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:

Oil and Gas Pipeline Leak Detection Equipment Market Driven by Stringent Government Regulations

Although renewable resources of energy have gained substantial popularity in the recent past, there is no foreseeable limitation to the escalating demand for oil and gas, with the growing population and rapid urbanization. Consequently, the demand in the global market for oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment is projected for a robust CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period of 2016 to 2024, according to a recent report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). As per the estimations of the TMR report, the global oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market will be worth US$3.65 bn by the end of 2024, significantly up from its evaluated valuation of US$2.02 bn in 2015. Some of the key factors augmenting the demand in the oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market are: development and expansion of existing pipelines and construction of new pipelines, increasing incidents of oil and gas leakages in pipeline and storage tanks at production facilities, and

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco

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 prototypi
