Report Code : cm1768 | Publish Date : Upcoming | Industry : Chemicals_Materials | Geography : Global


Water soluble polymers are components or substance that dissolve, disperse or swell in water and are obtained from a wide range of sources Including natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic. The natural water soluble polymers are basically obtained from plant, microbial and animal sources. Synthetic water soluble polymers are derived by either chemical modification of natural polymers or from microbial sources. Both, natural and semisynthetic water soluble polymers are polysaccharides, which vary substantially in their basic sugar units, linkages and substituents.

Water Soluble Polymers Market Outlook

The global market is estimated and forecasted in terms of volume (KT) and revenue (USD million) generated by the water soluble polymers market. Water soluble polymers market is primarily driven by increasing demand from end user application like water treatment, petroleum and personal care products industry and rising demand for environment friendly and less expensive products. However, unfavourable factors hindering the growth of water soluble polymers market includes material inconsistency and fluctuation in the prices of raw materials.
