Membrane separation is one of the most
popular technologies used for separating materials through pores or minute
gaps. It is a thin layer material with selective penetration functions used for
concentration, purification and separation. Membrane separation technique
facilitates several industries to reuse wastewater and reduce sewage footprint from
the fresh water resources. Separating membrane is made up of organic or
inorganic raw materials. Inorganic materials are usually metal and ceramic;
whereas, organic materials mainly refer to all types of chemical substances.
Ultrafiltration and microfiltration membranes are usually made from
polysulfone, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and
others.
The demand for clean processed
drinking water is propelling, attributed to mandatory government regulations
for providing clean processed drinking water to consumers. Adherence of environmental
standards required by governments in the area of water scarcity, has led to the
demand for better water treatment techniques, including membrane separation
method. Expanding usage of ultrafiltration processes and microfiltration
membranes as pre-filters for reverse osmosis are expected to drive membrane
separation market growth. Various advantages of membrane separation
technologies over conventional separation technologies include low energy
consumption, easy installation, gentle product treatment, and high selectivity.
Based on type of material used, global
membrane separation market can be divided as polymeric membranes and non-polymeric
membranes. Polymeric membranes include fluoropolymer, cellulosic, polyamide,
polysulfone and polyethersulfone and other polymeric membranes. Non-polymeric
membranes include titania, alumina, zirconia and other polymeric membranes.
Based on products, global membrane
separation market can be segmented as nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse
osmosis, microfiltration, direct osmosis, dialysis and electrodialysis and
others. Various other emerging membrane technologies include membrane modules
and membrane bio-detectors.
On the basis of end user application,
membrane separation market can be categorized as chemicals, industrial,
healthcare, water, and, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical and
medical, desalination and waste water treatment.
Some of the factors escalating the
growth of global membrane separation market are increasing industrialization,
increasing demand from municipal sector, stringent environmental norms and
regulations, growing needs and interest in water reuse, recycling, treatment of
wastewater sources, and growth of population in water stressed areas.
Rise of nano-filtration applications
for supplying affordable clean water, increasing number of hybrid desalination
plants, growing consumption of ultrapure water, membrane separation methods
gaining hold in medical applications, and application of membrane separation in
microfiltration are some of the major trends seen in global membrane separation
market in recent years. Swing towards potable and chemical free water treatment
in industrial sector coupled with shortage of drinking water sources provides
further growth opportunity to the global membrane separation market.
Various other conventional water
cleaning methods, high operational and installation cost of membrane separation
and insufficient funds in developing countries may restrict the growth of
global membrane separation market.
Geographically, Europe dominated the
global membrane separation market. Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness high
growth during the coming years, owing to rapidly developing industrial sectors,
strict regulations on waste water treatment and others. The North America membrane
separation market is expected to be driven by advancements and development
initiatives for boosting and improving the existing membrane separation
techniques.
Some of the major competitors in
membrane separation market include Polypore International, Inc., Evoqua Water
Technologies LLC, Applied Membranes, Inc., Koch Membrane, Parker-Hannifin
Corporation, Gore (WL) & Associates Incorporated, Donaldson Company Inc.,
Permionics Membranes Private Ltd., Tianjin Motimo Membrane Technology Ltd.,
Nitto Denko Corporation.
