The string wound filter materials market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.74 billion in 2023 to $1.87 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The historical growth can be attributed to concerns about water quality, industrial processes, regulatory compliance, wastewater treatment, and a heightened demand for string wound filters.

The string wound filter materials market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.51 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to factors such as global water scarcity, industrial expansion, changing filtration requirements, increased consumer education and market awareness, and evolving environmental regulations. Key trends in the forecast period include the filtration of microplastics, the development of customized filter solutions, advancements in wastewater treatment, the integration of smart filtration technologies, and the use of advanced filter media.

The anticipated increase in the demand for wastewater treatment is set to drive the growth of the string wound filter materials market in the upcoming forecast period. Wastewater treatment involves the removal of pollutants from wastewater or sewage, transforming it into effluent suitable for addition to the water supply with minimal environmental impact. String wound filter materials play a crucial role in wastewater treatment, as they are widely used and highly effective. String wound water filters, a type of depth filter, not only capture dirt on the surface but extend to the core. As highlighted in a 2021-2022 report from Water.org, nearly 1.5 times the population of the United States, represented by households without a water connection, relies on surface water, such as rivers, for their basic needs. The report also indicates that 122 million people make daily trips to collect water, with 282 million people spending more than 30 minutes on this task regularly. Moreover, 771 million Americans, or one in ten, lack access to clean water. Consequently, the increasing need for wastewater treatment is a driving force behind the growth of the string wound filter materials market.

The growing demand for clean drinking water is expected to propel the string wound filter materials market in the future. Clean water, free from contaminants, pollutants, harmful bacteria, and pathogens, is essential for human consumption. String wound filter materials play a vital role in purifying water by removing particulates and impurities. According to a report from the U.N. University's Institute for Water, Environment, and Health in 2023, the bottled water market witnessed a 73% growth between 2010 and 2020, and consumption is projected to increase from approximately 350 billion liters in 2021 to an estimated 460 billion liters by 2030. Thus, the rising demand for clean drinking water is a key driver for the string wound filter materials market.

Technological advancements are a prominent trend gaining traction in the string wound filter materials market. Major companies in this sector are actively developing technological solutions for string wound filter materials. For instance, Gopani, an Indian filter cartridge manufacturer, offers Clarywound 3X string wound filter cartridges, boasting three times the filtration efficiency of regular wound filter cartridges. These cartridges are produced using a patented CNC machining process that creates a true multi-layered micronic gradient across five separate cartridges.

Innovation in fiber-based filtering media to offer environmentally friendly alternatives is another noteworthy trend in the string wound filter materials market. Fiber-based filtering media, composed of fibers like cellulose, glass, or synthetic fibers arranged in a specific pattern, provides an eco-friendly filtering solution. Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc., a US-based manufacturer, launched Evolute in August 2021, a sustainable fiber-based filtering media designed for tobacco products. This launch addresses the growing demand for environmentally friendly alternatives, complying with EU directives, reducing CO2 emissions, degrading quickly, and being TiO2-free.

In September 2021, Pentair PLC, an Australia-based water treatment company, signed a definitive agreement to acquire Pleatco for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Pentair aims to expand its range of replacement filter products available through both Pleatco's and Pentair's distribution channels for pools and spas. Pleatco, a US-based manufacturer specializing in clean air and water filtration technology, is the target of this acquisition.
