Membrane Filtration Market Global Market Report 2024

The membrane filtration market market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $16.6 billion in 2023 to $18.01 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the demand for water and wastewater treatment, applications in pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, requirements of the food and beverage industry, expansion of the dairy industry, and adherence to environmental regulations.

The membrane filtration market market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $24.44 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of the biopharmaceutical industry, an increased demand for processed foods, advancements in healthcare practices, technological innovations in filtration methods, and the overall growth in the global population. Significant trends expected in this forecast period include the expansion of applications in pharmaceutical and biotechnology, a growing demand for membrane bioreactors in wastewater treatment, the integration of membrane filtration in food and beverage processing, advancements in hollow fiber membrane technology, and an increasing use of membrane filtration in the healthcare sector.

The growth of the membrane filtration market is expected to be driven by the increasing occurrences of water pollution and waterborne diseases. Water pollution arises when toxic substances, including chemical products or microorganisms, are discharged into bodies of water, leading to a scarcity of clean and potable water. This surge in water pollution contributes to a rise in waterborne diseases. Membrane filtration emerges as a viable solution for water treatment through microfiltration or ultrafiltration, enhancing water quality by eliminating contaminants. For instance, in July 2023, the Environment Agency reported 2,026 incidents of sewage and water supply infrastructure issues, signifying a notable increase from the 1,883 incidents reported in 2021. Out of these, 368 cases affected water supply assets, with a significant majority (345) stemming from the water distribution system, marking a considerable rise from the 189 cases reported in 2021. Thus, the escalating cases of water pollution and waterborne diseases are set to fuel the growth of the membrane filtration market.

The membrane filtration market is expected to experience growth due to the rising demand for pharmaceutical products. Pharmaceutical products encompass substances formulated to prevent, diagnose, or treat medical conditions. Membrane filtration plays a pivotal role in the pharmaceutical industry by ensuring the removal of contaminants, sterilizing liquids, and facilitating purification processes, thereby maintaining stringent quality and safety standards. For example, in February 2023, the Merck Group reported a 22% increase in pharmaceutical product sales for the year 2022, amounting to $59.3 billion over the full year 2021. Consequently, the heightened demand for pharmaceutical products is a driving force behind the growth of the membrane filtration market.

A key trend gaining traction in the membrane filtration market is technological advancement. There is an increasing demand for ozone membrane filtration, including ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and forward osmosis, to enhance water quality by removing contaminants. Major companies in the membrane filtration market are actively innovating new technologies to maintain their market standing. For instance, in April 2021, Koch Separation Solutions launched INDU-COR™ HD (High Density), an upgraded technology designed to more effectively treat various industrial waste streams. INDU-COR HD offers a higher packing density of up to 300%, making crossflow filtration more cost-effective and space-efficient. The 8mm PVDF tubule configuration of INDU-COR HD complements the existing product lines of KSS, including FEG PLUS, ULTRA-CORTM, and INDU-COR.

Leading companies in the membrane filtration market are increasingly focusing on introducing multipurpose membrane filtration to gain a competitive advantage. Multipurpose membrane filtration involves the versatile application of membrane-based separation technologies across various industries and processes. For instance, in November 2022, Alfa Laval AB launched a new multipurpose membrane filtration system designed to provide efficient and cost-effective solutions for diverse industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and biotech. The system, known for its ease of installation, operation, and maintenance, is expected to deliver high-quality filtration performance and reliability.

In January 2023, Ingersoll Rand acquired SPX Flow's air treatment business for $525 million, aiming to expand its product offering in the broader compressor ecosystem. SPX Flow, a membrane filtration technologies provider, contributes to the membrane filtration market.
