The industrial filters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.59 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stricter emission standards, growth of clean manufacturing, adoption of smart filtration systems, expansion of wastewater treatment, industrial automation growth. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of advanced filtration media, rising demand for air and water purification, growth of industrial emission control, expansion of liquid filtration applications, integration of smart filter monitoring.

Rapid industrialization and urbanization are expected to drive the growth of the industrial filter market going forward. Industrialization refers to the development of manufacturing industries, whereas urbanization relates to the increasing population in urban areas. Industrial oils, gases, and lubricants are filtered or separated using industrial filters during operations. Rapid industrialization, urbanization, and growing populations in emerging countries are significantly increasing the need for consumer products, which in turn accelerates industrial development and boosts demand for filtration solutions. For instance, in July 2024, according to the US Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, the value of construction operations rose from $2.01 trillion in May 2023 to $2.14 trillion in May 2024. Additionally, in 2024, according to the United Nations Population Fund, a US-based human rights group, more than half of the global population now lives in urban areas, with projections indicating this will reach around 5 billion by 2030, primarily in Africa and Asia. This ongoing urbanization is expected to drive major social, economic, and environmental transformations. Therefore, rapid urbanization and industrialization are boosting the industrial filter market.

Leading companies in the industrial filter market are focusing on developing technological solutions like renewable and sustainable filter media to improve efficiency and minimize environmental impact in industrial processes. Renewable and sustainable filter media are filtration materials made from renewable resources that can either be recycled or biodegraded. These materials aim to reduce environmental impact while ensuring high performance and efficiency across various industrial applications. For example, in April 2023, Ahlstrom, a Finland-based leader in fiber-based materials, introduced Ahlstrom ECO, an eco-friendly packaging solution that utilizes renewable lignin-based materials. This innovation significantly decreases the carbon footprint and reliance on fossil fuels in automotive filter production. Additionally, it reduces formaldehyde emissions during manufacturing while maintaining high performance and durability standards.

In September 2025, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a US-based life sciences and technology company, acquired Solventum’s purification and filtration business for $4 billion. Through this acquisition, Thermo Fisher Scientific aims to expand its bioprocessing and industrial capabilities by integrating Solventum’s purification and filtration technologies into its global operations, strengthening its service offerings for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and industrial customers. Solventum is a UK-based technology company specializing in purification and filtration systems for bioprocessing and industrial applications.
