Acrylamide Market Analysis

The Acrylamide Market size is estimated at 3.5 Million tons in 2024, and is expected to reach 4.43 Million tons by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.81% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the market negatively in 2020. Owing to the pandemic, several countries worldwide witnessed lockdowns to help curb the spread of the virus. This completely disrupted the supply and demand chain, which negatively affected the market. The market later recovered and began growing at a significant rate.

The market is expected to grow in the short term because of the growing demand for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes, which use a lot of polyacrylamides. In the long run, the market may grow because of strict European water regulations, which use a lot of acrylamide in water treatment.
However, acrylamide is obtained through interactions with heated meals and cigarette smoke. The unfavorable health impacts of this exposure are projected to be a significant hurdle for the worldwide acrylamide industry.
Growing investments in water treatment in countries like China are expected to create immense opportunities for market growth.
Asia-Pacific accounted for a significant market share, followed by North America and Europe.

Acrylamide Industry Segmentation

Nitrile hydratase's hydrolysis of acrylonitrile results in the chemical compound known as acrylamide. Acrylamide is most commonly employed in industrial operations to produce polyacrylamides, which are water-soluble thickeners. Polyacrylamide accounts for approximately 90% of acrylamide's overall consumption. It is present in cigarette smoke. Acrylamide is formed during the heating of carbohydrates.

The acrylamide market is segmented by application and geography. By application, the market is segmented into flocculants for water treatment, enhanced oil recovery, pulp and paper manufacturing, and other applications (soil conditioning, ore processing, etc.). The report also offers market sizes and forecasts for 27 countries across major regions. For each segment, market sizing and forecasts were done on the basis of volume (tons).

Acrylamide Market Size Summary

The acrylamide market is poised for growth, driven by increasing demand in various industrial applications. This linear polymer, known for its flocculation properties, is extensively used in wastewater treatment, particularly in enhancing sedimentation and water removal processes. The market's recovery post-COVID-19 disruptions is attributed to the rising need for enhanced oil recovery processes and stringent water treatment regulations, especially in Europe. The Asia-Pacific region, led by China, is expected to see significant market activity due to rising disposable incomes and substantial investments in water treatment infrastructure. The region's focus on improving wastewater management and the construction of extensive sewage collection networks are key factors contributing to the market's expansion.

Despite the positive growth trajectory, the acrylamide market faces challenges due to health concerns associated with its exposure through heated foods and cigarette smoke. These concerns could hinder market growth, although the demand for acrylamide in water treatment and industrial applications remains robust. The market is characterized by a few dominant players, including SNF Group, CNPC, BASF SE, and Mitsui Chemical Inc., who hold significant market shares. Recent developments, such as the production of biocatalysts for acrylamide production and advancements in acrylamide-reducing technologies, indicate ongoing innovation and adaptation within the industry. These factors collectively suggest a promising outlook for the acrylamide market over the forecast period.
