Executive Summary

The growth in the market is mainly attributed to the increasing use of sterilization-grade filters for contamination removal from biologics, biopharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

The industry is also roughly divided into two profit streams: industrial and biopharmaceutical. Biopharmaceutical filtration and labs are the most profitable area by price per volume and replacement. Purity level needs the increasing number of global users, and the constant need to change filters means that the same material will demand a higher price and be continuously reordered.

Overall, the industry is material-specific. The sheer number of competitors shows the maturity of the two most widely used materials: polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyether sulfone (PES). Improvement in the economics of membrane systems has contributed to their rising use in the pharmaceutical industry. For example, the drop in cost has made some companies rely specifically on high-revenue areas such as biopharmaceuticals, with other companies relying on large-volume projects to drive growth.
