MarketsGlob Reports Strong Growth and Rising Investments in the Global Market
May 2025 – The global polyacrylamide market reached USD 7,128 million in 2024, according to the latest report by MarketsGlob. The market is expected to grow steadily and reach USD 9,828 million by 2031, showing a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2031.
What is Polyacrylamide?
Polyacrylamide is a synthetic polymer. It is widely used in water treatment, oil recovery, and paper making. Its ability to improve water quality and increase process efficiency makes it important in many industries.
The market includes several types of polyacrylamide, such as:
-
Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM)
-
Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM)
-
Non-Ionic Polyacrylamide (PAMN)
-
Amphoteric Polyacrylamide (PAM-CA)
Why the Market is Growing
One of the biggest reasons for market growth is the rising need for clean water. Governments and industries around the world are investing in water treatment systems. Polyacrylamide helps remove waste and particles from water.
Another reason is the use of PAN-based carbon fibers, made from polyacrylonitrile. These fibers are used in aerospace, automotive, and wind energy sectors. They are strong, light, and perfect for making durable parts.
Polyacrylonitrile is also used in filtration membranes and adsorbents. These are important in air and water purification.
