Market Overview:
The global water soluble polymer market reached a value of US$ 33.77 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach a value of US$ 45.88 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.10% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use industries. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
Water soluble polymers are organic substances that dissolve, disperse or swell in water and alter the physical properties of the aqueous system in the form of gelation, thickening, or emulsification. They are used in cleaning applications with heavy soil loads, hard water, and moderate temperatures. Apart from this, they are utilized as dispersants, suspending agents, thickeners, stabilizers, coagulants, flocculants, film-formers, binders, humectants, and lubricants in aqueous media. As a result, water soluble polymers find applications in water treatment, food and beverage (F&B), personal care, oil and gas, pulp and paper, and pharmaceutical industries across the globe.
Water Soluble Polymer Market Trends:
Presently, there is a rise in the utilization of water soluble polymers in water treatment plants to remove suspended solids or contaminants from the water. This, along with the growing demand for water soluble polymers in the oil and gas industry for cementing, fracturing, acidizing, controlling water production, preventing sand production, and clay stabilization represent one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is an increase in the employment of water soluble polymers as additives to improve the performance of water-based fluids in proppant transport and loss of fluid in the formation. This, coupled with the rising application of water soluble polymers in well drilling, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, key market vendors are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to develop water-based emulsion polymers from biological resources for a clean environment. They are also focusing on synthesizing water soluble polymers from amino acids that can resist high temperatures, which is positively influencing the market. Besides this, the increasing employment of water soluble polymers in the pharmaceutical industry to dissolve drugs, which are not soluble in water and reduce blood viscosity, is bolstering the growth of the market.
