Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Surging Demand for Advanced Water Treatment Solutions:

The water treatment industry witnesses demand now as global concerns over water quality strengthen. As stated by the United Nations, up to 2.2 billion people had a need for safe drinking water in 2022 and this also included 703 million people who had no access to basic water services. Due to this massive gap, governments and industries are investing heavily in advanced purification technologies. Ion exchange resins have become necessary for the removal of heavy metals, dissolved organic materials as well as harmful pollutants from water sources. These resins do help to get rid of all of these contaminants. Modern industrial facilities are increasingly adopting advanced resin-based systems that meet the most stringent quality standards for ultra-pure water.

• Massive Infrastructure Investment in Water Systems:

Governments around the world are beginning and increasing investments for the substantial modernization of water infrastructure. The Biden-Harris Administration funded for drinking water and wastewater and also stormwater infrastructure upgrades with USD 5.8 billion which is part of a USD 50 billion investment under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. These projects give focus to the removal of lead service lines along with upgrades for treatment plants. PFAS like emerging contaminants get attention too. This enormous infrastructure growth develops large opportunities for suppliers of ion exchange resin because new facilities require advanced purification systems that handle varied water quality problems.

• Explosive Growth in Chemical and Petrochemical Industries:

Growth is extraordinary for chemical processing specifically in emerging economies. According to the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, India's chemical and petrochemical sector was valued at USD 178 billion, and expansion toward over USD 300 billion is predicted by 2025. These industries require process water of massive quantities that meets exacting purity standards. Industrial water is treated using ion exchange resins, since they eliminate impurities, which may disrupt production or harm costly equipment. The Asia-Pacific chemical industry alone accounts for 45% of the sector's total economic value on a global scale, as this then creates substantial demand for specialized resin solutions.

• Rising Nuclear Energy Demand Driving Specialized Applications:

For nuclear power generation which requires ultra-pure water systems it is being greatly increased by the global push for clean energy. IEA predicts global electricity demand will accelerate rising 3.4% yearly through 2026. Electricity demand will increase to 6.5% annually in India between 2024 and 2026. This increase is specific within India. Nuclear facilities use ion exchange resins extensively in order to purify coolant water as well as remove radioactive ions. These actions make operations efficient and safe. This specialized application commands a premium sort of pricing. Furthermore, this application drives innovation toward high-performance resin technologies designed for extreme operating conditions.
