Acrylamide Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
Acrylamide is a water-soluble monomer produced from acrylonitrile through catalytic or enzymatic hydration, used primarily as the building block for polyacrylamide flocculants in water treatment, papermaking, and mining applications. Acrylonitrile feedstock costs, water treatment polymer demand, and mining sector requirements all feed into the price.
Global acrylamide prices in Q1 2026 stood at USD 1.50 per KG in the United States, USD 1.01 per KG in China, USD 1.80 per KG in Germany, and USD 1.35 per KG in India, reflecting regional differences in acrylonitrile feedstock costs and production economics. Germany held the highest tracked price on elevated European energy and feedstock costs, while China remained the most competitively priced market on ample regional production capacity. Steady demand from water treatment polymer, papermaking, and mining sectors continued to underpin baseline consumption across all tracked regions.
What is Acrylamide Price in July 2026?
Acrylamide prices held close to Q1 2026 levels through July 2026, tracking regional acrylonitrile feedstock cost differentials, as steady water treatment, papermaking, and mining sector demand continued to support the market across all tracked regions.
- North America: US acrylamide prices held near USD 1.42 to USD 1.58 per KG, close to the USD 1.50 per KG recorded in Q1 2026, as acrylonitrile feedstock costs continued to anchor the region's pricing.
- APAC (China/India): Chinese acrylamide prices held near USD 0.96 to USD 1.06 per KG, the most competitively priced tracked market, while Indian prices held near USD 1.28 to USD 1.42 per KG, both close to Q1 2026 levels on ample regional production capacity.
- Europe: German acrylamide prices held near USD 1.71 to USD 1.89 per KG, close to the USD 1.80 per KG recorded in Q1 2026 and the highest among tracked markets, as elevated European energy and feedstock costs continued to sustain the regional premium.
Acrylamide Price Forecast for 2026
The balance of supply and demand for acrylamide through the rest of 2026 leans moderately firm. Acrylonitrile feedstock costs firmed from Middle East propylene supply disruptions. Water treatment and enhanced oil recovery sector demand is growing with infrastructure investment and oilfield chemical activity.
The main upside risk is a sharp acrylonitrile cost increase alongside accelerating water treatment infrastructure investment and oilfield chemical demand. The main downside risk is continued Chinese acrylamide production surplus that limits global price recovery despite firmer feedstock costs.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 1.34 - 1.54 | AN firming and water treatment demand support tone |
| United States | 1.44 - 1.64 | Steady water treatment and paper demand holds it firm |
| China | 1.00 - 1.20 | Large production capacity keeps it the most affordable |
| Germany | 1.74 - 1.94 | High feedstock and energy costs keep it the most expensive |
| India | 1.28 - 1.48 | Growing water treatment and oilfield demand holds a firm middle |

Key Questions Answered in the Report
Polyacrylamide production for water treatment flocculation and coagulation takes the largest share. Paper and board wet-strength and retention aid polymer production, enhanced oil recovery mobility control, soil stabilisation, and mineral processing beneficiation flocculants also consume significant volumes.
The Q1 2026 average was USD 1.50/KG in the United States, USD 1.01/KG in China, USD 1.80/KG in Germany, and USD 1.35/KG in India. Germany remains the highest-priced market.
The global average rose from USD 1.315/KG in Q1 2025 to about USD 1.336/KG in Q4, a full-year gain of around 1.6%. A Q2-Q3 water treatment season uptick was followed by a Q4 acrylonitrile cost softening before the Q1 2026 rebound.
Year-end acrylonitrile feedstock cost softness eased the production floor. Seasonal moderation in water treatment and paper manufacturing procurement reduced buying urgency. Adequate supply maintained comfortable availability through the quarter.
The global average is expected in the USD 1.34 to 1.54/KG range for the rest of 2026, with recovery on firmer acrylonitrile feedstock costs and growing water treatment and enhanced oil recovery sector demand globally.
Germany sits highest on acrylonitrile and energy costs, the United States and India hold a firm middle on water treatment and paper demand, and China prices lowest on large domestic production capacity.

Prices respond mainly to acrylonitrile and propylene feedstock costs, water treatment season cycles, and paper and oilfield sector activity. Middle East propylene supply events and municipal water infrastructure investment are key near-term signals.
Asia Pacific leads with China holding the largest production capacity, followed by North America and Europe. Any acrylonitrile or propylene cost shift ripples across acrylamide markets within one to two quarters.
Buyers can use quarterly trends and forecasts to time water treatment and paper formulation contracts around seasonal demand cycles, build cover when acrylonitrile signals tightening, and monitor propylene cost trends as the primary upstream signal.
