Acrylamide is an organic and odorless chemical that is available in liquid and crystalline forms. Acrylamide is soluble in water and various organic solvents. It is a precursor to polyacrylamides that have several applications as water-soluble thickeners and flocculation agents.
In 2020, Asia Pacific dominated the global acrylamide market and is expected to retain its dominance during the forecast period. Japan and China are major manufacturers of acrylamide, accounting for a significant portion of the global installed capacity. The increased government support for wastewater treatment in countries such as India and China, and the growing personal care & cosmetic industry in the region are driving the growth of the market in the Asia Pacific. The personal care industry in the region is growing due to the rising middle-income population, increasing per capita income, improving living standards, and an increase in working women population. Thus, the growing personal care industry has led to increasing demand for acrylamide, as it is widely used as a stabilizer, binder, and thickener in cosmetics & personal care products. Along with this, North America is expected to be the second-fastest-growing region which is due to increase investment in wastewater treatment as well as an increase in demand for acrylamide from the ehanced oil recovery and cosmetics sector. Europe is also expected to witness considerable growth during the forecast period.
Strong economic growth, rising population, and rapid urbanization across the world led to rising drinking water consumption and wastewater generation. Various countries have enforced strict norms against polluting water bodies and the illegal discharge of wastewater. In countries, such as China, which is impacted by air pollution, special laws have been implemented to protect it against the harmful impact of wastewater discharge. Industrial wastewater management has become a crucial concern among the regulatory bodies, as industrial effluents include harmful chemicals, which can lead to health hazards and hamper marine biodiversity. Thus, the increase in demand for wastewater treatment across the world is driving the growth of the market.
Based on product type, the market is bifurcated into acrylamide water solutions and acrylamide crystals. In 2020, the acrylamide crystal segment was the fastest-growing segment in the acrylamide market. Acrylamide crystals have various applications and are used as a flocculant, blocking agent, textile treatment agent, and water treatment agent.
Ashland Global Holding Inc.; SNF; Kemira OYJ; BASF SE; EMCO Dyestuff; Mitsui Chemicals Global, Pvt. Ltd.; Ineos AG; Solvay; Nuoer Group; and Black Rose Industries Ltd.; are among the key players operating in the global market. The leading players adopt several strategies, such as mergers & acquisitions, and product launches, to expand their geographic presence and consumer base.
