Summary
Table Of Content

The desiccant wheel is one of the various methods used for dehumidification. It consists of a rotating wheel that absorbs moisture from the air allowed to pass through it. It consists of a rotating wheel for absorbing moisture from the nearby surrounding by allowing the air to pass through it. The wheel is either coated with a desiccant material, or the material is kept inside the hollow wheel. The desiccant material absorbs any kind of moisture in a closed atmosphere granting complete control over the humidity in the area. The desiccant used to absorb moisture can be reused by removing moisture from it. Therefore, the desiccant wheel offers better humidity control than compressor dehumidifiers and thermal wheels at relatively lower operating costs. Consequently, the demand for the desiccant wheel for humidity control is expected to grow even further in the following years.

In the past few years, the rising atmospheric temperature has resulted in the rise of global humidity levels. Higher humidity offers an undesirable working environment for many industry verticals, such as the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. Most of the chemicals and ingredients used in aforementioned industries tend to absorb moisture. The moisture degrades the quality of these ingredients, making them undesirable for further processing or consumption. The hygroscopic material used in this industry can absorb humidity, making them undesirable to be used for further processing. In order to maintain the humidity level in the processing premises, these industries extensively make use of desiccant wheels. The time required by the desiccant wheel to absorb the moisture is comparatively less than the other dehumidifying methods, such as compressor dehumidifiers and thermal wheels. In addition, the desiccant wheel also aids in maintaining stringent regulations laid by the government authorities for maintaining suitable conditions for the aforementioned industries. Furthermore, the ability to reuse desiccant material in the wheel makes it more cost-effective than a compressor-driven dehumidifier or thermal wheel. Therefore, the desiccant wheel market is expected to rise even further during the forecast period.

The global desiccant wheel market is segmented, based on type, into the following categories:

Silica Gel
Molecular Sieve
Activated Alumina
Others

As of 2016, the silica gel desiccant wheels segment dominated the overall desiccant wheels market worldwide. Silica gel-based desiccant wheels are attributed to more than 60% of the total market share in the overall desiccant wheel market. On account of factors such as higher availability and ease of use, silica gel has gained immense popularity for producing desiccant wheels. In addition, silica gel-based desiccant wheels are regarded as one of the safety dehumidifiers that can be used in the food and beverages industry. Thereby, these desiccant wheels have experienced a higher degree of adoption all across the globe.

The molecular sieve segment trails the silica gel in terms of revenue as of 2016. This is because molecular sieves offer similar advantages to silica gel. However, at relative humidity above 40%, the ability of molecular sieves to absorb moisture reduces. Consequently, molecular sieves are used for limited end-use applications such as packaging industries. In the following years, the demand for molecular sieves is expected to rise steadily.

The global desiccant wheel market is segmented, based on application, into the following categories:

Pharmaceuticals
Chemical
Food and Beverages
Electronics
Warehouse
Others

As of 2016, the pharmaceutical end-use application dominated the worldwide desiccant wheels market. Pharmaceutical companies must maintain atmospheric humidity levels and have precise control over moisture content. Especially the units having the capacity for making tablets. Most of the ingredients used in pharmaceutical companies are hygroscopic. Consequently, this end-use application extensively uses desiccant wheels for dehumidification. These wheels are chemically stable and do not react with most elements. Thus, making it safe to use in such conditions. With a consistent rise in the pharmaceutical sector, it is expected that the desiccant wheel market will also show positive growth throughout the forecast period.

In 2016, the chemical industry trailed the pharmaceutical end-use application in the overall desiccant wheels market in terms of revenue. Desiccant wheels are chemically inactive and are completely non-flammable. These properties are suitable for a chemical plant or processing unit. In addition, the faster operation helps the chemical industry control the moisture content within the premises. Growing chemical industries and increased adoption of desiccant wheels for moisture absorption have resulted in the rise of the desiccant wheel market.

The global desiccant wheel market has been segmented, on the basis of geographical regions, as per the following regions and countries:

North America
- U.S.
- Canada
Europe
- Germany
- France
- Italy
- U.K.
- Russia
- Rest of Europe
Asia-Pacific
- India
- China
- Japan
- Rest of Asia-Pacific
Latin America
- Brazil
- Mexico
- Rest of Latin America
Middle East and Africa
- GCC Countries
- South Africa
- Rest of Middle East and Africa

North America dominated the overall desiccant wheels market in terms of revenue as of 2016. The North American market is backed by the extensive use of desiccant wheels in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. With strong pharmaceuticals and chemical industries, the overall market for desiccant wheels is expected to remain strong in the North American region throughout the forecast period.

In 2016, Asia Pacific trailed North America in the overall desiccant wheels market. The blooming manufacturing sector, coupled with the rising need for HVAC equipment, has escalated the demand for desiccant wheels in this region. A desiccant wheel is a fast, efficient, and economical way to control moisture content. Therefore, these wheels are adopted on a large scale by various end-use applications across the growing economies of Asia Pacific. As a result, the market for the desiccant wheel in Asia-Pacific is expected to surpass the North American market during the forecast period.
