The global market for Synthetic Water-soluble Polymers was valued at US$ 1946 million in the year 2024 and is projected to reach a revised size of US$ 2831 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.
Synthetic water-soluble polymers are macromolecular compounds that are artificially synthesized and have the property of being soluble in water. These polymers are composed of repeating monomer units that are linked together through various chemical reactions, such as addition polymerization or condensation polymerization. The hydrophilic nature of these polymers, which allows them to interact with water molecules, is often attributed to the presence of functional groups like hydroxyl (-OH), carboxyl (-COOH), sulfonic acid (-SO₃H), or amine (-NH₂) groups in their molecular structure. Synthetic water-soluble polymers find wide applications in many fields, including the pharmaceutical industry for drug delivery systems, the food industry as thickeners and stabilizers, the cosmetics industry for texture modification, and the wastewater treatment industry for flocculation and sludge dewatering. They can also be used in the oil and gas industry for enhanced oil recovery and drilling fluid formulation due to their ability to control viscosity and improve fluid properties.
