Below are some of the ways in which polyacrylamide is being increasingly used:
- In the automotive industry, it is being used in light weighting and insulation materials.
- It is also used as a coating on metal screens to enlarge their area and prevent dust from entering the factories.
- In the medical field, it can be employed in wound dressing materials, artificial joints, and surgical meshes.
- And lastly, it can be used as a surface treatment for glass and ceramics.
One factor driving the demand for the global polyacrylamide market is its increased use in medical applications. Polyacrylamide is used in the production of surgical tools, catheters, and other medical equipment. The increased demand for these products has led to an increase in the demand for polyacrylamide.
Another factor contributing to the demand for polyacrylamide is the trend toward environmental sustainability. Polyacrylamide is a highly sustainable material due to its recyclable nature. This makes it a desirable material for industries that are looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
Overall, the increasing demand for polyacrylamide is attributable to its versatility and low price. The growing use of polyacrylamide in medical applications and its environmentally friendly properties are major factors driving the global polyacrylamide market demand.
Today, polyacrylamide is one of the most common synthetic polymers. The material is used in a wide range of applications including as a water-resistant coating for various materials and as an adhesive in shoes & other footwear. Despite its widespread use, the demand for the product has been sluggish in recent years. Several reasons for this are on the surface: higher raw material costs, changing consumer preferences, and stricter environmental regulations.
On the other hand, escalating price pressures, increasing environmental regulations, and constraints on raw material availability are likely to hamper market growth. In addition, barriers to entry and competition from low-cost alternatives are posing key challenges in the global polyacrylamide market.
The global polyacrylamide market is segmented based on type, application, and region.
By type, the market is categorized into anionic and cationic polyacrylamide. The anionic polyacrylamide is holding over 70% of the global polyacrylamide market. In the past, anionic polyacrylamide flocculants have been used primarily in water treatment applications. However, due to increasing demand for these products in other industries, such as pulp and paper production, there is now growing interest in using this flocculant in these applications too.
One reason why anionic polyacrylamide flocculants are gaining popularity is that they are relatively easy to use. Unlike some other flocculants, such as alginates, which require high concentrations to achieve effective results, anionic polyacrylamide flocculants can be diluted easily. This makes them suitable for use in a wide range of applications.
By application, the global market is divided into water treatment, oil & gas, and paper-making.
North America is dominating the global polyacrylamide market, but much of the demand is being driven by Asia Pacific, specifically China, which represents nearly 12% of global PA production. India is also an important player in the global PA market, as it has developed some of the world's most modern laboratories for the synthesis and characterization of PA materials. One potential challenge for companies seeking to capitalize on the growing demand for PA is competition from other alternative materials such as graphene and boron nitride.
Polyacrylamide (PAM), used in water treatment and paper mills, is growing in demand in Asia Pacific and Europe. The Asia Pacific polyacrylamide market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 8% over the next decade. Polyacrylamide is strong and non-toxic, making it a versatile material for various applications.
In Asia Pacific, water treatment plants are increasingly using more polyacrylamide to treat water with increased bacterial counts. It has replaced alum in these plants because it is less corrosive and does not produce a yellowish tinge to the water as alum does. Paper mills are also using more PA in increasing quantities to make paper with higher strength and less weight. Japan is the largest consumer of PA with a consumption of over 45,000 metric tons per year. The increased demand for PAM is due to rising environmental concerns and stringent regulations on pollution levels.
Europe is the third largest polyacrylamide market with over 16% of the supply coming from Europe in the global supply chain.
