Blue-Tech 리서치가 ‘이온교환수지 시장 및 기술 전망’이라는 새 보고서에서 이온교환수지 분야의 세계시장이 6억 달러 규모에 달할 것이라는 전망을 내놓았다. 이 보고서는 공급에 대한 미국 시장점유율 데이터의 세부적인 분석도 함께 제공한다.

이온교환은 산업용으로 처음 사용된 안정적인 수처리 기술로, 단순 연화법, 초순수 생산, 감미 정화, 광산 내 금속회수 등이 속한다.

 

 

 

In its new insight report, "Ion Exchange Resin Market and Technology Overview," Blue-Tech Research, an organization that maps and analyzes the water technology innovation landscape, has provided its overview of the $600-million global market for ion-exchange resins. The report provides detailed analysis of U.S. market share data for supplies.

 

Ion exchange is a well-established water treatment technology, primarily used for industrial purposes, such as simple softening, production of ultrapure water, sweetener purification, and metal recovery in mining. Water passes around the resin beads, which trap and release ions, changing the composition of the water.

 

Recent shifts in market dynamics have increased competition from membrane technologies, such as reverse osmosis, while growing costs for disposing of waste brines from the ion-exchange process are resulting in erosion of market share in some sectors. The report describes why, despite this, the global resin market is growing and in which sectors.
 
The market segments were also rated based on their attractiveness for companies considering supplying ion-exchange resins, with sectors such as potable drinking water, ultrapure water and energy production considered most attractive due to the large size, reasonable margins and low technical barrier to entry (though significant enough to prevent commodity suppliers).
