Ion exchange resins are polymers that act
as an ion exchange medium. They are insoluble in water and are
cross-linked and chemically inert. Ion exchange resins are
functionalized polymer microbeads, which are usually yellow or white
in color. They consist of a fine network with numerous
cavities/micropores. The polymer base of the resins is manipulated in
order to capture/exchange components from surrounding solutions.
There exist weak acid cation exchange resins and strong acid cation
exchange resins.
Weak acid cation exchange resins are weakly
acidic ion exchange resins that have carboxylic acid groups as
ion-exchangeable groups. Weak acid cation exchange resins are
commonly utilized for industrial water treatment applications. These
resins are employed to remove carbonates, bicarbonates, and other
alkaline salts. Other applications of weak acid cation exchange
resins include nickel and zinc recycling and purification and
separation of biochemical drugs. Strong acid cation exchange resins
contain sulfonic acids as their functional groups. The acidity of
these resins is as strong as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid.

Rapid industrialization, especially in Asia, is
analogous to the rise in demand for industrial water. Increase in
water pollution in some of the major regions such as Asia is driving
the need for water treatment technologies. The energy sector accounts
for a significant demand for water treatment. Weak acid cation
exchange resins and strong acid cation exchange resins are used for
municipal and industrial water treatment. Thus, increase in demand
for municipal/industrial water and wastewater treatment is
anticipated to drive the global cation exchange resins market during
the forecast period. However, cation exchange resins do not remove
microorganisms such as bacteria from the feed water; however, they
sometimes aid in bacterial growth. The resin beds are likely to
accumulate organic matter, which serves as a source of nutrients for
continued growth of bacteria. When sterile water is required after
the treatment, the demineralized water produced by the ion exchange
treatment plant needs to be treated by heat, ultraviolet irradiation,
or very fine filtration. Cation exchange resin beds can also be
treated with disinfectants such as formaldehyde, but not with heat or
chlorine, as they are likely to damage the resin. These factors are
anticipated to restrain the cation exchange resins market during the
forecast period.

Water treatment is a major application of the
cation exchange resins market. They are utilized for water
demineralisation, dealkalisation, etc. Cation exchange resins are
employed to remove most positively charged ions in water such as
iron, lead, radium, barium, aluminum and copper. Strong acid
cation resins are also utilized for the recovery of uranium from
water sources, especially mine water circuits. The process is used
for low to medium uranium concentrations. Cation exchange resins are
also significantly used in the chemical industry as a catalyst. They
are used in the production of chemicals such as TAME, Bisphenol A,
MTBE, etc.
In terms of volume, Asia Pacific accounted for a
major share of the global cation exchange resins market in 2016. This
trend is estimated to continue during the forecast period. Europe is
estimated to present minimal opportunities for the cation exchange
resins market due to the implementation of stringent regulations on
exposure to ion exchange resins due to health concerns. Major cation
exchange resins manufacturers, such as The Dow Chemical Company, have
a comparatively stronger position in North America, while Mitsubishi
holds a strong position in the Asia Pacific cation exchange resins
market.
