Ion Exchange Membrane Market Key Factors

To learn more about this report, request sample copy

Global ion exchange membrane market growth is driven by growing demand for desalination from countries facing fresh water scarcity. The market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period, owing to rising focus on reducing dependence on conventional water treatment solutions and increasing adoption of energy-efficient ion exchange membrane technologies for desalination across Middle Eastern and Asian countries. Growth in end-use industries such as chemical processing and power generation can also drive the market growth.  

Growing demand from water treatment industry

Global ion exchange membrane market is expected to witness significant growth due to increasing demand from the water treatment industry. Proper treatment of water is essential before it is supplied for various industrial and municipal purposes. Ion exchange membrane technology is widely being used in desalination plants, wastewater recycling units and purifying brackish water. As the global fresh water reserves are under strain due to rising population and industrialization, more countries are turning to advanced water treatment technologies like reverse osmosis plants which employ ion exchange membranes. Their natural advantages such as high selectivity, energy efficiency and ease of operation as compared to other membranes boosts their usage.  The municipal sector has also ramped up spending on water treatment infrastructure to provide clean drinking water. Stringent regulatory mandates regarding wastewater discharge standards have propelled the need for advanced effluent treatment systems using ion exchange membranes. Their exclusion of undesirable ions while permitting passage of selective ions makes them suitable for a variety of industrial water purification needs. With growing fresh water scarcity becoming a worldwide concern, major investment is expected in large desalination projects as well as small decentralized community-level water treatment facilities which will boost demand for ion exchange membranes. Their important role in ensuring access to safe and clean water for all will boost research into developing more efficient and longer lasting membrane materials.

/p>Rising focus on fuel cells

The increasing focus on fuel cells across the globe is a major factor driving the growth of the global ion exchange membrane market. Fuel cells are energy conversion devices that generate electricity through an electrochemical reaction. Ion exchange membranes play a crucial role in fuel cells as they allow only specific ions to pass through while blocking others. This selective transportation of ions is important for the smooth functioning of fuel cells.  Over the past few years, several governments and automobile manufacturers have ramped up investments and efforts to develop fuel cell technologies for transportation. For example, the European Union announced investments of €1.5 billion under its Horizon Europe program between 2021-2027 to support research and development of fuel cells. Several leading automakers like Toyota, Hyundai and BMW have developed prototypes of fuel cell vehicles and set roadmaps to launch fuel cell models in mass markets by 2025-2030. Such initiatives are aimed at transitioning the transportation sector from fossil fuels to hydrogen as an alternative clean fuel. With the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles expected to begin in the latter half of this decade, demand for ion exchange membranes from the auto industry is projected to rise sharply.
