Driver: Increasing awareness about water & wastewater treatment
Water is indispensable for human survival and is a vital component of industrial progress. As populations grow and industries expand, the demand for water rises, necessitating the use of membranes in water and wastewater treatment processes. Concerns regarding wastewater disposal and the quality of drinking water further fuel the demand for membrane technology. Additionally, increasing awareness of personal hygiene drives the need for clean drinking water, consequently boosting the demand for membrane-based water treatment solutions. The scarcity of pure water has created opportunities for membrane applications in brackish water purification plants. Stringent purity standards and environmental regulations governing drinking water and industrial wastewater discharge drive extensive membrane-based water and wastewater treatment activities. In the United States, legislation mandates the provision of clean and ample water to citizens, while the European Union’s bathing water standards policy ensures public health protection through clean bathing water regulations. These regulatory measures are expected to escalate water and wastewater treatment processes worldwide.
By application, industrial processing is the fastest growing application in the membranes market, in 2023.
The rapid growth of industrial processing in the membranes market can be attributed to several factors. Industries are increasingly acknowledging the significance of water and resource conservation, spurred by sustainability goals and regulatory mandates. Membrane technologies provide efficient solutions for water purification, wastewater treatment, and process stream separation, aligning well with these sustainability objectives. Advancements in membrane materials and manufacturing processes have enhanced the performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of membrane systems, making them more appealing for industrial use. These advancements have spurred greater adoption of membranes in diverse industrial processes, including chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage production, and electronics manufacturing. Moreover, the adaptability of membrane technologies enables tailored solutions to address specific industrial requirements, whether it involves removing contaminants, separating valuable products, or purifying process water. This versatility makes membranes suitable for a broad spectrum of industrial applications, thereby propelling their growth within this sector.
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share in the membranes market, in terms of value.
Asia Pacific dominates the membrane market with the largest market share for several compelling reasons. Firstly, rapid industrialization and urbanization in countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asian nations have led to increased demand for clean water, both for industrial processes and potable use. This surge in demand has driven the adoption of membrane technologies for water treatment and purification, bolstering the market growth. Secondly, the region faces significant challenges related to water scarcity and pollution, exacerbated by population growth and industrial activities. Governments and industries are increasingly investing in advanced water treatment solutions, including membranes, to address these challenges effectively. Stringent environmental regulations further drive the adoption of membrane technologies for wastewater treatment and resource recovery. Additionally, the expanding healthcare sector in Asia Pacific, particularly in countries like India and China, drives the demand for membranes in pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. Membrane technologies play a crucial role in processes such as drug purification, sterile filtration, and bioreactor operations, contributing to market growth.
