Key Market Trends

Water Treatment to Dominate the Market

- Ion exchange membranes are used in a variety of applications including purification and separation. The membrane technology offers various benefits, such as high energy efficiency, low maintenance cost, and is eco-friendly.
- In the past few years, there has been an increase in concerns of clean water for drinking and sanitation across the globe which is likely to boost the demand for ion exchange membranes as they are used in removing impurities from contaminated water.
- In India, the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires EPA (the United States Environmental Protection Agency) to establish regulations to protect human health from contaminants in drinking water. The act authorizes EPA to develop national drinking water standards and ensure compliance with these standards.
- Hence, owing to the aforementioned reasons, water treatment is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

- Asia-Pacific has accounted for the highest market share in 2018 owing to the high demand from countries like India and China.
- One of the key factors behind the high demand for ion exchange membranes in Asia-Pacific is government policies regarding water treatment in the developing economies of the region like China, India, and Indonesia.
- The economic growth and urbanization of China are also likely to boost the demand for ion exchange membranes as it will result in the parallel rise in demand for effective water treatment solutions.
- In highly populated countries like China and India, the need for conservation and re-use of water is rising at a significant rate.
- Hence, Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period.
