The acrylamide market is witnessing an increasing demand for convenience foods, driving this industry's growth. Convenience foods are pre-packaged and ready-to-eat or ready-to-cook meals that provide quick and easy solutions for busy lifestyles. These foods are popular among consumers due to their convenience, time-saving nature, and ease of preparation. One of the main factors contributing to the demand for convenience foods is the changing consumer behavior and lifestyle patterns. With the fast-paced modern lifestyle, people have limited cooking and food preparation time. Convenience foods offer a convenient alternative, allowing individuals to quickly and easily satisfy their hunger without spending much time preparing meals.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the demand for convenience foods. With lockdowns, work-from-home arrangements, and restrictions on dining out, consumers have turned to convenient meal options that can be easily prepared at home. This factor drives the Market CAGR.
Additionally, the demand for acrylamide in India is driven by strong economic growth, population growth, and rapid urbanization, which have led to increased drinking water consumption and wastewater generation. With the expansion of cities and the need for domestic water supply, the volume of wastewater generated in the country is rising. According to estimates by the Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO), approximately 70-80% of the total water supplied for domestic use in India is generated as wastewater.
Furthermore, the increasing use of acrylamide monomers in various sectors such as gel electrophoresis, ore processing, tertiary oil refining, and dyes and plastics synthesis contributes to the demand for acrylamide. Particularly, using acrylamide monomers in synthesizing polyacrylamide, widely used in wastewater treatment operations, is a key driver for the market. Developed countries, driven by stringent environmental regulations, increasingly adopt polyacrylamide in wastewater treatment processes. This trend is expected to fuel significant growth in the acrylamide market in the coming years.Thus, driving the Acrylamide market revenue.
Based on Application, the Acrylamide market segmentation includes Water & Wastewater Treatment, Enhanced Oil Recovery, Cosmetics, Paper Manufacturing, Chemical Intermediate, and Textiles. The water & wastewater treatment segment dominated the market; water and wastewater treatment is a critical process in various industries, including municipal, industrial, and commercial sectors. Acrylamide is commonly used as a flocculant in water and wastewater treatment processes. It aids in the removal of impurities, suspended particles, and organic matter, thereby improving water quality and making it safe for various applications.Furthermore, the expansion of industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverages has contributed to the dominance of the water and wastewater treatment segment.
