市場力学：

促進要因

新しい合成法別可能になった熱的に安定なポリマー開発

新しいアミノ酸を使用して、高温に耐えられる水溶性ポリマーを作ったり、厳しい条件下での加工後に大きな熱安定性が求められる現代のアプリケーションでは、従来の水溶性ポリマーの耐熱性はまだ不十分です。一方、ポリアミドのような熱安定性が非常に高いプラスチックは、水溶性がほとんどないです。本研究の目的は、ポリイミドの骨格を壊さずに高い水溶性を誘導する、プラスチック工学のための新しい方法で分子ビルディングブロックを作成する方法を示すことでした。試験の結果、極めて高い水溶性を有するポリアミドが創製され、加工されたポリマーは優れた熱機械特性や光学特性を有していました。

抑制要因

ポリアクリルアミドポリマーの制約事項

ポリアクリルアミド系ポリマーは、土壌の種類に依存するため、様々な現場で大量に購入したり、余った材料を別の現場で使用することはできません。使用前に現場ごとに試験を行う必要があり、試験終了までに日数がかかる場合があります。使用量が多くなると、土壌が窒息し、浸透が低下する可能性があります。細かいシルトや粘土を含まない純粋な砂や砂利の上や、雪の上に置いても効果がないです。水域への流入や水への直接散布は禁止されています。湿った土に塗ると効果があるが、乾燥した土や湿った土に塗ると効果がないです。水溶性高分子の種類によって、毒性・発がん性のレベルが異なります。環境に最も安全な水溶性ポリマーの商品のみを利用すべきです。したがって、上記のすべての要因が市場の成長を妨げています。

機会

成長する石油・ガス産業

石油・ガス事業、特に上流・中流部門では、水溶性ポリマーが広く使用されています。掘削、坑井完成、セメント注入、石油・ガス井の生産、迂回剤の使用、坑井刺激、堆積物形成の管理、石油および石油汚染システムの処理に採用されています。石油会社は、最大生産量を達成し、急増するエネルギー需要に対応するため、主に化学的に強化された石油回収と水圧破砕プロセスに頼っています。粘土の膨潤防止剤、泥水の流体損失制御剤、レオロジー調整剤、固体懸濁剤、高温・高圧用途は、これらのポリマーの優れた掘削における用途のほんの一例であり、市場の成長を後押ししています。

脅威

合成水溶性ポリマーが環境に与える影響

高分子量ポリアクリルアミドは、廃水処理における凝集剤、石油回収率向上における粘度調整剤として頻繁に使用されています。過剰使用や不適切な管理は、地域の水源を汚染し、その地域の植物や動物に害を与えるかもしれません。また、高分子ポリマーは環境へのダメージが少ないです。しかし、その過程で、高分子ポリマーは特に厳しい機械的、化学的、熱的環境にさらされることになります。このため、高分子材料は劣化・崩壊し、物理的・化学的性質が変化し、市場全体の成長を阻害します。

COVID-19の影響：

様々な最終用途分野の成長とサプライチェーンの混乱は、COVID-19の流行によって大きな影響を受けています。コロナウイルスの流行が続いているため、プラスチックの使用を制限する政府の厳しい法律が、市場に悪影響を及ぼす可能性があります。環境と健康の保護は世界的に重要視されています。その結果、政府機関が定める要件を遵守することは、効果的な廃水および水処理プロセスにとって極めて重要です。さらに、水処理分野では、疫病の流行時に清潔で安全な水資源が必要とされたため、急激な増加を経験しました。

予測期間中、天然素材分野が最大となる見込み

天然水溶性ポリマーは、パッケージ商品において多くの機能を持ち、通常は控えめな使用量であるため、天然セグメントは有利な成長を遂げると推定されます。多くの秘伝のソースでは、水溶性ポリマーが重要な成分となっています。水溶性ポリマーは、サラダドレッシングでは安定剤として働き、油と水の混合物の分離を防ぐ。アイスクリームでは氷の結晶の成長を防ぎ、チョコレートミルクではココアパウダーの懸濁状態を維持します。WSPはグミに特徴的な食感を与え、クリームチーズにとろみをつけ、グリーンオリーブのピメントストリップを束ねます。

予測期間中、水処理分野のCAGRが最も高くなると予想されています。

水処理分野は、予測期間中に最も高いCAGRを記録すると予想されています。排水処理のニーズが高まっているため、水処理分野が市場の大部分を占めています。様々な産業事業から排出される廃液が水処理の必要性を高め、市場の拡大を後押ししています。米国、英国、中国、ドイツにおける生態系への関心の高まりから、厳しい環境規制が業界の発展に寄与します。廃水の排出や飲料水の品質を管理する環境規制は、合成ポリマーの需要を増加させる可能性があります。

最もシェアの高い地域

アジア太平洋地域は、予測期間中、最も高い市場シェアを占めると予測されます。これは、廃水処理分野での需要の高まりが、アジア太平洋地域の主な促進要因になると予測されるためです。環境問題への関心の高まりと、生態系への害を最小限に抑えるための商業および政府関係者の支出により、自治体および産業界の廃水処理産業は成長すると思われます。中国では、水溶性ポリマーが大量に生産・消費されています。予測期間中、廃水処理産業は成長すると予想されるため、廃水処理における一般的な凝集・凝固剤であるポリアクリルアミドなどのポリマーの需要が地域的に増加する可能性があります。

CAGRが最も高い地域：

北米は、石油・ガス産業からの需要の増加により、予測期間中に最も高いCAGRを示すと予測されます。石油・ガス業界では、掘削、坑道掘削、生産、油回収技術などの活動により、これらの材料に対するニーズが高まっています。石油回収技術は、米国におけるフラッキング技術の進歩に伴い、石油・ガス採掘作業において大きな役割を果たすと予想され、地域の市場拡大に拍車をかけています。石油・ガス業界からの需要の高まりは、石油回収技術に使用される他の注入液よりもカスタマイズ性が高いため、市場拡大の原動力となると予測されています。

Thermally stable polymer development made possible by new synthesis method

New amino acids are used to create water-soluble polymers that can withstand high temperatures or contemporary applications that require significant thermal stability after processing under difficult conditions, the heat resistance of conventional soluble polymers is still insufficient. On the other side, plastics with very high heat stability, such polyamides, have little water solubility. The goal of the research work was to show how a molecular building block may be created in a novel way for plastic engineering that induces high water solubility in polyimides without damaging the backbone. According to the results of the tests, polyamides with extraordinarily high water solubility are created, and processed polymers have outstanding thermo mechanical and optical characteristics.\

Restraint:

Involved limitations of polyacrylamide polymers

These materials are soil type-specific, thus a contractor cannot purchase in bulk for various sites or use leftover material at another site. It requires site-specific testing before use, which might take many days to finish. Increased usage may choke soils, reducing infiltration. When applied on pure sand or gravel that doesn't include any fine silts or clays, as well as when placed on top of snow, it is ineffective. Neither is permitted to neither enter a water body nor be applied directly to water. Although it works when applied to wet soil, it is less effective when applied to dry or moist soil. Different water soluble polymers have different levels of toxicity and carcinogenicity. Only the water soluble polymer goods that are the safest for the environment should be utilised. Hence, all the above factors hinder the growth of the market.

Opportunity:

Growing oil & gas industry

In the oil and gas business, especially in the upstream and midstream sectors, water-soluble polymers are widely used. It is employed in drilling, well completion, cementing, the production of oil and gas wells, the use of diverting agents, well stimulation, the management of deposit formation, and the treatment of oil and oil-contaminated systems. Oil companies mainly rely on chemically enhanced oil recovery and hydraulic fracturing processes to reach maximum production levels and meet escalating energy demand. Clay anti-swelling agent, fluid-loss control agent for mud, rheology modifier, solid suspending agent, and high temperature/pressure applications are just a few of the uses for these polymers in good drilling which drives the growth of the market.

Threat:

Effects of synthetic water-soluble polymers on the environment

High molecular weight polyacrylamide is frequently used as a flocculant in the treatment of wastewater and as a viscosity modifier in improved oil recovery. Overuse and poor management might contaminate the area's water supplies, harming the flora and animals of the area. High molecular weight polymers are also less damaging to the environment. However, during the process, these polymers are subjected to a particularly severe mechanical, chemical, and thermal environment. Due to this reason, high molecular weight materials deteriorate and disintegrate, changing their physical and chemical properties and impeding total market growth.

COVID-19 Impact:

The growth and supply chain disruptions of various end-use sectors have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to the continuing coronavirus epidemic, strict government laws limiting the use of plastic may have a detrimental impact on the market. Protection of the environment and human health are valued globally. As a result, adhering to the requirements set by the government entities is crucial for effective wastewater and water treatment processes. Additionally, the water treatment sector experienced a sharp increase due to the necessity for clean and safe water resources during the epidemic.

The natural segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The natural segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due the natural water soluble polymers have a number of functions in packaged goods, usually at modest levels of use. In many secret sauces, they are the key ingredient. Water soluble polymers act as stabilisers in salad dressings, preventing the separation of oil and water mixes. It prevents the growth of ice crystals in ice cream, and they maintain the suspension of cocoa powder in chocolate milk. WSPs give gummies their characteristic texture, thicken cream cheese, bind pimento strips in green olives, and thicken cream cheese.

The water treatment segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The water treatment segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period; due to the increasing need for effluent treatment, water treatment made up the lion's share of the market. Growing effluent production from various industrial businesses increases the need for water treatment, which propels market expansion. Strict environmental regulations will help the industry develop as a result of rising ecological concerns in the US, UK, China, and Germany. Environmental rules governing the discharge of wastewater and the quality of drinking water may increase demand for synthetic polymers.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share during the forecast period owing to rising demand from the wastewater treatment sector is anticipated to be the main driver in the Asia Pacific area. Due to growing environmental concerns and expenditures from commercial and governmental players to minimise ecological harm, the municipal and industrial wastewater treatment industry will grow. Water soluble polymers are produced and consumed in large quantities in China. As the wastewater treatment industry is anticipated to grow throughout the projection period, there will likely be an increase in regional demand for polymers like polyacrylamide, a common flocculating and coagulating agent in wastewater treatment.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the increased demand from the oil and gas industry. The oil and gas industry's growing need for these materials is primarily driven by activities including drilling, well completion, production, and improved oil recovery. The enhanced oil recovery technique is anticipated to play a large role in oil and gas extraction operations as the U.S. continues to advance fracking technologies, fueling regional market expansion. Growing demand from the oil & gas industry is projected to fuel market expansion since these polymers provide higher customizability than other injection fluids used in improved oil recovery.
