The global Polyacrylamide market size is predicted to grow from US$ 6511 million in 2025 to US$ 8918 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2025 to 2031.
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a water-soluble polymer formed from acrylamide subunits. It is known for its ability to enhance the viscosity of water, facilitate flocculation, and modify fluid flow characteristics. The polymer exists in various forms, including anionic, cationic, non-ionic, and amphoteric polyacrylamide, each designed for specific applications.
Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM): This variant is primarily used in wastewater treatment, enhanced oil recovery, and paper manufacturing due to its superior flocculating capabilities. It helps in the aggregation of suspended particles, thereby improving solid-liquid separation.
Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM): This type is widely utilized in sludge dewatering, municipal wastewater treatment, and in the paper and textile industries. CPAM works effectively in acidic conditions and aids in the reduction of sludge volume.
Non-Ionic Polyacrylamide (NPAM): With no charge in its molecular structure, NPAM is suitable for applications where ion interaction must be minimized. It is commonly used in mining, textile processing, and water treatment.
Amphoteric Polyacrylamide: Containing both anionic and cationic groups, this type of PAM is used in complex wastewater treatment processes and in cases requiring adaptive flocculation performance.
PAM is synthesized through free radical polymerization of acrylamide monomers, often with additional functional groups incorporated to tailor its properties. The polymer's primary applications leverage its water absorption, thickening, and coagulating properties, making it indispensable across various industries.
The polyacrylamide market is expected to continue growing, driven by increasing demand in water treatment, energy, and industrial sectors. Manufacturers are focusing on sustainable formulations, reducing environmental impact, and improving product efficiency. Research into biodegradable and non-toxic alternatives to traditional polyacrylamide is ongoing, which may lead to new product developments in the coming years.
With growing awareness of environmental pollution, governments worldwide have introduced stringent regulations on industrial wastewater discharge. Polyacrylamide, particularly its anionic and cationic variants, is increasingly used in wastewater treatment plants to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
The enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process in the oil and gas sector heavily relies on polyacrylamide to improve the viscosity of water injected into reservoirs, thereby boosting crude oil extraction efficiency. The demand for PAM is expected to rise with increasing global energy requirements.
Polyacrylamide is used as a retention aid, drainage aid, and flocculant in paper manufacturing. The expansion of e-commerce and packaging industries has fueled the demand for paper products, thereby driving the need for PAM.
In agriculture, PAM is used as a soil conditioner to prevent erosion, enhance water retention, and improve seed germination rates. The need for sustainable agricultural practices has increased PAM adoption in farming applications.
The mining industry utilizes polyacrylamide for solid-liquid separation, tailings management, and mineral processing. With the global increase in mineral extraction activities, the demand for PAM continues to rise.
