The bag filter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.39 billion in 2024 to $8.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to material and design enhancements, operational cost considerations, government support and incentives, waste management practices, health concerns.

The bag filter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.45 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to industry expansion, global focus on air quality, energy efficiency demands, urbanization and industrial growth, customization and adaptability, digital integration. Major trends in the forecast period include stringent environmental regulations, industrial growth, focus on air quality, technological advancements.

The increase in coal-fired generation is anticipated to drive the growth of the bag filter market. Coal-fired generation refers to facilities that burn coal to produce steam for electricity generation. Bag filters, or baghouses, are tube-shaped filter bags utilized in coal-fired plants to filter large volumes of ash-laden fuel gas, thereby reducing air pollution. For example, in September 2023, a report from the Energy Information Administration, a US government organization, indicated that in 2022, the United States consumed approximately 513 million short tons of coal, which accounted for about 9.8% of the country’s total energy consumption for that year, measured by energy content. Therefore, the rise in coal-fired generation is expected to boost the growth of the bag filter market.

The expansion of the cement and mining industries is significantly contributing to the growth of the bag filter market going forward. Industries like cement manufacturing and mining produce particulate matter during their operations, which drives the demand for bag filters to manage emissions and adhere to environmental standards. For instance, according to a February 2023 report from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), a government agency that covers various disciplines such as biology, geography, geology, and hydrology, US mines generated approximately $98.2 billion in nonfuel mineral commodities in 2022, reflecting a $3.6 billion increase from the revised total of $94.6 billion in 2021. Therefore, the expanding cement and mining industries will propel 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.

A bag filter is a dust control device designed to eliminate dust from exhaust gases generated by industrial processes. It is utilized for clarifying or filtering fluids that carry a relatively low particle load requiring removal.

The primary types of bag filters include pulse jet, reverse air, and shake. A pulse jet bag filter, also known as a pulse jet dust collector, is a self-cleaning dry filtration system. The filtering media can be nonwoven, woven, or other types, and the fluids involved can be air or liquid. Various end-users of bag filters include industries such as chemical and petrochemical, food processing, mineral processing, cement production, automotive manufacturing, and other sectors.
