Segmentation

On the basis of raw material, the market is segregated into synthetic, natural, and semisynthetic. In terms of region, the global market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa. Based on application, the market is classified into food processing, water treatment, papermaking, detergent, petroleum, and others. Water treatment was responsible for most of the share in 2020 due to the increasing demand for sewage treatment. Rising waste generation from several manufacturing corporations intensifies the demand for water management procedures, consequently fuelling the market growth.

Drivers and Restraints

Innovative Synthesis Technique Permits the Expansion of Thermally Steady Polymer

The conservative soluble polymer's heat resistance is insufficient for current executions that demand robust thermal steadiness during processing under harsh conditions. For example, in October 2020, a group of scientists based in the U.S. and Japan publicized their research on water-soluble polymers manufactured from fresh amino acids that can repel high heat and temperatures.

Polymers with exceptionally high heat steadiness, such as polyimides, on the other hand, contain lesser water solubility. The examination study's emphasis was to exhibit how to design a molecular building block that encourages high water-solubility in polyimides that too without terminating the polymer support, which is a pioneering method for polymer engineering.

Polyimides with extraordinarily great water solubility are manufactured, and treated polymers have exceptional thermomechanical and optical characteristics, as per the conclusions of the experimentations. The synthesized polymers are resources with widespread operations in biomedical materials, electronics, special adhesives, specific coatings, and paints. These factors are likely to promote the water soluble polymer market growth during the forecast period.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific region held the maximum water soluble polymer market share and is anticipated to be navigated by increasing demand from the sewage water management industry. The municipal and industrialized wastewater treatment segment is projected to inflate, owing to increasing environmental apprehensions and funds from private and administrative investors to avoid environmental destruction.

North America is anticipated to observe substantial growth owing to growing demand from the oil & gas industry. The rising demand for water soluble polymers in the oil & gas industry mostly for well completion, drilling, production and improved oil recovery course.

Europe is estimated to display a noteworthy growth rate during the forecast period. The region’s growth is credited with increasing demand from the detergent and personnel care product industry. Profitable liquid washing cleaners and liquefied dishwashing goods make usage of water soluble polymers as additives.

Competitive Landscape

Novel Product Launch as Vital Business Approach by Important Players to Spur Growth
