The string wound filter materials market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size of string wound filter materials has witnessed robust growth. The market, standing at $1.86 billion in 2024, is set to increase to $1.99 billion in 2025, showcasing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%.
The growth experienced during the historical period is linked with factors such as concerns over water quality, industrial operations, regulatory conformity, wastewater management, along with an escalating demand for string wound filters.
The string wound filter materials market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations for the string wound filter materials market indicate robust expansion in the coming years. Anticipated to achieve a value of $2.75 billion in 2029, it is estimated to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%.
This projected growth is partly due to worldwide water shortages, industrial growth, changing filtration requirements, increased public understanding, and market consciousness, in addition to environmental legislation. Notable trends for this forecast period encompass microplastic filtration, personalized filter solutions, waste water treatment, intelligent filtration, and sophisticated filter media.
The anticipated growth of the string wound filter materials market is expected to be spurred by the rising necessity for wastewater treatment in the forecast period. This treatment involves the eradication of impurities from sewage or wastewater, transforming it into effluent that could be reintroduced into the water supply with reduced environmental impact. The wide use and effectiveness of string wound filter materials in wastewater treatment cannot be overemphasized. Unlike surface filters, string wound water filters, a type of depth filter, can trap dirt both on the surface and deep within. An illustrative example of this market's growth is an increase in domestic wastewater treatment registrations in May 2024. This data was provided by An Phriomh-Oifig Staidrimh, a government body in Ireland, who recorded an increase in registrations from 486,904 in 2022 to 492,359 in 2023. This translates to a growth of 5,455 registrations. As a result, the thriving demand for wastewater treatment propels the expansion of the string wound filter materials market.
