The global ion exchange membrane market reached a value of US$ 886.1 million in 2021. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach US$ 1,162.7 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.72% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, the analyst is continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
Ion exchange membranes (IEM) are thin semipermeable sheets or films used for the separation of cations and inions from fluids in water treatment plants. The ionic species enable the separation, concentration and exclusion of ionic material from the fluid flow. The membranes are commonly available in chlor-alkali, hydrocarbon, perfluorocarbon, inorganic, composite and partially halogenated variants. They consist of electrically charged active sites that are used for the treatment of industrial effluents and desalination of seawater and brackish water. In comparison to the traditionally used membranes, IEM are more cost-effective and can be used for removing dissolved inorganic ions and regenerating resins. They are also used for electrolysis, chromatographic separations and water softening processes by removing the calcium, magnesium and toxic metals for the water.
The increasing demand for effective wastewater and radioactive liquid waste treatment solutions across industries is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Moreover, significant growth in the chemical industry is creating a positive outlook for the market. Chlor-alkali ion exchange membranes IEMs are widely used for separation of sodium and chloride ions of sodium chloride and for the manufacturing of caustic soda, caustic potash, chlorine and hydrogen-basic chemical products. They are also used as separators for the organic synthesis and hydro dimerization of acrylonitrile to produce adiponitrile. In line with this, the increasing demand for IEMs for the purification of medical drugs is also contributing to the growth of the market. Other factors, including the implementation of favorable government policies for providing clean and potable water, along with the increasing requirement for green hydrogen processing solutions for sustainable energy supply systems, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
This report provides an analysis of the key trends in each sub-segment of the global ion exchange membrane market, along with forecasts at the global, regional and country level from 2022-2027. The report has categorized the market based on charge, material, structure and application.
