The global water soluble polymer market size is expected to reach USD 39,477 Million by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period, 2021-2028. 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.
The report on the global water soluble polymer market includes an assessment of the market, trends, segments and regional markets. Overview and dynamics have also been included in the report.

Based on types, the market is divided into polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, guar gum, gelatin, xanthan gum, polyacrylic acid, polyethylene glycol, and others. The guar gum segment is projected to account for a considerable market share during the forecast period owing to its increasing usage in the treatment of constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. India is the leading producer of guar gum and accounts for approximately 81% of the global market share.
Based on applications, the market is segregated as water treatment, food and beverage, personal care and hygiene, oil & gas, pulp & paper, pharmaceutical, and others. The water treatment industry segment is projected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period owing to the growing need for pure water for industrial and household purposes. The investment opportunities in the water treatment industry are expected to increase to USD 130 billion by 2030.
Based on regions, the market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa. Rising growth in the personal care, food & beverages, and pharmaceuticals sectors in emerging countries such as China, India, and Indonesia is driving the market growth in Asia Pacific.
