Water Soluble Polymers: Water soluble polymers are a class of polymers, which dissolves, disperse or swell in

water and modifies the physical properties of the system undergoing gelation, thickening and emulsification, etc.

Water soluble polymers acts as super absorbents, surfactants and are used in various end use applications. Various

types of water soluble polymers include polyacrylamides, guar gum and derivatives, cellulose ethers, gelatin and

others including Polyvinyl Alcohols(PVOH), casein & caseinates, polyacrylic acids & copolymers, xanthan gums and

others including polysaccharides, etc.

US Water Soluble Polymers Market Set to Surpass $11 Billion by 2025

According to TechSci Research report, “US Water Soluble Polymers Market By Type, By End Use Application, CompetitionForecast & Opportunities, 2011-2025, water soluble polymers market is forecast to cross US$11billion mark by 2025.Continuously growing pharmaceutical industry, increasing demand for water soluble polymers in oil and gas extractionactivities, food & beverages, personal care and cosmetics sector are expected to boost the demand for water soluble polymersin the United States. This growth in the water soluble polymers market can be attributed to strong emphasis on increasingneed for wastewater treatment activities and wide use of major types of these polymers in pulp and paper making industries.Strict environment regulations and various applications in number of end use industries are expected to escalate the demandfor water soluble polymers in the United States through 2025. The major producers of the different types of water solublepolymers in the United States includes Ashland Inc., SNF Holding Co., Kemira Chemicals, Inc. and E.I. Du Pont De Nemours &Co.

Polyacrylamides hold the largest share of application in water soluble polymers market and is expected to continue holding thelargest share in the market during the forecast period, 2016-2025 on account of continuously growing need for wastewatertreatment in the region. United States municipal wastewater treatment market stood at US$7.11 billion in 2013, and valued ataround US$7.93 billion in 2015, exhibiting growth at a CAGR of 5.61% during 2013-2015. Moreover, increase in the applicationsof guar gum and its derivatives in the oil & gas industry and further use as natural additives in the food industry are expectedto grow on account of boom in shale gas extraction in the region and continuous growth in food & beverages sector. Moreover,cellulose ether applications are expected to experience progress majorly because of growth in the country’s pharmaceuticalsector and increasing use of cosmetics and personal care products. United States pharmaceutical market, which stood atUS$380 billion in 2015 is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.60% over the next six years to reach US$527 billion by 2021.

“US water soluble polymers market is dominated by South East region due to increase in the number of industrial andmunicipal wastewater treatment plants, and continuous growth in the region’s shale gas recovery with demand propellingfrom currently existing petrochemical industries in the region. However, over the forecast period, South West region isprojected to exhibit the fastest growth in the United States water soluble polymers market. Recent advances in the shale gasevolution are promoting drilling activities in the region, which would result in augmented demand for water soluble polymerslike polyacrylamides and guar gum across the region.” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, aresearch based global management consulting firm.
