What is Polyacrylamide?

Polyacrylamide, or PAM is a synthetic, potassium-based long-chain homopolymer. It is synthesized by the polymerization of acrylamide, a high-molecular weight and water-soluble polymer. PAM is widely used as a thickening agent, binder and flocculating agent. Polyacrylamide's numerous properties make it useful in a wide range of applications such as mineral processing, coating, printing, and dyeing, chemical, bio-medical, among others.

Segment Analysis

By Product Type

The market is bifurcated into unreinforced non-ionic (NPAM), cationic (CPAM), anionic (APAM), and others. The anionic PAM (APAM) segment captured more than half of the market share in 2021 and is likely to remain the largest segment in the foreseen future. The versatile properties of APAM make it highly popular in wastewater treatment industries.

The demand for recycling wastewater and treating sewage is increasing in fast-growing urban cities around the world, which is expected to have a positive impact on the demand for APAM over the assessment period.

By Application Type

The market is segmented as water treatment, petroleum, paper making, and others. The petroleum segment is expected to remain the dominant application type during 2022-2028. The growth of the segment is due to governments' investments in energy projects to meet the rising energy demands.

Furthermore, increasing automobile sales are expected to drive petroleum consumption in the coming years, which will ultimately accelerate the polyacrylamide market growth over the assessment period.
