Water Treatment Polymer Market Analysis

 End use (Residential Buildings, Commercial Buildings, Municipality, Industrial)

In water treatment polymers market, industrial segment is projected to dominate revenue share of around 68.4% by the end of 2037. The segment growth can be attributed to the growing adoption of water treatment polymers in various industry sectors such as thermoelectric power plants, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, oil & gas, and petrochemicals for adhesives, oil recovery, and water treatment. The semiconductor industry’s demand for ultrapure water underscores the challenge of water consumption, as creating 1,000 gallons of ultrapure water requires approximately 1,400 to 1,600 gallons of municipal water. An average chip manufacturing facility uses about ten million gallons daily, equivalent to the water consumption of 33,000 US families. With rising wastewater levels, specialized polymers play a crucial role in managing this waste while enhancing performance and efficiency in various applications, making them vital for sustainable semiconductor manufacturing. The demand for treated water for steam generation, cooling towers, and other industrial equipment, including oil and gas treatment for power generation, is expected to increase as power plants focus on enhancing their output.

Product Type (Polyacrylamides, Polyacrylates, Quaternary Ammonium Polymers, Polyamines)

The polyacrylamides segment in water treatment polymers market will garner a notable share in the forecast period. The segment growth is expected to be driven by the growing need for polyacrylamide in drinking water purification facilities, industrial wastewater treatment facilities, and municipal sewage treatment facilities. Additionally, government regulatory agencies in several nations are focusing on the water treatment sector which will expand the segment growth. The potable water treatment sector has made significant use of polyacrylamide's ionic forms. The lengthy polymer chains of polyacrylamide act as a bridge between trivalent metal salts such as ferric and aluminum chlorides.

The flocculation rate is significantly increased as a result. As a result, raw water's total organic content (TOC) can be significantly reduced by water treatment facilities. Polyacrylamide and its derivatives are also frequently used in subsurface applications like enhanced oil recovery. The economics of traditional waterflooding can be improved by injecting high-viscosity aqueous solutions that are produced with low quantities of polyacrylamide polymers.

Application (Preliminary Treatment, Water Treatment, Sludge Treatment)

The water treatment segment is estimated to gain a significant share in water treatment polymers market by 2037. The segment growth can be credited to the growing demand for clean water with the increasing global population. Countries are now aware of the detrimental impacts of pollutants ranging from heavy metals to persistent organic waste. This has led to significant expenditure and attention being paid to lessening the effects of released water on the environment and people. Water treatment polymers work well as flocculants, which combine the contaminants in the water and facilitate purification. Therefore, it is anticipated that the demand for water treatment polymers will increase shortly due to the increased awareness of the use of treated water globally.
