ブライン濃縮ミネラルの2030年までの市場予測：ミネラルタイプ、技術、用途、地域別の世界分析

Stratistics MRCによると、世界のブライン濃縮ミネラル市場は2023年に9億米ドルを占め、予測期間中にCAGR 9.4％で成長し、2030年には18億米ドルに達すると予想されています。

ブライン濃縮ミネラルは、塩水として知られるブラインに見られる水中の溶存ミネラルの蓄積を指します。これらのミネラルには、ナトリウム、塩化物、カリウム、マグネシウム、カルシウムなどが含まれます。これらのミネラルは、太陽熱蒸発、逆浸透、ナノろ過などのさまざまな技術によって濃縮されます。このプロセスにより、残った塩水中の濃度が高まり、結晶化しやすくなります。

USGS Publications Warehouseによると、2021年の世界のリチウム生産量は、リチウムイオン電池市場の旺盛な需要とリチウム価格の上昇を受けて、2020年の8万2,500トンから21％増の約10万トンに増加しました。

海水淡水化のニーズの高まり

海水淡水化のニーズの高まりは、ブライン濃縮ミネラル市場の重要な促進要因です。世界人口の増加と淡水資源の不足に伴い、海水淡水化は清潔な水に対する需要の高まりに対応するための重要なソリューションとなっています。食塩水の濃縮は、濃縮された食塩水から貴重なミネラルを回収するのに役立つため、海水淡水化プロセスにおいて不可欠な部分です。世界中で海水淡水化技術の採用が増加していることが、ブライン濃縮ミネラルの需要を促進し、市場の成長に寄与しています。

価格の変動

ブライン濃縮ミネラルの価格は、需給ダイナミクス、地政学的イベント、エネルギーコストの変動など、さまざまな要因の影響を受けます。こうした要因の予測不可能な性質は、大幅な価格変動につながる可能性があり、市場参入企業が効果的な計画を立て、予算を立てることを困難にします。価格を取り巻く不確実性は、ブライン濃縮プロジェクトへの投資を抑制し、市場の成長性を阻害する可能性があります。

石油・ガス産業の拡大

ブライン濃縮技術は石油・ガス分野で広く利用されています。特に新興経済では石油・ガスの需要が伸び続けているため、ブライン濃縮ミネラルのニーズが高まると予想されます。高度な掘削技術の採用と石油回収率の最大化に重点を置くことで、石油・ガス産業におけるこれらのミネラルの需要がさらに高まり、市場に新たな成長機会が生まれます。

インフラの制約

ブラインの濃縮プロセスには、パイプライン、貯蔵施設、処理プラントなどの特殊なインフラが必要です。多くの地域、特に新興国では、適切なインフラがないことが市場の成長を妨げる可能性があります。特に資金力の乏しい地域では、ブライン濃縮インフラの建設と維持に伴う高い資本コストが市場参入企業の障壁となる可能性があります。

COVID-19の影響：

COVID-19の流行は、ブライン濃縮用ミネラル市場にさまざまな影響を与えました。海水淡水化とブライン濃縮の需要全体は比較的安定していたもの、パンデミックはサプライチェーンを混乱させ、プロジェクト実施の遅れを引き起こしました。しかし、水の安全保障への関心の高まりと、パンデミック時の信頼性の高い水処理ソリューションの必要性は、ブライン濃縮技術の重要性を浮き彫りにし、長期的な市場成長を促進する可能性があります。

予測期間中は塩化ナトリウム・セグメントが最大になる見込み

塩化ナトリウムセグメントは、予測期間中、食ブライン濃縮ミネラル市場で最大のシェアを占めると予想されます。塩化ナトリウムは、化学生産、食品加工、道路凍結防止など幅広い用途に使用されています。さまざまな産業で塩化ナトリウムの需要が増加していることと、食塩水源に豊富に含まれていることが、同市場における支配的な地位の一因となっています。海水淡水化とブライン濃縮のニーズが高まるにつれ、塩化ナトリウム・セグメントはトップシェアを維持すると予想されます。

NF-RO-MF（ナノろ過、逆浸透、精密ろ過）セグメントは予測期間中最も高いCAGRが見込まれる

NF-RO-MF（ナノろ過、逆浸透、精密ろ過）セグメントは、食ブライン濃縮ミネラル市場において予測期間中に有利な成長を遂げると予測されています。これらの高度な膜ベースの技術は、高効率、低エネルギー消費、高純度ミネラルの回収能力により、ブライン濃縮に採用されるケースが増えています。持続可能で費用対効果の高いブライン濃縮ソリューションに対する需要の高まりが、このセグメントの急成長を後押ししています。

最大のシェアを占める地域：

かん水濃縮ミネラル市場では、アジア太平洋地域が最大のシェアを占めると予想されます。この地域には、中国、インド、東南アジア諸国など、人口密度が高く、経済が急成長している国がいくつかあります。この地域の淡水資源が限られていることと相まって、きれいな水への需要が増加していることが、海水淡水化と食塩水濃縮技術の採用を促進しています。さらに、この地域の産業部門、特に化学・石油・ガス産業の拡大が、食ブライン濃縮ミネラルの需要をさらに押し上げています。

CAGRが最も高い地域：

アジア太平洋地域は、予測期間中、ブライン濃縮ミネラル市場で最も高いCAGRを示すと予想されます。同地域の急速な都市化、工業化、人口増加が、清潔な水とブライン濃縮ソリューションの需要を促進しています。同地域の政府は、水不足の課題に対処し経済発展を支援するため、海水淡水化プロジェクトに多額の投資を行っています。同地域では、NF-RO-MFのような先進的なブライン濃縮技術の採用が増加していることも、同市場の高い成長の可能性を後押ししています。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Brine Concentration Minerals Market is accounted for $0.9 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $1.8 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period. Brine concentration minerals refer to the accumulation of dissolved minerals in water found in concentrated salt solutions known as brines. These minerals include sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, among others. These minerals are concentrated through various technologies like solar evaporation, reverse osmosis, and nanofiltration. This process increases their concentration in the remaining brine, making them more likely to crystallize.

According to USGS Publications Warehouse, worldwide lithium production in 2021 increased by 21% to approximately 100,000 tons from 82,500 tons in 2020 in response to strong demand from the lithium-ion battery market and increased prices of lithium.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing need for desalination

The growing need for desalination is a significant driver for the Brine Concentration Minerals market. As the global population increases and freshwater resources become scarce, desalination has become a crucial solution for meeting the rising demand for clean water. Brine concentration is an essential part of the desalination process, as it helps to recover valuable minerals from the concentrated brine solution. The increasing adoption of desalination technologies worldwide is driving the demand for brine concentration minerals, thereby contributing to the growth of the market.

Restraint:

Volatility in prices

The prices of brine concentration minerals are influenced by various factors, such as supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical events, and fluctuations in energy costs. The unpredictable nature of these factors can lead to significant price fluctuations, making it challenging for market participants to plan and budget effectively. The uncertainty surrounding prices can deter investments in brine concentration projects and hinder the market's growth potential.

Opportunity:

Expanding oil and gas industry

Brine concentration technologies are widely used in the oil and gas sector. As the demand for oil and gas continues to grow, particularly in developing economies, the need for brine concentration minerals is expected to increase. The adoption of advanced drilling techniques and the focus on maximizing oil recovery rates further drive the demand for these minerals in the oil and gas industry, creating new growth opportunities for the market.

Threat:

Infrastructure limitations

The process of brine concentration requires specialized infrastructure, including pipelines, storage facilities, and processing plants. In many regions, particularly in developing countries, the lack of adequate infrastructure can hinder the growth of the market. The high capital costs associated with building and maintaining brine concentration infrastructure can be a barrier for market participants, especially in areas with limited financial resources.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the Brine Concentration Minerals market. While the overall demand for desalination and brine concentration remained relatively stable, the pandemic disrupted supply chains and caused delays in project implementation. However, the increased focus on water security and the need for reliable water treatment solutions during the pandemic have highlighted the importance of brine concentration technologies, potentially driving long-term market growth.

The sodium chloride segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The sodium chloride segment is expected to hold the largest share in the brine concentration minerals market during the forecast period. It has a wide range of applications, including chemical production, food processing, and road deicing. The increasing demand for sodium chloride across various industries, coupled with its abundance in brine sources, contributes to its dominant position in the market. As the need for desalination and brine concentration grows, the sodium chloride segment is expected to maintain its leading market share.

The NF-RO-MF (Nanofiltration, Reverse Osmosis, Microfiltration) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The NF-RO-MF (Nanofiltration, Reverse Osmosis, Microfiltration) segment is projected to experience lucrative growth during the forecast period in the Brine Concentration Minerals market. These advanced membrane-based technologies are increasingly being adopted for brine concentration due to their high efficiency, low energy consumption, and ability to recover high-purity minerals. The growing demand for sustainable and cost-effective brine concentration solutions is driving the rapid growth of this segment.

Region with largest share:

The Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest share in the brine concentration minerals market. The region is home to several countries with high population densities and rapidly growing economies, such as China, India, and Southeast Asian nations. The increasing demand for clean water, coupled with the regions limited freshwater resources, is driving the adoption of desalination and brine concentration technologies. Additionally, the expanding industrial sector in the region, particularly in the chemical and oil and gas industries, further fuels the demand for brine concentration minerals.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia Pacific region is also expected to exhibit the highest CAGR in the brine concentration minerals market during the forecast period. The rapid urbanization, industrialization, and population growth in the region are driving the demand for clean water and brine concentration solutions. Governments in the region are investing heavily in desalination projects to address water scarcity challenges and support economic development. The increasing adoption of advanced brine concentration technologies, such as NF-RO-MF, in the region further contributes to the high growth potential of the market.
