Market Overview
The global polyacrylamides market is expected to increase by USD 1.4 billion, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% from 2023 to 2028, according to the latest edition of the Global Polyacrylamides Market Report. Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a highly versatile water-soluble polymer that is derived from acrylamide and possesses the ability to undergo cross-linking with ease.
PAM finds extensive utilization in variindustries, with notable applications in the oilfield sector. In the realm of oil drilling, PAM serves as a crucial polymer, aiding in the drilling process as well as in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques. Its water-soluble nature allows it to effectively control the viscosity of drilling fluids, thereby enhancing the efficiency of drilling operations. Additionally, PAM's ability to improve oil recovery by altering the properties of reservoir rocks makes it an invaluable asset in the EOR process.
Water treatment, both in industrial and domestic settings, represents another significant area where PAM plays a prominent role. As a flocculant, PAM facilitates the aggregation of suspended particles in water, allowing for their easy removal through sedimentation or filtration. This property makes PAM an indispensable component in the purification of water, ensuring its suitability for variapplications.

The pulp and paper industry also benefits greatly from the use of PAM. As a flocculant and sizing agent, PAM aids in the separation of solid impurities from pulp, resulting in improved paper quality. Moreover, PAM's sizing properties contribute to the control of ink absorption, enhancing the printability and overall appearance of paper products.
In addition to these major applications, PAM finds niche utilization in variother fields. For instance, in irrigation systems, PAM assists in improving water infiltration and retention in soil, thereby enhancing crop yield and water efficiency. Furthermore, PAM's cross-linked form is employed in the manufacturing of contact lenses, where its water-absorbing properties ensure comfort and moisture retention for the wearer.

By product, the global polyacrylamides market has been segmented into anionic polyacrylamide (APAM), cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), and nonionic polyacrylamide (NPAM). In 2022, the CPAM segment made up the largest share of revenue generated by the polyacrylamides market. CPAM is a type of polyacrylamide that carries a positive charge. It is widely used in variindustries due to its unique properties and versatile applications. CPAM finds extensive utilization in water treatment processes, where it aids in the removal of contaminants and impurities from wastewater. Its positive charge enables it to effectively bind with negatively charged particles, facilitating the formation of larger flocs that can be easily separated from the water.
Moreover, CPAM also finds applications in the paper and pulp industry, where it acts as a retention aid, improving the retention of fine particles during the papermaking process. This enhances the overall quality and strength of the paper produced. Additionally, CPAM is utilized in the mining industry for the separation and dewatering of mineral slurries, as well as in the oil and gas sector for enhanced oil recovery.
The dominance of the CPAM segment in terms of revenue can be attributed to its widespread adoption across multiple industries and its effectiveness in variapplications. The demand for CPAM is driven by the growing need for efficient water treatment solutions, stringent environmental regulations, and the continuexpansion of industries such as paper and pulp, mining, and oil and gas.
Based upon form, the global polyacrylamides market is categorized into emulsion, liquid, and powder. Among these forms, the powder segment was the largest contributor to the global polyacrylamides market in 2022. In terms of cost-effectiveness, powder forms are generally considered the most economical option, followed by emulsions. This is because powders can be easily stored, transported, and have a longer shelf life compared to liquid or emulsion forms.
The global polyacrylamides market has been categorized into varisegments based on the end user, including mining, oilfield, pulp and paper, water treatment, and others. Among these segments, the water treatment sector is projected to hold the largest share in the global polyacrylamides market.
Water treatment plays a crucial role in maintaining the quality and safety of water for variapplications, such as drinking, industrial processes, and wastewater treatment. Polyacrylamides, with their unique properties, have gained significant traction in the water treatment industry. They are widely used as flocculants and coagulants to remove suspended particles, organic matter, and other impurities from water.
The increasing global population, rapid industrialization, and growing environmental concerns have led to a surge in the demand for effective water treatment solutions. As a result, the water treatment segment is witnessing substantial growth, driving the demand for polyacrylamides.
Furthermore, the stringent regulations imposed by governments and environmental agencies regarding water quality and pollution control have further propelled the adoption of polyacrylamides in water treatment processes. These regulations necessitate the use of efficient and sustainable solutions to treat water, making polyacrylamides an ideal choice due to their effectiveness and eco-friendly nature.
The global polyacrylamides market has been divided into several geographical segments, namely North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, MEA (Middle East and Africa), and South America. Among these regions, Asia-Pacific emerged as the dominant player in the global polyacrylamides market in 2022 and is expected to maintain its leading position throughout the forecast period.
The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing rapid growth and is considered one of the fastest-growing regions in the world. This growth can be attributed to the emergence of countries such as India, China, and Indonesia, which are expected to drive the market forward.
