by The global Polyacrylamide Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 5.86 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Polyacrylamide is a water-soluble polymer that offers advantages like thickening, water absorption, and retention in various applications. It finds widespread usage in flocculation and clarification processes in wastewater treatment. Other major applications of polyacrylamide include oil and gas extraction, mining, paper manufacturing and soil conditioning among others. It helps in clarifying and thickening liquids and suspending solids in various industrial processes.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends driving the polyacrylamide market growth is its increasing usage in wastewater treatment processes. With growing industrialization and urbanization, wastewater volumes are rising globally. Polyacrylamide acts as an effective coagulant and flocculant agent in clarifying and dewatering industrial and municipal wastewater. It facilitates the removal of suspended solids, organic matter, heavy metals and other harmful pollutants from wastewater. This increases the reuse and recycling of treated water. Rising environmental regulations regarding wastewater discharge are further propelling the adoption of polyacrylamide in wastewater treatment applications.
