The global acrylamide market size was valued at USD 3,743.9 million in 2023. The market is expected to grow from USD 3,902.7 million in 2024 to USD 5,539.8 million by 2032 at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.

Acrylamide, synthesized from acrylonitrile, is pivotal in polyacrylamide production for diverse applications: oil refining, paper stabilization, and water purification. Increasing demand for textiles and growth in the paper industry, especially in developing nations undergoing rapid urbanization, such as India, Indonesia, South Africa, Poland, and China, drives the expansion of market.   

Key industries such as textiles and construction faced significant production delays and reduced sales due to global lockdowns and supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This also impacted related sectors such as chemicals, including acrylamide, which saw decreased demand for the product during this period.
