The Nanofiltration Market was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 3.4 billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 17.60%. Nanofiltration is a pressure-driven, membrane-based separation technology that uses membranes to filter and retain particles and molecules with dimensions from 1 nm to 10 nm. The report covers three material types of nanofiltration membranes: organic, inorganic, and hybrid. Of these, organic membranes account for the majority of the market. The inorganic segment is largely about the inclusion of ceramic and metallic nanofiltration membranes.

The types of membrane configurations offer varying degrees of adaptability to changing feed conditions. By configuration, the market is divided into spiral wound and tubular, hollow fiber, and plate-and-frame. Among these, the spiral wound and tubular segment accounted for 92.7% of the market in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.7%.

The market's application segment consists of water and wastewater treatment, food and beverages, life sciences, chemical and petrochemicals, and others. Of these, the water and wastewater treatment segment accounted for 76% of the market in 2023, followed by food and beverages with not more than 9.1% of the total market value in 2023.
