Based on the application, the segment has been segregated into wastewater treatment, cosmetics, food packaging, paper and textile production, contact lenses, oil and gas, and others.

The water and wastewater treatment segment held the largest market share. As, Acrylamide is used as a precursor to polyacrylamide, which is extensively used in the flocculation of solids in water & wastewater treatment. When added to wastewater, it causes suspended particles to aggregate and precipitate. Additionally, in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, it is used in all liquid-solid separation processes including primary sewage treatment as well as in the treatment of water from mineral mining operations. By country, The U.S.A market for acrylamide is driven by the expanding industrial sector in the region. Also, urban wastewater management has become a supreme priority in North American countries. Also, industrial wastewater management has also become one of the important concerns among regulatory bodies as industrial effluents consist of harmful chemicals, which can lead to health hazards and hamper marine biodiversity which also supports expanding the market globally.
