Bag Filter Global Market Report 2024

The global bag filter market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.02 billion in 2023 to $8.46 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including enhancements in material and design, considerations of operational costs, government support and incentives, practices related to waste management, and growing concerns about health.

The global bag filter market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.71 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the expansion of the industry, a global emphasis on air quality, increased demands for energy efficiency, the ongoing trends of urbanization and industrial growth, the importance of customization and adaptability, and the integration of digital technologies. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass compliance with stringent environmental regulations, sustained industrial growth, a heightened focus on air quality, and continuous technological advancements in the sector.

The surge in coal-fired generation is anticipated to drive the expansion of the bag filter market. Coal-fired generation facilities, which use coal combustion to produce steam for electricity, heavily rely on bag filters or baghouses. These tube-shaped filter bags efficiently capture ash-laden fuel gas, playing a crucial role in reducing air pollution. As per the International Energy Agency's report, global coal-fired generation escalated by 15% in 2021 compared to a 4.6% decline in the first half of 2020. Consequently, the growth in coal-fired generation is poised to significantly boost the bag filter market.

The burgeoning cement and mining sectors are notably contributing to the upward trajectory of the bag filter market. Industries like cement manufacturing and mining, known for generating particulate matter in their operations, drive the demand for bag filters to curb emissions and comply with environmental regulations. According to the February 2023 report by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), US mines yielded approximately $98.2 billion in nonfuel mineral commodities in 2022, marking a $3.6 billion increase from the revised total of $94.6 billion in 2021. Hence, the flourishing cement and mining industries are expected to be pivotal in propelling the growth of the bag filter market.

Technological innovation stands out as a significant trend within the bag filter market. Key market players are focused on developing cutting-edge technologies to bolster their market standing. For instance, in August 2023, Camfil, a Sweden-based company specializing in air filters and clean air products, introduced the Hi-Flo next generation bag filters. This latest Hi-Flo series is engineered to deliver up to 30% lower energy consumption compared to industry standards and up to 12% less energy usage than previous models. The bag filter's design maximizes filter media utilization through conical pockets, sophisticated seam design, and stitching techniques, ensuring air dispersion across the entire filter surface.

Prominent entities within the bag filter market are directing their efforts towards crafting energy-efficient filters to enhance the efficacy of their bag filter product lines. The growing emphasis on energy efficiency in industrial operations has led to a heightened interest in bag filters featuring low pressure drops, effectively reducing the energy consumption linked to air filtration systems. For instance, in February 2023, JASUN Envirocare, a UK-based air filter supplier, introduced a new line of energy-saving synthetic bag filters manufactured in the UK. The Jenergie series, designed by this Somerset-based manufacturer, boasts remarkable energy ratings, minimal pressure drop, and superior filtration efficiency, resulting in substantial cost savings and positive environmental impacts for consumers.

In July 2023, The Micronics Engineered Filtration Group, a US-based provider of filtration solutions, completed the acquisition of AFT, a filter media division of FLSmidth. This strategic move significantly expands Micronics' array of engineered filtration solutions, enhancing its ability to cater to customers' baghouse filtration requirements across industries such as cement, lime, coal-fired power utilities, energy from waste, co-generation, mining, and minerals. AFT, a US-based provider specializing in dry filtration solutions encompassing bag filters, brings expertise in high-temperature technical felts, woven filter media, and membrane finishes crucial for maintaining environmental compliance, especially with stringent PM2.5 emission regulations. This acquisition reinforces Micronics' position in the market while augmenting its offerings for diverse industry applications.
