Water Soluble Polymers Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry

The water treatment segment held the largest share in the water soluble polymers market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during 2021-2026. Groundwater and surface water contain both dissolved and suspended particles and water soluble polymers such as quaternary ammonium compounds, polyacrylamide, polyacrylic acid, hydroxyethylcellulose, and tetrachloroethylene are used to separate the portion of the suspended solids from the water. Water soluble polymers are often used as flocculants to promote the clumping of destabilized particles, which are obtained after being treated with coagulants. The water soluble polymers-based coagulants neutralize the charge on colloidal particles responsible for keeping them apart. These substances cause colloids and other suspended particles to agglomerate and fall out of the liquid, promoting flocculation. Thus, water-soluble polymer flocculants are important constituents of solid-liquid separation units, for the treatment of process?affected effluents, owing to which water soluble polymers are being extensively utilized in the water treatment sector.

Water Soluble Polymers Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

Asia-Pacific region held the largest share in the water soluble polymers market in 2020 up to 33.6%, owing to the increasing water treatment activities, which is accelerating the demand for water soluble polymers such as quaternary ammonium compounds, polyacrylamide, polyacrylic acid, hydroxyethylcellulose, and tetrachloroethylene in the region. Asia-Pacific governments are also striving to expand water reuse. For example, Suwon City, Korea will build a wastewater treatment facility by 2025 to purify 325,000m3 of wastewater per day and supply industrial water to companies in Suwon and nearby. According to NITI Aayog, by 2030, India’s water demand is projected to be twice the available supply. According to research by the Ministry of Water Resources’ National Commission for Integrated Water Resource Development, the water needs in a high-use scenario by 2050 are anticipated to be a milder 1,180 BCM, whereas current availability is 695 BCM. According to Singapore’s National Water Agency, by 2060, Singapore’s total water demand could almost double, with the non-domestic sector accounting for about 70%. And to meet this increasing future water demand, it is anticipated that water treatment will bolster in Asia-Pacific countries, propelling the water soluble polymers industry in the Asia-Pacific region.
