Track Acrylamide Price Trend Historical and Forecast
Executive Summary
The global Acrylamide market has entered a period of moderated but complex price behavior shaped by shifting supply fundamentals, fluctuating feedstock acrylonitrile costs, evolving procurement strategies, and unpredictable international trade flows. Across major regions-North America, Asia-Pacific (APAC), and Europe-Acrylamide prices in 2024-2025 have reflected a mix of seasonal buying patterns, cost-side pressures, inventory rebuilding, logistics recalibration, and variable downstream demand, especially within the municipal and industrial water treatment sectors.
During the most recent quarter ending September 2025, all major markets experienced quarter-on-quarter declines. North America registered a 6.8% fall in its Acrylamide Price Index due to heavy Asian arrivals and subdued demand. APAC saw a 3.58% decline amid supply recovery and softer export enquiry. Europe recorded a 6.45% drop due to higher availability and weaker export momentum.

Earlier quarters exhibited varied directions driven by seasonal procurement, regulatory-driven water treatment demand, infrastructure spending, upstream price volatility, and global freight uncertainties. While APAC maintained stable-to-bullish fundamentals in early 2025 due to infrastructure-linked consumption, North America and Europe saw intermittent firming and softening through the year based on freight disruptions, energy costs, and inventory cycles.
Looking ahead, Acrylamide prices across regions are expected to remain range-bound, with moderate volatility driven by energy, freight, and feedstock cost movements; shifting export allocations; and restocking cycles among utilities and industrial buyers. Procurement teams should expect continued sensitivity to changes in acrylonitrile costs, ocean freight premiums, and cross-regional trade dynamics-especially China's export posture and Europe's evolving production stability.
Introduction
Acrylamide, an essential chemical used extensively in water treatment applications for the production of polyacrylamide flocculants, has seen pronounced price swings over the past several quarters due to its exposure to volatile raw material markets, logistics disruptions, and cyclical procurement patterns. As wastewater treatment demand grows globally-driven by environmental regulations, infrastructure investments, and increased wastewater generation-the sensitivity of Acrylamide prices to supply chain shifts has intensified.
This PR-style article consolidates the latest trends in Acrylamide pricing, analyzing regional market drivers and quarterly developments across North America, APAC, and Europe. It explores cost structures, supply conditions, logistics factors, and trade-flow disruptions while providing a forward-looking forecast and procurement outlook. A historical review from Q4 2024 to Q3 2025 is also included, offering a complete picture of price behavior.
Global Acrylamide Price Overview
Across Q4 2024 to Q3 2025, global Acrylamide prices represented a balance between fluctuating demand from the water treatment sector, varying feedstock acrylonitrile costs, and operational dynamics across major producing hubs. Several common themes characterized global pricing:
Water Treatment Demand Remained the Primary Anchor
Municipal utilities across the U.S., Europe, and Asia continued to support baseline demand, driven by regulatory mandates, infrastructure upgrades, and seasonal rainfall-related turbidity spikes.
Acrylonitrile Trends Significantly Influenced Costs
As the primary feedstock, acrylonitrile's periodic easing in 2025 lowered production costs in APAC and Europe, while earlier spikes in Q1 2025 kept costs elevated.
Freight and Logistics Remained Volatile
Trans-Pacific freight premiums, European inland freight normalization, port efficiency in China, and vessel availability influenced landed costs and spot price movements.
Procurement Behavior Shifted Toward Shorter Cycles
With heightened price volatility and fluctuating inventories, buyers delayed larger orders, especially in APAC and Europe.
Export Flows Shaped Regional Price Balance
China and South Korea's export momentum exerted downward pressure on global prices, especially in North America and Europe.
These global forces shaped the quarterly developments detailed below.

Regional Analysis
North America
Q3 2025 (Quarter Ending September 2025)
The North American Acrylamide market experienced a 6.8% quarter-over-quarter decline in the Acrylamide Price Index, settling around USD 1317/MT. Key drivers included:
Supply and Logistics
A surge in Asian export arrivals from China and Korea increased available tonnage and reduced seller leverage.
Improved vessel capacity eased some logistical constraints; however, persistent trans-Pacific freight surcharges prevented deeper cost declines.
Inventories rose to three weeks of cover, strengthening sellers' positions despite weaker demand.
Demand Conditions
Domestic demand softened sharply after summer procurement cycles.
Utilities had largely secured their seasonal requirements, reducing incremental spot activity.
Industrial consumption remained limited, keeping spot prices under pressure.
Cost Trends
The Acrylamide Production Cost Trend declined modestly as Northeast Asian acrylonitrile prices eased.
Energy and transport expenses, however, continued to constrain margins.
Why Prices Changed in September 2025
Increased Asian arrivals pressured CFR valuations.
