What is Global Heavy Water (D20) Market?
The Global Heavy Water (D20) Market is a specialized and in-depth study of the heavy water industry with a focus on the global market trend. Heavy water, also known as deuterium oxide (D2O), is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium, rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope that makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water. The presence of deuterium gives the chemical different nuclear properties, and the increase of mass gives it different physical and chemical properties when compared to normal water. The global market for heavy water is growing due to its increasing demand in various applications such as nuclear reactors, research & development in physical and biological sciences, and in pharmaceuticals. However, the market faces challenges such as high cost of production and stringent government regulations. Despite these challenges, the market is expected to grow due to increasing research activities in the field of nuclear energy and growing demand from emerging economies.
