Report Description
Water Soluble Polymer Market Outlook 2031
The Water Soluble Polymer Market size was USD 32.35 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 50.62 Blliion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing demand for water soluble polymers from water treatment units. Moreover, growing shale gas industry due to enhanced oil recovery is driving the market growth.
Water-soluble polymers are polymers that easily gets dissolved in water and modify physical properties of the aqueous system in order to perform specific functions such as cleaning, strengthening, and thickening. These polymers are actively used in water treatments systems, paper making, detergents, and other household products. Casein, PVA, and polyacrylamide are some example of water-based polymers.
There are two types of water-soluble polymers, namely, natural water-soluble polymers and synthetic water-soluble polymers. Guar gum, gelatin, xanthan gum, and pectin are some of the naturally occurring water-soluble polymers.
