Market Insights

Future growth potential of the water-soluble polymers market depends on factors such rising applications of natural and mixed polymers in the food processing and pharmaceutical industries, supportive environmental regulations, and water pricing trends. In addition, the growing demand for natural water-soluble polymers and polyacrylamide (synthetic) water-soluble polymers is projected to augment market growth during the forecast period. In different industries, casein, gelatin, pectin, guar gum and xanthan gum are used as natural water-soluble polymers.

Due to higher gelatinization and molecular weight, natural water-soluble polymers are used in consumer products like coatings and inks, paper, adhesives, cosmetics and personal care products. The demand for natural water-soluble polymers for these consumers is highest. Polyacrylamide base water-soluble polymers are effective in drag reduction performance in industries such as oil and gas and wastewater treatment due to their high molecular weight. Drag reduction efficiency is known to be closely associated with flow conditions and the rheological, physical and/or chemical characteristics of the polymers added.

A breakdown of product lifecycle for water-soluble polymers by geography shows an interesting trend. In the U.S. and Canada, the water-soluble polymers market has already reached its maturity phase due to the lack water treatment facilities expansion, decreased government spending and a saturation of industry level applications. On the other hand, the water-soluble polymers market in Mexico is in a growth phase due to rising demands for water treatment caused by increases in the price of clean water, supportive environmental regulations and the expansion of industrial water and wastewater treatment projects.

Emulsion water-soluble polymer producers find it tough to penetrate the North American market due to higher awareness among stakeholders and the dominance of powder and solution water-soluble polymers. In North America, food processing is expected to remain the largest industrial end user for water-soluble polymers. In Europe, market growth in France, Italy, Belgium and the U.K. looks unimpressive due to a slump in manufacturing sector, economic volatility and maturity of the water treatment chemicals sector.

Factors such as steady economic growth, growth in mining sectors and government investments in water treatment projects are expected to drive the growth of water-soluble polymers market in Germany and Scandinavia. Due to greater knowledge among stakeholders regarding water-soluble polymers and water treatment infrastructure and greater preference for natural water-soluble polymers, applications of synthetic and mixed water-soluble polymer is pretty low in the European market. In terms of volume, in Europe, manufacturing (including food and beverages, pharmaceutical, personal care, water treatment, textile and paper, petroleum and mining industries) is expected to remain the largest industrial end user for water-soluble polymers.
