The global Ion Exchange Resins (IERs) market was valued at USD 1.45 Billion in 2015 and is projected to reach USD 2.26 Billion by 2026. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.15% from 2016 to 2026. In this study, 2015 has been considered the base year. The long term forecast period considered is from 2016 to 2016, while the mid-term forecast period is from 2016 to 2021.

The main objective of the study is to define, describe, and forecast the IERs market on the basis of type, end-use industry, and region. The report includes detailed information about the major factors influencing the growth of the market (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and industry specific challenges). The report strategically analyzes market segments with respect to individual growth trends, growth prospects, and contribution to the total market. In the report, the market size has been estimated for segments, in terms of value, with respect to five major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa.

In this report, market sizes have been derived through various research methodologies. In the secondary research process, different sources have been referred to identify and collect information for this study. These secondary sources include, annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, and articles from recognized authors. In the primary research process, sources from both, supply and demand sides have been interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information for this report.

The global Ion Exchange Resins (IERs) market is projected to reach USD 2.26 Billion by 2026. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.15% during the long-term forecast period, 2016-2026. The IERs market is driven by the increasing demand for the use of nuclear energy for the generation of electricity in emerging countries. Another prime factor that is expected to bring momentum to this market is the growing urbanization and increasing affluence in the Asia-Pacific region.

Based on type, the other resins which include chelating resins and adsorbent resins segments, are expected to grow at high CAGRs from 2016 to 2026, as these resins are finding new applications in the pharmaceutical and food & beverage industries.  The cationic resins segment is estimated to account for the largest market share in 2016, as cationic resins are used on a large scale in various end-use industries such as, nuclear energy, water treatment, chemicals, and so on.

Based on end-use industry, the power segment is projected to have the largest share in the IERs market during the forecast period. IERs are widely used in the power industry, mainly in demineralizing feed water and make-up water, wastewater treatment, and condensate polishing inside water-steam circuits. The pharmaceutical segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The resins are receiving considerable attention for their efficient use as drug delivery vehicles or systems and are also suitable for drug delivery technologies, which include controlled release, transdermal, nasal, topical, and taste masking. The growing electrical & electronics industry is also expected to influence the demand for IERs during the forecast period.

The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the largest share of the global IERs market in 2015, and is expected to continue to lead the market during the forecast period. The market in the South American region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing the increasing industrialization in the region. Finding new applications, and the lack of awareness in underdeveloped regions are posing a challenge for the growth of the IERs market.

Volatility in raw materials prices and increasing competition from the reverse osmosis membrane in the demineralization application are the major restraints in the IERs market. In addition, there is a great need for innovations in the IERs market to be able to serve applications better. Continuous portfolio optimization is important to stay competitive in the IERs market. Market players are collaborating with each other in order to develop new and innovative products, technologies, and manufacturing processes. These collaborations are expected to reduce competition in the IERs market during the forecast period.

Major players adopted both, organic and inorganic growth strategies between 2012 and 2016 to strengthen their positions in the market. New product developments and investments & expansions were the major organic growth strategies adopted by the market players to enhance their regional presence and meet the growing demand for IERs in emerging economies. The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), Lanxess AG (Germany), Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (Japan), Ion Exchange (India) Ltd. (India), and Purolite Corporation (U.S.) are some of the prominent players in the IERs market.
