The global ion exchange membrane market is estimated to be valued at US$ 908.33 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Growth Accelerated by Expanding Water & Wastewater Treatment Industry
One of the key trends driving the growth of the ion exchange membrane market is the expanding water & wastewater treatment industry. Clean water is essential for various industrial processes and human consumption. However, surface and groundwater sources are increasingly getting polluted due to growing industrialization and urbanization. This has boosted investments in industrial and municipal water treatment facilities that employ advanced treatments methods like ion exchange, reverse osmosis, and membrane technologies. Ion exchange membranes play a vital role in applications like electro-deionization, which remove trace level dissolved ions from water. The rising global focus on clean water availability is expected to continue propelling the demand for ion exchange membranes over the forecast period.
Segment Analysis
The ion exchange membrane market is segmented based on material as heterogeneous and homogeneous membranes. The homogeneous membranes segment dominated the market in 2023 and is expected to witness higher growth during the forecast period. Homogeneous membranes have uniform properties throughout and provide higher selectivity and mechanical strength compared to heterogeneous membranes.
