India Water-soluble Polymers Market Overview, Trends, Size and Forecast: 2025-2030

India Water-soluble Polymers Market size is valued at around USD 1.32 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1.92 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 7.78% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The market growth is driven by several growth factors, including the current water treatment activities in the country, the regulations set by the Indian government, the sufficient production units to manufacture water-soluble polymers like guar gum, the integration of sustainable alternatives to manufacture eco-friendly polymers, etc.

One of the major growth factors is the growing oil flooding polymer activities, such as Sanand Oil Field (Cambay Basin, Gujarat, ONGC), Jhalora Field (ONGC, Ahmedabad Asset), etc. are using large volumes of water-soluble polymers in India, thus contributing to the market growth & expansion.

Additionally, the widespread extension of the local manufacturing facilities to produce these polymers in the country is offering potential growth opportunities to the market players. Moreover, the rapid adoption of sustainable alternatives, including bio-based polymers, is proactively transforming the market growth trajectory, as these are eco-friendly and reduce environmental pollution, and protect the health of the environment. However, the high production cost, price volatility, and strict government standards are hampering the market growth, further states the research report, “India Water-soluble Polymers Market Analysis, 2025.”

India Water-soluble Polymers Market Segmentation Insights:

Direct Sales Distribution Channel Serving a Large Pool of End-Users

Based on the distribution channel, the market is further segmented into Direct Sales, Distributors/Dealers, Online Retail, Specialty Stores, and Others. Out of these, the direct sales hold the largest market share of more than 67%. These are leading due to the direct and efficient deliveries by the producers to the commercial-scale industrial clients within short durations, without the requirement of any mediator. This builds trust and strong relationships between both parties, and thus is a highly preferred distribution channel in this market.

Moreover, the large-scale projects, like water treatment, oil & gas recovery, and many more, need high quantities of raw materials, including water-soluble polymers, which can be easily delivered by these direct channels without delays, thus leading the distribution channel segment of this market. Some of the major players, like SNF India Pvt. Ltd., BASF India Ltd., and Reliance Industries Ltd., are actively involved in this market.

Polyacrylamide Segment Holds the Largest Market Share

The polyacrylamide is the leading segment, accounting for the largest market share of about 30%. The supremacy is due to the high efficiency and performance of polyacrylamide-based water-soluble polymers as compared to other raw materials like gelatin, casein, guar gum, etc. These have widespread applications that can be used in water desalination activities, industrial waste management, the oil & gas sector, etc. Projects like the National Mission of Clean Ganga are significantly using PAM polymers to ensure the delivery of highly efficient water in India.

Similarly, the oil & gas industry has harsh environmental conditions, such as high salinity, moisture, and high temperature, which are accelerating the demand for highly effective water-soluble polymers, including PAM-based polymers required for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), thus enhancing the market growth and contributing to the leadership of PAM in this market segment. Additionally, Guar Gum is witnessing steady revenue growth due to India being the largest producer and exporter of this polymer globally.

Top Companies in the India Water-soluble Polymers Market
