Global Ion Exchange Membrane Market: Rising Demand for Clean Water to Encourage Increased Demand, says TMR

The global ion exchange membrane market features the presence of a large number of suppliers, dominance of regional companies in several key markets, and growth dynamics that is highly dependent on long term contracts, and goodwill of companies, observes Transparency Market Research in a recent report. Local manufacturers with integrated operations have competitive advantage owing to the easy access to low-cost raw materials and lessened effect of volatility in raw material costs commonly observed in the global market.  
According to Transparency Market Research, the global ion exchange membrane market will exhibit a moderate 3.5% CAGR over the period between 2016 and 2024, rising from a valuation of US$868.8 mn in 2015 to US$1,178.2 mn by 2024.  

In terms of material, inorganic membrane is the most commonly consumed ion exchange membrane, as it offers high selective separation of gases such as hydrogen and oxygen. The segment presently accounts for the dominant share in the global ion exchange membrane market and is expected to retain dominance over the forecast period as well. In terms of geography, Asia Pacific dominated the ion exchange membrane market in 2015. This trend is expected to continue during the forecast period due to the increasing demand for ion exchange membrane in industries such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare, electronics, and power generation.
Rising Usage across Water and Wastewater Treatment Industry to Drive Market
The key factors driving the global ion exchange membrane market include the widening scope of the global water and wastewater treatment industries and the vast rise in usage of ion exchange membranes in the industrial gas processing segment. Of these, the use of ion exchange membranes in the water and wastewater industries is expected to have a significant and lasting positive influence on the overall development of the global ion exchange market over the next few years.
Rising awareness regarding the importance of clean and pure water among masses, encouraging government efforts to ensure proper supply of the same, and stringent regulations regarding the treatment of industrial wastewater will boost the usage of ion exchange membranes in developing markets such as Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa. The increased use of industrial gases across industries such as petrochemical, oil and gas, mining, power, and chemical is also expected to significantly drive the global demand for ion exchange membrane in the next few years.
Concerns Regarding Contamination Caused by Ion Exchange Membranes to Restrain Market Growth
Studies have demonstrated that ion exchange membranes can themselves be a source of non-ionized organic contamination. Organics remaining after manufacture get carried on with new commercial grade ion exchange membranes, while organic fragments are shed by very old membranes as the polymer structure opens up due to decrosslinkage of the material. Such contamination may make ion exchange membranes unsuitable for many uses.
It is also often noticed that membrane beds do not filter-out bacteria or other micro-organisms. In fact, resin beds often act as a nutrient source as traces of organic matter accumulate after excessive use and indirectly help in the continued growth of microbes. Such concerns regarding the undesired side-effects of ion exchange membranes could hamper the growth prospects of the global ion exchange membrane market in the next few years.
For the study, the global ion exchange membrane market has been segmented into:

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
