Global Nonionic Polyacrylamide Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Nonionic Polyacrylamide market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1232 million in 2025 to US$ 1668 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% 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.

Nonionic polyacrylamide (NPAM): The molecular structure of NPAM is uncharged and is suitable for applications where ionic interactions must be minimized. Nonionic polyacrylamide is mainly used for flocculation, sedimentation and clarification of various industrial wastewaters, such as paper and pulp wastewater treatment, wastewater treatment in mineral processing and metal smelting processes, wastewater treatment in steel mills and stone processing plants, etc. Nonionic polyacrylamide, because it does not carry ionic functional groups, is less affected by wastewater pH and salt fluctuations than anionic polyacrylamide in flocculation performance. However, under neutral or alkaline conditions, the flocculation effect of nonionic polyacrylamide is not as good as that of anionic polyacrylamide. However, the floc strength of nonionic polyacrylamide is stronger than that of anionic polyacrylamide.

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.

The Nonionic polyacrylamide market is expected to continue growing, driven by increasing demand in water treatment, energy, and industrial sectors. 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 Nonionic variants, is increasingly used in wastewater treatment plants to ensure compliance with environmental standards.

The enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process in the oil and gas sector heavily relies on Nonionic polyacrylamide to improve the viscosity of water injected into reservoirs, thereby boosting crude oil extraction efficiency. The demand for Nonionic PAM is expected to rise with increasing global energy requirements.

Nonionic Polyacrylamide is used as a retention aid, drainage aid, and flocculant in paper manufacturing. The expansion of e-commerce and packaging industries has fueled the demand for paper products, thereby driving the need for Nonionic PAM.

In agriculture, Nonionic PAM is used as a soil conditioner to prevent erosion, enhance water retention, and improve seed germination rates. The need for sustainable agricultural practices has increased Nonionic PAM adoption in farming applications.

The mining industry utilizes Nonionic polyacrylamide for solid-liquid separation, tailings management, and mineral processing. With the global increase in mineral extraction activities, the demand for Nonionic PAM continues to rise.

The global key manufacturers of Nonionic Polyacrylamide include SNF Group, Solenis and Kemira, etc, top 3 manufacturers hold a share approximately 60%. Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America are the major Nonionic Polyacrylamide market, they have a market share of more than 90%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market with a share of 45%.
