Refinery and Petrochemical Filtration Market Report 2026

The refinery and petrochemical filtration market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.97 billion in 2025 to $5.24 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of refinery operations, expansion of petrochemical production, need for equipment protection, regulatory quality standards, rising processed fuel demand.

The refinery and petrochemical filtration market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.54 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to investments in refinery upgrades, demand for cleaner fuels, focus on operational efficiency, expansion of petrochemical complexes, adoption of advanced filtration technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for high efficiency filtration systems, increasing focus on product purity standards, growth in liquid gas separation applications, expansion of refining and petrochemical capacity, shift toward advanced filter media.

The increasing demand for refined petroleum products is poised to drive the growth of the refinery and petrochemical filtration markets in the foreseeable future. Refined petroleum products, derived from the processing of crude oil, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet fuel, undergo purification and distillation to meet specific consumer and industrial requirements. Refinery and petrochemical filtration processes play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of refined petroleum products. Initial filtration focuses on removing impurities from crude oil, while petrochemical filtration refines the products, making them suitable for a broad range of applications, from fuels to chemicals. For example, in March 2023, as reported by Statistique Canada, the production of refined petroleum products in 2022 increased by 0.8% compared to the previous year, totaling 112.3 million cubic meters. This growth was primarily driven by increases in kerosene-type jet fuel (+44.7%) and distillate fuel oil (+2.1%). Consequently, the rising demand for refined petroleum products is expected to fuel the growth of the refinery and petrochemical filtration markets.

Leading companies in the refinery and petrochemical filtration markets are focusing on innovative filtration solutions to improve efficiency and drainage performance, thereby gaining a competitive edge. Filtration solutions are advanced technologies designed to effectively remove contaminants and purify gases or liquids in processes such as carbon capture, ensuring high-quality outcomes and better operational efficiency. For example, in September 2024, Cleanova, a US-based filtration solutions provider, introduced Cleanova.C-CLEAN, an advanced filtration system tailored for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) applications. This solution meets the critical need for high-purity carbon dioxide (CO2) by providing customized filtration technologies that efficiently remove solid and liquid contaminants from feed gases. The product line includes state-of-the-art components such as UNIQ-MAX high-capacity filters, liquid/gas coalescers, activated carbon filters, and oil mist eliminators, all designed to enhance operational efficiency and support decarbonization efforts. Cleanova.C-CLEAN aims to help industries achieve their sustainability goals while reducing their environmental impact by optimizing carbon capture processes.
