Analysis of Global PolyAcrylamides Market
Frost & Sullivan, March 2010, Pages: 65
This research service deals with the global market for polyacrylamides. Presented are drivers, restraints, challenges, estimates of the market, company profiles, competitive structure and other competitive trends associated with the market. Also provided are forecasts upto 2015 with respect to key applications such as water treatment, pulp and paper, oilfield and mining.
Market Overview:
- PAM finds an irreplaceable usage in various mining applications, especially in mineral processing.
- In mining, PAM is mainly used in separation functions in mining ores for mineral processing, as a flocculant in mining water treatment, and as a grout
in sealing of mining pipelines.
- It is used in the extraction of coal or precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum as well as industrial ores such as copper, iron, zinc, and so
on.
- It also finds a wide application in coal fields where the process water needs to be separated from solids.
- The grade of PAM in mining applications is not entirely different from other fields; the pricing, however, is inclusive of technical services.
- The mining chemicals market is a mature one with companies such as AkzoNobel, Clariant, BASF, DuPont, and so on, and was valued $x Billion in
2008.
- The market has faced a massive recession in many ways similar to the oilfield market; the North American and Chinese markets are the largest
markets for mining PAM.
- The market shipped xx,xxx tons, while generating revenues of $xxx million, in 2008.
Product Analysis:
- The four major functions or applications within mining are tailings thickening, impoundment treatment, sludge dewatering, and clean
mineral/coal dewatering.
- Typically, all mining-related functions involve cationic environments: be it the process water or the wastewater generated through the process.
As a result, the majority of the PAM usage involves the anionic categories.
- The majority of the products used in mining applications are dry powder types, especially in regions where the usage volume is high.
- In the case of centrifugal separation methods, the market is governed by the emulsion form.
- Cationic polymers account for less than x percent of the total volume usage.
- In general, the cationic products are priced higher than the anionic and non ionic forms. A minimum difference of xx percent in the selling price
is observed.
Geographic Analysis:
- The PAM market for mining is the largest in the United States and China.
- The two regions have traditionally been the largest users of coal and mineral resources.
- The years 2007 and 2008 witnessed a visible slowdown in the mining activity, specifically in the United States.
- The Chinese Government has actively revised legislation and price structures relating to the mining industry, in order to counter the economic slowdown as well as the harsh pricing environment.
- The Chinese and North American markets for PAM in mining applications together accounted for xx percent of the world market in 2008.
- The European market accounted for less than xx percent in that year.
- The Rest-of-world (Asia Pacific, South America and the rest) accounted for xx percent.
