Electrodeionization (EDI) Technology Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The electrodeionization (EDI) technology market is expected to register a CAGR of over 5% globally during the forecast period. Major factors driving the market studied are increasing demand for ultrapure water in power generation and growing demand owing to its wide range of applications. On the flip side, the availability of alternate purification systems and unfavorable conditions arising due to the COVID-19 outbreak hinder the market's growth.

Key Highlights

• Increasing the electronics and semiconductor segments' applications are expected to drive the Electrodeionization (EDI) Technology market over the forecast period.
• Asia-Pacific region represents the largest market and is also likely to be the fastest-growing market over the forecast period due to increasing consumption from countries like China, India, and Japan.

Key Market Trends

Increasing Application in Electronics and Semiconductors

• Electrodeionization (EDI) is an electrically-driven, chemical-free water treatment technology that uses electricity, ion exchange, and resin to remove ionized species from water.
• The process involves combining ion-exchange resins and ion-exchange membranes, which are used to move ionic impurities into a waste or concentrate water stream leaving purified product water.
• Semiconductor plants use ultra-pure water as a cleaning agent, so it is important that the water should not contain dissolved contaminants that can precipitate or particles that may lodge on circuits and cause microchip failures.
• The semiconductor industry, one of the world’s largest in terms of added value, is a business that demands the utmost purity of water. A single 8-inch silicon wafer, the basis for about 100 chips, can require up to 7,500 liters of water to produce, among which about two-third has to be ultra-pure water.
• The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced that worldwide sales of semiconductors reached USD 36.6 billion for October 2019, increasing 2.9% from the sales witnessed in September 2019 (USD 35.6 billion).
• Hence, due to the growing application of electrodeionization technology in semiconductor manufacturing, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, the demand for electrodeionization technology is expected to increase.

Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market

• Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market for Electrodeionization (EDI) technology during the forecast period. Due to the high demand for applications from countries like China, India, and Japan, the market for Electrodeionization (EDI) technology has increased.
• The largest producers of Electrodeionization (EDI) systems are located in the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the leading companies in the production of Electrodeionization (EDI) systems are DuPont, SUEZ, Evoqua Water Technologies LLC, Samco Technologies Inc., and Guangzhou Aomi Water Purification System Manufacture Co. Ltd.
• Electrodeionization (EDI) technology also finds application in the pharmaceutical industry, reusing residual water in the food and beverage industry.
• Currently, the Chinese pharmaceutical industry, which is valued at about ~USD 145 billion, represents the biggest emerging market with growth tipped to reach ~USD 200 billion by 2022, thus increasing the market scope.
• Taiwan's semiconductor equipment purchase grew by 34% in 2019, reaching USD 3.9 billion, making it one of the leading countries for the market in the region.
• The aforementioned factors, coupled with government support, contribute to the increasing demand for the electrodeionization technology market during the forecast period.

Competitive Landscape

The global electrodeionization technology market is fragmented, with players accounting for a marginal share in the market. Some of the major companies include DuPont, SUEZ, Evoqua Water Technologies LLC, Samco Technologies Inc., and Deionx
