De-Ionization Market Drivers

Rapid Industrialization in Emerging Economies is Boosting the Market Growth

Water is widely used across various industry verticals, whether it is raw water, process water, or wastewater. Mostly, water must be treated before entering the process to ensure its quality and properties in order to meet the specifications demanded by the industrial process. In addition, with the industrial water discharge regulations and policies, there is a high demand for solutions for recycling and reuse of wastewater produced. De-Ionization provides solutions for water and wastewater treatment for industrial use, such as scale & corrosion control, microbiology control, condensate treatment, and boiler feedwater treatment. The growing adoption of Electrodialysis (ED), or Reverse Osmosis process for water purification is also driving the market growth. Whereas, the rapid industrialization in emerging economies, such as India, China, Brazil, and the Philippines are driving the market's growth. According Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) report, the manufacturing sector in India grew at a CAGR of 5% from 2016-2020 and the manufacturing sector is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2025. Moreover, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, China’s industrial output is expected to grow around 5.6% in 2019 and according to China’s industrial policy “Made in China 2025”, aims at boosting industrial production and making the country a manufacturing superpower. Which will further boost the demand for processed water and in turn propel the de-ionization market.

Middle East Region is Driving the Market

Middle-East is one of the driest regions. The region is also experiencing rapid growth in population. For these reasons and others such as poor water management, water is becoming increasingly scarce in the region. With the advancement in water treatment technologies, seawater has become an interesting source of water to cope with the freshwater shortage. Reverse osmosis (RO) and Nanofiltration (NF) are currently the leading seawater desalination solutions. The advances in key equipment such as membranes and pumps have turned the process energy efficient, resulting in a low investment cost and low operational cost. Saudi Arabia is the biggest producer of desalinated water where more than 70% of its water needs are satisfied by desalination, which will drive the market's growth.

De-Ionization Market Challenges

Over All Costly Operation, Scaling Issue, and Availability of Alternative Process

The major challenge for the de-ionization market is the cost, both operational and capital costs. For example, a Capacitive Deionization (CDI) is capable of treating 1000 liters/hrs with a cost of $10,000, such a high cost is due to low manufacturing volumes of the components. Another factor deterring the market is the scaling issue, mostly all water contains calcium ions. During the operation, the negative electrode electros orbs positive ions indiscriminately including calcium ions. When the unit is discharged, a build-up of calcium compounds can form when a high concentration of calcium is released and CDI unit cleaning is a major technical challenge. Furthermore, the availability of alternatives processes like Chlorination, Iodine Water Purification, Coagulation-Flocculation, Water Fluoridation, Distillation, and others, which is also hindering the market growth. As distillation is one of the oldest methods of water purification. Water is boiled until it has evaporated, turning it into steam. Then this steam is collected in a sterile container, where it condenses and becomes water again. Distillation process has better economies of scale, it has very well-established technology with a competitive supply of equipment and uses low temperature & has a low energy cost.

De-Ionization Market Landscape

Technology launches, acquisitions and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the De-Ionization Market. Major players in the De-Ionization Market are PowerTech Water, Current Water Technologies Inc., Atlantis Technologies, Lenntech, Pure Aqua Inc., WET USA Inc., Nancrede Engineering Co, Inc., Vuronyx Technologies Inc., Vesitech Inc., Evoqua Water Technologies LLC, and others.

Acquisitions/Technology Launches

With this acquisition Evoqua Water Technologies further strengthen their service capabilities in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the surrounding region, which will further drive the market's growth.

Key Take away

North America region is projected to witness significant growth due to the growing demand for De-Ionization systems from the electronics and pharmaceutical industry. Whereas, the US holds the largest share in the region throughout the forecast period.

De-ionization is the convenient and cost-effective water filtration process for producing highly purified water that is generally similar to distilled water. Thus, surging demand for the process that supplies large amounts of highly purified water as needed with less energy-intensive, and more cost-effective drives the demand of DI market.

Growing small and medium scale drinking water production across towns & villages, construction & military camps, nitrate reduction, hotels & hospitals also propel the demand for Electrodialysis (ED), hydrogen ions exchange, and Reverse Osmosis process

Plants treating brackish water can pollute rivers, aquifers, and soil, which can deter the markets growth.
COVID-19 has hindered the market growth due to the en-use industry growth growing at a low rate.
