, and in the coal industry as a coal-washing additive. Hence, increasing demand for anionic polyacrylamide is estimated to grow the market size soon.
Polyacrylamides Market Challenges
Volatility in Raw Material Prices
Prices of polyacrylamide rely directly on the cost of the raw materials, including acrylic acid and acrylonitrile, derived from crude oil. Additionally, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), crude oil prices decreased by US$ 49.89 per barrel in 2022 compared to US$ 66.31 per barrel in 2023. The fluctuation of crude oil prices may hamper the market growth.
