Sintered Metal Filters Market Report 2026

The sintered metal filters market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.55 billion in 2025 to $1.67 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in metallurgy industry, expansion of chemical processing plants, increasing power generation requirements, rising demand in medical applications, adoption in electronics manufacturing.

The sintered metal filters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.22 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing environmental regulations, rising demand for high performance industrial filters, growth in renewable energy installations, expansion of chemical and pharmaceutical production, adoption in advanced electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of high precision sintered filters, growing demand for customized porosity levels, increased use of corrosion resistant metal alloys, higher focus on filtration efficiency and durability, expansion of automated filter production systems.

An increase in petroleum refining activities is expected to support the growth of the sintered metal filters market. Petroleum refining, or oil refining, is the industrial process of converting crude oil into a variety of valuable end products. Sintered metal filters play an essential role in improving the efficiency, reliability, and environmental compliance of refining operations by ensuring effective filtration throughout different stages of processing. For example, in March 2024, Statistics Canada, a Canada-based government agency, reported that domestic demand for refined petroleum products rose by 0.5% to 103.1 million cubic meters in 2023, marking the third consecutive year of growth. This increase was driven by notable rises in kerosene jet fuel (+13.6%) and motor gasoline (+2.2%). Therefore, the rise in petroleum refining activity is contributing to the growth of the sintered metal filters market.

Major companies in the sintered metal filters market are advancing technological innovations such as metallic membrane cartridge filters to address the growing need for high-precision, durable, and sustainable filtration solutions across industries including chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage. These filters utilize a sintered metal membrane as the filtration medium, providing fine pore sizes, superior mechanical strength, and improved cleanability compared to traditional mesh or woven filters. For instance, in June 2025, GKN Powder Metallurgy, a Germany-based powder metallurgy company, introduced Metallic Membrane Cartridge Filters, an advanced line of sintered-metal filters designed for demanding industrial applications. These filters feature a seamless metallic membrane that supports sub-micron filtration, enhanced flow rates, and easy cleaning while maintaining strong mechanical durability. They are well-suited for chemical separation, catalyst recovery, and high-precision filtration in the food and pharmaceutical industries, offering improved efficiency and reduced operational downtime. This launch reflects the industry's broader shift toward long-lasting, high-performance filtration technologies.

In November 2025, Parker Hannifin Corporation, a US-based manufacturing company, acquired Filtration Group Corporation for $9.25 billion. This acquisition aims to significantly expand Parker Hannifin's filtration and separation technology portfolio, positioning the company as one of the largest global industrial filtration providers. The move broadens its product offerings, increases recurring aftermarket revenue opportunities, and strengthens its presence across the industrial, HVAC/R, life sciences, and process filtration markets. Filtration Group Corporation is a US-based company specializing in sintered metal filters.
