수용성 폴리머 시장 예측(-2028년) - 원료별(천연, 합성, 반합성), 용도별(수처리, 식품 가공, 기타 용도) 및 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Water-Soluble Polymer Market is accounted for $38.15 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $58.89 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. Compounds known as water soluble polymers experience a change in their physical characteristics when exposed to aqueous environments. Hydrophilic groups that are replaced for or integrated into the polymer's backbone often make up water soluble polymer chains. It is possible for the hydrophilic groups to be cationic, amphoteric, anionic, or nonionic. Numerous sectors, including those in the food, pharmaceutical, paper, construction, adhesive, water treatment, paint, textiles, and coating, use water soluble polymers.

According to China's wastewater industrials, by 2025, China's industrial wastewater industry will reach around USD 19.4 billion. Moreover, China plans to invest USD 50 billion into several heavily polluting industries, including textile, printing, steel production, oil and gas extraction, coal mining, and pharmaceutical production

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Thermally stable polymer development made possible by new synthesis method

New amino acids are used to create water-soluble polymers that can withstand high temperatures or contemporary applications that require significant thermal stability after processing under difficult conditions, the heat resistance of conventional soluble polymers is still insufficient. On the other side, plastics with very high heat stability, such polyamides, have little water solubility. The goal of the research work was to show how a molecular building block may be created in a novel way for plastic engineering that induces high water solubility in polyimides without damaging the backbone. According to the results of the tests, polyamides with extraordinarily high water solubility are created, and processed polymers have outstanding thermo mechanical and optical characteristics.\

Restraint:

Involved limitations of polyacrylamide polymers

These materials are soil type-specific, thus a contractor cannot purchase in bulk for various sites or use leftover material at another site. It requires site-specific testing before use, which might take many days to finish. Increased usage may choke soils, reducing infiltration. When applied on pure sand or gravel that doesn't include any fine silts or clays, as well as when placed on top of snow, it is ineffective. Neither is permitted to neither enter a water body nor be applied directly to water. Although it works when applied to wet soil, it is less effective when applied to dry or moist soil. Different water soluble polymers have different levels of toxicity and carcinogenicity. Only the water soluble polymer goods that are the safest for the environment should be utilised. Hence, all the above factors hinder the growth of the market.

Opportunity:

Growing oil & gas industry

In the oil and gas business, especially in the upstream and midstream sectors, water-soluble polymers are widely used. It is employed in drilling, well completion, cementing, the production of oil and gas wells, the use of diverting agents, well stimulation, the management of deposit formation, and the treatment of oil and oil-contaminated systems. Oil companies mainly rely on chemically enhanced oil recovery and hydraulic fracturing processes to reach maximum production levels and meet escalating energy demand. Clay anti-swelling agent, fluid-loss control agent for mud, rheology modifier, solid suspending agent, and high temperature/pressure applications are just a few of the uses for these polymers in good drilling which drives the growth of the market.

Threat:

Effects of synthetic water-soluble polymers on the environment

High molecular weight polyacrylamide is frequently used as a flocculant in the treatment of wastewater and as a viscosity modifier in improved oil recovery. Overuse and poor management might contaminate the area's water supplies, harming the flora and animals of the area. High molecular weight polymers are also less damaging to the environment. However, during the process, these polymers are subjected to a particularly severe mechanical, chemical, and thermal environment. Due to this reason, high molecular weight materials deteriorate and disintegrate, changing their physical and chemical properties and impeding total market growth.

COVID-19 Impact:

The growth and supply chain disruptions of various end-use sectors have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to the continuing coronavirus epidemic, strict government laws limiting the use of plastic may have a detrimental impact on the market. Protection of the environment and human health are valued globally. As a result, adhering to the requirements set by the government entities is crucial for effective wastewater and water treatment processes. Additionally, the water treatment sector experienced a sharp increase due to the necessity for clean and safe water resources during the epidemic.

The natural segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The natural segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due the natural water soluble polymers have a number of functions in packaged goods, usually at modest levels of use. In many secret sauces, they are the key ingredient. Water soluble polymers act as stabilisers in salad dressings, preventing the separation of oil and water mixes. It prevents the growth of ice crystals in ice cream, and they maintain the suspension of cocoa powder in chocolate milk. WSPs give gummies their characteristic texture, thicken cream cheese, bind pimento strips in green olives, and thicken cream cheese.

The water treatment segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The water treatment segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period; due to the increasing need for effluent treatment, water treatment made up the lion's share of the market. Growing effluent production from various industrial businesses increases the need for water treatment, which propels market expansion. Strict environmental regulations will help the industry develop as a result of rising ecological concerns in the US, UK, China, and Germany. Environmental rules governing the discharge of wastewater and the quality of drinking water may increase demand for synthetic polymers.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share during the forecast period owing to rising demand from the wastewater treatment sector is anticipated to be the main driver in the Asia Pacific area. Due to growing environmental concerns and expenditures from commercial and governmental players to minimise ecological harm, the municipal and industrial wastewater treatment industry will grow. Water soluble polymers are produced and consumed in large quantities in China. As the wastewater treatment industry is anticipated to grow throughout the projection period, there will likely be an increase in regional demand for polymers like polyacrylamide, a common flocculating and coagulating agent in wastewater treatment.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the increased demand from the oil and gas industry. The oil and gas industry's growing need for these materials is primarily driven by activities including drilling, well completion, production, and improved oil recovery. The enhanced oil recovery technique is anticipated to play a large role in oil and gas extraction operations as the U.S. continues to advance fracking technologies, fueling regional market expansion. Growing demand from the oil & gas industry is projected to fuel market expansion since these polymers provide higher customizability than other injection fluids used in improved oil recovery.
