The bag filter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.71 billion in 2025 to $9.26 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to stricter industrial emission regulations, expansion of cement and mineral processing plants, increasing installation in chemical facilities, growth of food processing industries, rising awareness of workplace air quality.

The bag filter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.88 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing enforcement of environmental standards, rising investments in pollution control equipment, expansion of industrial manufacturing capacity, growing adoption of smart filtration monitoring, increasing focus on sustainable industrial operations. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of advanced dust collection systems, rising demand for high-efficiency filtration media, growing integration of automated cleaning mechanisms, expansion of emission control infrastructure, enhanced focus on regulatory compliance.

The expanding cement and mining industries are significantly driving the growth of the bag filter market. These industries generate substantial particulate matter during operations, creating a strong demand for bag filters to control emissions and comply with environmental regulations. For instance, in October 2024, according to the US-Saudi Business Council, a US-based non-profit organization, the US mining sector contributed approximately $85 billion to national GDP in 2023 and directly employed around 400,000 workers, with many more indirectly supported across related industries. Therefore, the growth of cement and mining sectors is propelling the bag filter market.

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.
