Acrylamide (AM) has wide application fields. my country is the world’s largest producer and consumer.

Acrylamide (AM) is an organic compound containing a carbon-carbon double bond and an amide group. Its chemical formula is C3H5NO and it has the chemical properties of a double bond. Acrylamide appears as a white crystalline powder with no special odor. It is soluble in water, ether, ethanol, acetone, and insoluble in hexane and benzene. Acrylamide is a small molecule compound with a simple structure and is widely used in sewage treatment, food additives, rubber, medicine and other fields.

The main preparation methods of acrylamide include substitution hydrolysis, addition polymerization, direct polymerization, hydrothermal synthesis, etc. The hydrothermal synthesis method refers to mixing raw materials such as vinyl chloride and propane under high temperature conditions, and then adding aqueous solution to fully react to produce the finished product. my country’s acrylamide industry started in the 1960s. After years of development, the technological maturity of local enterprises has continued to improve. At present, my country has become the world’s largest producer of acrylamide.

Acrylamide is mainly used in petrochemical industry, food additives, rubber, medicine and other fields. In the field of sewage treatment, acrylamide can be used to produce flocculants, which can eliminate the polymerization stability and precipitation stability of impurities in water; in the field of food additives, acrylamide can be used to process foods such as coffee and potato chips; in the field of rubber, acrylamide can be used In the production of rubber antioxidants; in the pharmaceutical field, acrylamide can be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate to prepare anti-inflammatory drugs.

According to the “2023-2028 China Acrylamide (AM) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that the global market demand for acrylamide is growing rapidly, benefiting from the expanding scope of downstream applications. The global acrylamide market size will reach US$340 million in 2022, a year-on-year growth of 4.2%. In terms of the local market, my country is the world’s largest consumer of acrylamide. my country’s acrylamide market size will reach US$120 million in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 12.3%. It is expected that in the future, with the continuous advancement of national environmental protection policies, the demand for acrylamide in my country’s sewage treatment field will further increase.

The major global acrylamide manufacturers include Mitsubishi Group of Japan, SNF of France, Solenis of the United States, BASF of Germany, etc. In recent years, the number of foreign-funded companies and local companies involved in my country’s acrylamide industry has continued to grow, driving competition in the market to become increasingly fierce. Jucheng Chemical, Fangli Technology, Fumiao Technology, etc. are the main manufacturers of acrylamide in my country.

Industry analysts said that as a small molecule compound, acrylamide is widely used in many fields. Driven by market demand, there is room for industry development growing. At present, my country’s acrylamide industry has entered a mature development stage, product output and quality are constantly improving, and local companies have competitive advantages and voice in the global market.
