Polyacrylamide Price Trend Analysis | 2026 Market Intelligence
WHAT IS POLYACRYLAMIDE
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a high-molecular-weight synthetic polymer formed from acrylamide subunits. It is widely utilized as a flocculant and thickener in various industrial processes due to its ability to facilitate solid-liquid separation.
Production Process
The manufacturing process involves the polymerization of acrylamide monomers, often initiated by free radicals in an aqueous solution. In 2025, the industry saw significant supply-side adjustments as China's acrylic acid capacity increased to 4.4 million tons. The cost structure for 2026 is heavily dictated by vinyl cyanide (acrylonitrile) prices, which are projected to fluctuate between 7,000 and 10,000 RMB/ton, providing a more stable baseline for manufacturers compared to previous periods of volatility.

Industrial Applications
Water Treatment: Dominant application accounting for a 38.22% market share in 2025.
Oil & Gas: Fastest-growing segment with a CAGR exceeding 7.1% for EOR and water management.
Mining: Used in tailings management and solid-liquid separation to optimize resources.
Paper & Textiles: Functions as a sizing agent and retention aid in fiber processing.
CURRENT MARKET TREND ANALYSIS (2024-2026)
The market currently reflects a transition from oversupply to disciplined growth. In 2025, cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) prices in China showed an annual decrease of 2.99%, ending the year at 13,000 RMB/ton. This downward trend was primarily driven by a 20.43% drop in vinyl cyanide feedstock costs. However, heading into 2026, the market is expected to witness seasonal oscillation driven by restocking activities and feedstock pass-through. Global market value is expected to grow from 6.19 billion USD in 2025 to 6.79 billion USD in 2026.
