Acrylamide is an organic and odorless chemical that is available in liquid and crystalline forms. Acrylamide is soluble in water and in various organic solvents. It is a precursor to polyacrylamides that have several applications as water-soluble thickeners and flocculation agents.
The India’s acrylamide market is rapidly growing due to an increase in demand for water and wastewater treatment, a rising need for enhanced oil recovery, and the rise in the application of acrylamide in various end-use industries. According to Financial Express, India’s water demand will exceed supply by two times by 2030, indicating severe water scarcity in India. The water shortage for residential and industrial use is expected to increase the demand for water treatment, thus driving the demand for acrylamide. The growing chemicals & materials industry in India is also boosting the growth of the market.
Strong economic growth, rising population, and rapid urbanization in India led to rising drinking water consumption and wastewater generation. The increasing demand for water and wastewater treatment is driving the demand for acrylamide. With the rapid expansion of cities and domestic water supply, the quantity of wastewater is rising in the country. As per the estimate from the Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organisation (CPHEEO), ~70-80% of total water supplied for domestic use is generated as wastewater.
Based on product type, the market is bifurcated into acrylamide water solutions and acrylamide crystals. In 2020, the acrylamide crystal segment was the fastest-growing segment in the market. Acrylamide crystals have various applications and are used as a flocculant, blocking agent, textile treatment agent, and water treatment agent.
Ashland Global Holding Inc.; SNF; Kemira OYJ; BASF SE; EMCO Dyestuff; Mitsui Chemicals Global, Pvt. Ltd.; Ineos AG; Solvay; Nuoer Group; and Black Rose Industries Ltd.; are among the key players operating in the market. The leading players adopt several strategies, such as mergers & acquisitions and product launches, to expand their geographic presence and consumer base.
