Global Anionic Polyacrylamide for Water Treatment Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Anionic Polyacrylamide for Water Treatment market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1828 million in 2025 to US$ 2629 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2031.

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a water-soluble polymer formed from acrylamide subunits. It is known for its ability to enhance the viscosity of water, facilitate flocculation, and modify fluid flow characteristics. The polymer exists in various forms, including anionic, cationic, non-ionic, and amphoteric polyacrylamide, each designed for specific applications.

Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM): This variant is primarily used in wastewater treatment, enhanced oil recovery, and paper manufacturing due to its superior flocculating capabilities. It helps in the aggregation of suspended particles, thereby improving solid-liquid separation.

PAM is synthesized through free radical polymerization of acrylamide monomers, often with additional functional groups incorporated to tailor its properties. The polymer's primary applications leverage its water absorption, thickening, and coagulating properties, making it indispensable across various industries.

Polyacrylamide plays the role of flocculant, precipitant and filter in water treatment, and can effectively remove pollutants such as suspended solids, turbidity, organic matter and heavy metals in water. As the global water shortage and environmental pollution problems become increasingly prominent, the demand for water treatment market will continue to grow, providing opportunities for the polyacrylamide industry.

The main functions of polyacrylamide in water treatment are as follows:

① Reduce the amount of flocculant. On the premise of achieving the same water quality, PAM can be used in combination with other inorganic flocculants to greatly reduce the amount of flocculant used.

② Improve water quality. In drinking water treatment and industrial wastewater treatment, PAM can be used in combination with inorganic flocculants to significantly improve the effluent water quality.

③ Improve floc strength and sedimentation rate. PAM has high floc strength and good sedimentation performance, thereby increasing the solid-liquid separation rate and facilitating sludge dehydration.

④ Anti-corrosion and anti-scaling of circulating cooling systems. PAM can greatly reduce the amount of inorganic flocculants, thereby avoiding the deposition of inorganic substances on the surface of the equipment and slowing down the corrosion and scaling of the equipment.

The polyacrylamide market is expected to continue growing, driven by increasing demand in water treatment. Manufacturers are focusing on sustainable formulations, reducing environmental impact, and improving product efficiency. Research into biodegradable and non-toxic alternatives to traditional polyacrylamide is ongoing, which may lead to new product developments in the coming years.

With growing awareness of environmental pollution, governments worldwide have introduced stringent regulations on industrial wastewater discharge. Polyacrylamide, particularly its anionic variants, is increasingly used in wastewater treatment plants to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
