Region | Price (USD/Kg) | Latest Movement |
---|---|---|
Northeast Asia | 1.94 | 0.8% ↑ Up |
Europe | 2.45 | -3.8%↓ Down |
North America | 1.93 | 2.3%↑ Up |
Northeast Asia: Demand from wastewater treatment and industrial water reuse projects in China and Korea continued to support consumption as governments press forward with infrastructure and environmental upgrades. On the supply side, feedstock costs remained relatively firm, and occasional plant maintenance or seasonal slowdowns constrained output. Logistics and inland transportation in China, including handling, rail freight, and internal port distribution, added to cost pressure, especially in more remote production hubs. Overall, price stability with a modest upward bias characterized the region.
Europe: The decline reflected weakening downstream demand from sectors such as pulp and paper, mining, and municipal water projects, which showed signs of delaying or scaling back procurement. On the supply side, some producers were operating with higher inventory levels, pushing them to offer discounts to maintain throughput. Energy cost volatility and increases in electricity and natural gas tariffs in parts of Europe increased production cost burdens, but these were offset by softer demand. Additionally, logistics and cross‑border transport became less favorable with occasional congestion and rising inter‑EU freight charges. Stricter environmental regulations in certain European countries slowed project approvals, adding another dampening effect on demand.
North America: The uptick is driven by a rebound in industrial demand, particularly in water treatment, mining, and oil and gas sectors. Infrastructure funding and municipal wastewater projects contributed to consistent procurement. On the supply side, domestic producers faced modest cost increases from feedstock monomers and higher inland logistics in certain regions. Port handling and export freight premiums also tightened as some US producers sought overseas markets. Additionally, the US dollar’s relative strength allowed some exporters to maintain margins even under cost pressure. Tightness in spot availability in some US basins pushed buyers to accept higher pricing to secure supply.

The global polyacrylamide industry size reached USD 5.79 Billion in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 9.22 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 5.04% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the rising demand for advanced flocculants in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, increased use in enhanced oil recovery, stricter environmental discharge regulations globally, expansion of mining and mineral processing, and continued investments in water infrastructure in emerging economies.
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a synthetic water‑soluble polymer (–CH₂CHCONH₂–)_n that exists in linear chain form, commonly supplied as powder, liquid, or emulsion. It is classified as a high molecular weight polymer and holds a central position in global chemical consumption due to its versatile role as a flocculant or coagulant. Its key attribute is its ability to link fine suspended particles in aqueous media, enhancing aggregation and sedimentation. In industrial use, PAM is widely applied in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment to clarify water, in mining for solid-liquid separation, in enhanced oil recovery (as a viscosity modifier), in pulp and paper for retention and drainage, and in agriculture for soil stabilization and erosion control.
