A wide range of applications across the wastewater treatment and petroleum sector will have a positive impact on polyacrylamide consumption over the coming years. Polyacrylamide is essentially a long-chain polymer that has a relatively high molecular weight and is known to be a water-soluble polymer. It exhibits properties like water retention, high viscosity as well as drag reduction capabilities that encourage its use in various applications, especially in environmental systems.
Polyacrylamide is extensively used as a flocculant at concentrations for drinking water treatment as it is capable of creating a bridge between the destabilized particles, which form micro-size aggregates, and is armed with good settling properties. Polymer treatment has facilitated much faster segregation of both solids and liquids and meets the requirements of the regulations imposed by local authorities.
A spurt in the rate of urbanization over the past years has induced agricultural and industrial pollution storming up the city waters and creating extreme health as well as pollution problems. Wastewater full of high organic waste from over 80% of industrial units is discharged into rivers or sewage networks. World Bank has been holding several projects to improve the wastewater treatment across the world.

Through a project in Gaza, it has helped to improve the sanitation services to about 64,012 households that are located near the area the project is being executed. It had also provided these services to 52,000 more people living in the surrounding communities in 2017.
Significant investments to bolster the water treatment capabilities of communities will tremendously fuel polyacrylamide market size, as shortage of clean water is being realized as one of the major concerns enveloping most developing nations.
Increased investment in polyacrylamide production
There have been significant investments in the development and production capacity for polyacrylamides by manufacturers. The increase in the demand for the product to be used in wastewater treatment, enhanced oil recovery or even at construction sites in order to reduce erosions, had led SNF to invest about $1.2 billion over the span of three years to boost the production of polyacrylamides.
The company has increased the production capacity of power-grade polyacrylamide by adding 75,000 metric tons every year. This capacity is supposed to be spread in several regions which will help offer easy access to the product.
SNF has been aiming to expand the polyacrylamide production capacity up to 1 million metric tons every year in the U.S by the end of 2020. This shall render a positive impact over U.S. polyacrylamide industry share in the near future.

High demand in the oil recovery applications
A high MW anionic polyacrylamide is the most extensively used polymer in the enhanced oil recovery. The use of the polymer is capable of accelerating oil recovery by 5-30% and in a few cases, even up to 80%. The surfactant solutions can easily increase the mobility of the trapped oil as it tends to reduce the surface tension as well as raises rock wettability as the polymer works on oil recovery based on the viscosity.
The deputy prime minister of Oman for International Relations and Cooperation Affairs had recently inaugurated the first polyacrylamide manufacturing plant in the country. The factory is owned by ZL Ltd Co. to facilitate an improved oil recovery through polyacrylamide production and needed investment of US$20 million. Similar efforts across the Middle-East to boost polymer manufacturing could bolster the regional polyacrylamide market.
Majority of the multinational companies working in the industry are increasing their production capacity to suffice the rapidly growing polyacrylamide demand across the globe. For instance, BASF SE expanded its polyacrylamide powder production capacity of Nanjing, China plant by 20 kilo tons in 2019. Other major multinational companies operating in polyacrylamide industry are Kemira, Solvay, Shuiheng, Envitech Chemical, Solenis, Mitsubishi Rayon, PetroChina, King Union Group, Shadong Polymer Biochemicals, SNF Floerger Group, Yixing Bluwat Chemicals, Anhui Jucheng Fine Chemicals and Xitao Polymer.
