The chemical industry is dynamic, as shown by changing/dynamic trends within the acrylamide market over recent years. For instance, there has been a growing demand for Acrylamide, which spans from water treatment to polymer production. In this light, when used as a flocculating agent that removes impurities from drinking water and wastewater sources, soluble monomer acrylamides are very important. The market for Acrylamide has gained momentum in the last few years owing to its increased use in polymer production; in addition to other industries, it finds applications in agriculture and mining, among others. Therefore, polyacrylamides need to be synthesized firstly by heating acrylamides with sulfuric acid while adding an organic solvent such as ether into a reaction vessel with a reflux condenser fitted on top to drive out hydrogen chloride gas produced during the reaction, resulting in a solid residue that should be washed with distilled water before drying overnight under vacuum over phosphorus pentoxide where data obtained showed a yield of 68%. Moreover, polyacrylamide receives increasing demands from enhanced oil recovery operations (EOR) due to its superior properties towards crude oil extraction and thus appears to have an upward trend. Additionally, these polymers are applicable in agriculture as soil conditioners or stabilizers of soil structure, which helps increase crop yields through better infiltration rates as well as less erosion; the flocculants paper manufacturing process aids in improving drainage time since less water retained contributes better retention capacity, therefore, maintaining desired consistency mining industry including mineral separation processes where presence slurries would otherwise cause problems filtration or thickening stages respectively.
Regulatory and environmental changes are also influencing market trends in the acrylamide field. Scientists have examined it for a long time because of its potential hazard to human health and environment. Consequently, regulatory bodies worldwide have introduced more stringent guidelines on acrylamide use and disposal, thereby making industries switch to other alternatives. Generally, acrylamide market trends vary across different regions. This is evident in the emerging market in the Asia-Pacific region that has witnessed tremendous industrialization and urbanization. Countries such as China and India, with large populations and increasing levels of industrial activity, are among those where demand for Acrylamide continues to rise due to these factors. However, developed world countries are currently experiencing a shift towards green substitutes, which is leading to changes within their markets.
Moreover, innovation in production methods, as well as technological advancements, influence the dynamics of acrylamide markets. Manufacturers spend much money on research and development so that they can produce more efficient ways of producing acrylamides while reducing their negative effects on the environment at the same time. The goal is, therefore, to develop novel low-cost procedures for the synthesis of acrylic acid monomers with sustainable supply chains throughout their life cycles, which will enable continuous growth rate but also offer eco-friendly approaches traditional production techniques could not offer.
Acrylamide Market Size was valued at USD 3.64 Billion in 2023. The Acrylamide industry is projected to grow from USD 3.79 Billion in 2023 to USD 4.98 billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.49% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Rapid industrial development globally drives the demand for the product, demand from enhanced oil recovery, and increasing demand for convenience foods. These key drivers play a crucial role in enhancing market growth.Source: Secondary Research, Primary Research, MRFR Database, and Analyst Review
The acrylamide market is witnessing an increasing demand for convenience foods, driving this industry's growth. Convenience foods are pre-packaged and ready-to-eat or ready-to-cook meals that provide quick and easy solutions for busy lifestyles. These foods are popular among consumers due to their convenience, time-saving nature, and ease of preparation. One of the main factors contributing to the demand for convenience foods is the changing consumer behavior and lifestyle patterns. With the fast-paced modern lifestyle, people have limited cooking and food preparation time. Convenience foods offer a convenient alternative, allowing individuals to quickly and easily satisfy their hunger without spending much time preparing meals.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the demand for convenience foods. With lockdowns, work-from-home arrangements, and restrictions on dining out, consumers have turned to convenient meal options that can be easily prepared at home. This factor drives the Market CAGR.
Additionally, the demand for acrylamide in India is driven by strong economic growth, population growth, and rapid urbanization, which have led to increased drinking water consumption and wastewater generation. With the expansion of cities and the need for domestic water supply, the volume of wastewater generated in the country is rising. According to estimates by the Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO), approximately 70-80% of the total water supplied for domestic use in India is generated as wastewater.
Furthermore, the increasing use of acrylamide monomers in various sectors such as gel electrophoresis, ore processing, tertiary oil refining, and dyes and plastics synthesis contributes to the demand for acrylamide. Particularly, using acrylamide monomers in synthesizing polyacrylamide, widely used in wastewater treatment operations, is a key driver for the market. Developed countries, driven by stringent environmental regulations, increasingly adopt polyacrylamide in wastewater treatment processes. This trend is expected to fuel significant growth in the acrylamide market in the coming years.Thus, driving the Acrylamide market revenue.
Based on Application, the Acrylamide market segmentation includes Water & Wastewater Treatment, Enhanced Oil Recovery, Cosmetics, Paper Manufacturing, Chemical Intermediate, and Textiles. The water & wastewater treatment segment dominated the market; water and wastewater treatment is a critical process in various industries, including municipal, industrial, and commercial sectors. Acrylamide is commonly used as a flocculant in water and wastewater treatment processes. It aids in the removal of impurities, suspended particles, and organic matter, thereby improving water quality and making it safe for various applications.Furthermore, the expansion of industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverages has contributed to the dominance of the water and wastewater treatment segment.
