In the oil and gas business, especially in the upstream and midstream segments, 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. 

Technological Advances: Ongoing research has enabled new and effective water treatment technologies. Besides, the technological advances might help expand the potential use of water soluble polymers and make them cost-effective.

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 corporate and governmental parties to stop ecological harm, the municipal and industrial wastewater treatment industry will increase. Water-soluble polymers are produced and consumed in large quantities in China. Given that the wastewater treatment sector is anticipated to grow over the course of the forecast period, there will likely be an increase in the demand for polymers like polyacrylamide in the region. Polyacrylamide is a common flocculating and coagulating agent in wastewater treatment.
