What is the Historic and Current Scenario of the Membrane Separation Technology Market?
The membrane separation technology market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for membrane separation technology has seen significant growth in recent years. It is projected to expand from a size of $26.45 billion in 2024 to $28.91 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The expansion during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as concerns over water scarcity, effectiveness of industrial processes, environmental regulations, growth in the biopharmaceutical industry, and a rising demand for renewable energy.
How Does the Forecast Look for the Membrane Separation Technology Market in the Coming Years?
The Membrane Separation Technology market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the forthcoming years, the market size for membrane separation technology is predicted to experience substantial growth, with projected expansion to $41.63 billion in 2029, maintaining a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%.
This predicted growth in the upcoming period can be tied to the growing demand for wastewater treatment, the rise of novel biotechnology applications, focus on renewable energy, swift growth in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, and widening of the dairy sector. Notable trends anticipated during the forecast period encompass integration with IoT and AI, escalating demand in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sectors, emphasis on sustainable approaches, growing use in food and beverage processing, and progress in membrane materials.
What Are The Leading Drivers Of Growth In The Membrane Separation Technology Market?
The increasing need for pure and uncontaminated drinking water is predicted to drive the expansion of the membrane separation technology market in the near future. Water purification, desalination, and wastewater treatment have increasingly employed membrane separation systems. Water recovery is significantly enhanced by increasing feed water pressure and temperature. The key factors contributing to this growth are health risks associated with contaminants such as PFAS, rapid urbanization exceeding infrastructure capabilities, a push for environmental consciousness leading to decreased bottled water consumption, and progress in membrane technology. For instance, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, reported in September 2023 that 73% of the world population, or 6 billion individuals, had access to a safely managed drinking water service in 2022. This signifies that the water source was on their property, accessible any time it was needed, and devoid of contamination. Consequently, the escalating demand for pure and untainted drinking water is fuelling the expansion of the membrane separation technology market.
