Market Insights & Analysis: UAE Water-soluble Polymers Market (2025-30):
The UAE Water-soluble Polymers Market size is valued at around USD 92.2 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 122 million by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 5.77% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30. The UAE Water-soluble Polymers Market is significantly growing due to several growth factors, including the high demand from water desalination and treating activities in the market, the aging oil & gas reservoir infrastructure, the oil recovery from deep oil wells, the rising paper and pulp industry to solve the problems like dewatering & water retention, and the adoption of green and bio-based water-soluble polymers. One of the most prominent growth factors in this market is the rising food and beverage industry in the UAE, which actively utilizes water-soluble polymers to increase the texture, creaminess, emulsification, and stabilization of the food material. For instance, as of 2025, the UAE has more than 45,000 bakeries and dessert manufacturing facilities, increasing the market size & volume.
Additionally, the dairy products manufactured in the UAE show a high presence of water-soluble biopolymers, such as carrageenan (E407), guar gum (E412), etc. For instance, the Al Rawabi Dairy, the Al Ain Dairy, and many more are using these polymers in their chocolate milk, yoghurts, and other kinds of dairy-based drinks. Also, the well-established oil & gas industry in the UAE further contributes to the market growth, as these polymers help to recover oil from deep reservoirs, thus increasing the market growth. Moreover, the widespread adoption of biodegradable polymers in the country is positively shaping the market growth trajectory.

UAE Water-soluble Polymers Market Driver:
Rising Requirement for Water Treatment – The market growth is driven by the high requirement for desalination and treated water in the country, as the UAE depends 90% on fresh water to fulfil its water requirements. For instance, the Taweelah SWRO Desalination Plant in Abu Dhabi (2022) is using a significant amount of a polymer called SpectraGuard 100 to improve the cleaning frequency. Similarly, the Fujairah F2 RO & Hybrid MSF Plant and the Jebel Ali SWRO (Dubai) extensively use polyacrylamide polymer in the pre-treatment process, while they also utilize other types of water-soluble polymer during Reverse osmosis.
Additionally, many related projects are lined up in the country, which will maintain the continuity of the high demand for treating agents, including water-soluble polymers in the UAE. For instance, the Hamriyah IWP SWRO, Hassyan Phase 1 SWRO (IWP model), Mirfa 2 Plant, etc., are the under-construction water treatment and desalination plants in the UAE, planned to commence between 2025-2028. Therefore, such renovations significantly utilize water-soluble polymers for the effective treatment and to meet the freshwater needs of the country, thus driving the market growth.
