Membrane Filtration Market

Membrane Filtration Market: By Type, Application, Module Design, Membrane Material, and Region

Market Synopsis

The global Membrane Filtration Market is valued at USD 19.62 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach a value of USD 54.2 Billion by 2035 at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 9.68% between 2025 and 2035.

The Membrane Filtration market has been growing at a steady pace over the past few years, fueled by its numerous advantages. These include high purity and consistency of end products, cost-effectiveness of systems, low energy consumption during production and easy maintenance.

Segmentation

Global Membrane Filtration market is segmented on the basis of product type, application, and geography. Based on product type, the market is bifurcated into reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, and nanofiltration. On the basis of application, the global Membrane Filtration market has been segmented into water & wastewater, food & beverages, others.

Growing Adoption of Membrane Filtration Across Numerous End-Use Industry to Drive Membrane Filtration Market

Companies in this market are focusing on developing high performance filtration membranes with greater portability for small-scale industries. This would enable manufacturers to match their production capacity more precisely to demand in these regions. Many companies are also looking to increase their regional presence through distribution agreements with major industry players. Companies are expected to adopt various strategies such as new product launches, distribution expansion, mergers & acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations & agreements among others to strengthen their position in the global Membrane Filtration market during the forecast period.

By Type, Reverse Osmosis to Dominate the Membrane Filtration Market

Rapidly growing demand in the water purification industry is forecast to drive an estimated $5.9 billion global market for reverse osmosis (RO) equipment by 2035, . The water treatment industry is experiencing unprecedented growth. Globally, 20 million people die each year from water borne diseases like cholera or typhoid that are easily treatable through safe drinking water. Demand for wastewater reuse has also grown significantly over the past decade, especially in regions which have struggled with clean tap-water, such as China, India and the Middle East. Without new investment in clean water technology, the National Intelligence Council predicts that by 2025 there will be a 40 percent global shortage of drinking water.

As a result, global market is witnessing increasing demand for RO, which efficiently works by pushing liquid through a semipermeable membrane under high pressure to produce fresh water.

Asia Pacific to Dominate Membrane Filtration Market

Asia Pacific is the largest consumer of membrane filter. There are various reasons for this observation which includes increasing food demand, growing health consciousness among consumers and rise in clean drinking water consumption. Asia Pacific has emerged as the worlds largest market for water purifiers. While effective manufacturing techniques have helped India to corner 25% share of the global consumables market, Filipinos are increasingly switching to membrane-based systems compared to conventional treatment processes like sand filtration, UV disinfection or chlorine treatment. The Indian Governments swachh Bharat' Mission aims at achieving 100% sanitation coverage by 2022. This will create significant opportunities for manufacturers who focus on providing point-of-use (POU) water purification products such as water purifiers and water dispensers.

Moreover, the regions penchant for healthy lifestyle has helped promote the concept of drinking boiled water among consumers. As a result, manufacturers are concentrating on manufacturing point-of-use (POU) boiling water dispensers that bring down fluoride and bacterial contaminants in drinking water by subjecting it to temperatures as high as 120°C using electricity or LPG. Besides gaining popularity in India, these POU systems are also being well received in China and Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
