Rising Demand from Paper & Pulp Industry Drives Europe Polyacrylic Acid Market

The global paper & pulp industry is growing due to factors such as the expanding e-commerce sector, increasing demand for paper packaging products, and rising demand for eco-friendly packaging products. Countries in Europe such as Germany and Finland are major pulp and paper producers across the world. In Europe, paper production is concentrated in the northern European countries, including Finland, Russia, and Sweden. Europe is the second-largest pulp and paper manufacturer in the world, producing 100 million paper articles and 37 million tonnes of pulp, or over 25% of global production (The Confederation of European Paper Industries, 2021). After woodworking, the pulp and paper industry is the second-largest forest-based industry in the Europe. Polyacrylic acid is used as a scale inhibitor and dispersant in papermaking. Also, it functions as a cross-linker and adhesion promotor in papers. The rising production of paper and pulp, fuels the polyacrylic acid market growth.

Europe Polyacrylic Acid Market Overview

According to the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection report, Germany has the highest rate of wastewater reprocessing and recycling in Europe. More than 96% of the wastewater from private households and public facilities is discharged into nearby sewage treatment plants for processing. The Federal Water Act stipulates that pollutants in drainage water must be reduced in line with the best available technology. In March 2023, Germany adopted the national water strategy, which included the development of water infrastructure. Therefore, a high rate of wastewater treatment and various government initiatives are a few factors driving the demand for polyacrylic acid in the country.
