Nanofiltration Membrane Market by Membrane Material (Ceramic, Metal, Polymeric), Form (Flat Sheet, Spiral-Wound, Tubular), Application - Global Forecast 2024-2030

The Nanofiltration Membrane Market size was estimated at USD 1.28 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 1.38 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 8.33% to reach USD 2.25 billion by 2030.

Nanofiltration membranes to membranes used in the filtration are used to separate particles and molecules based on size and are characterized by a small pore size range of 0.1 to 10 nanometer(nm). NF membranes can be operated at lower pressures and offer selective solute rejection or selection based on both size and charge. They are often made of graphene, nanofibers and carbon nanotubes, cellulose acetate, polysulfone, and polyamide. Nanofiltration membranes are used in wastewater treatment, biotechnological applications, and food and beverage industries. Rising food consumption and consumer demand for diverse food and beverage products have expanded the use of nanofiltration membranes that are used to separate food particles into high and low-concentration streams. The rising number of government initiatives to improve water treatment solutions and sewage treatment options has stimulated demand for efficient filtration and separation techniques. However, the high cost of raw materials used in the production of membranes and the susceptibility of raw materials to supply chain disruptions pose tremendous financial burdens for manufacturers. Additionally, complex regulations pertaining to the food and pharmaceutical industries, the need for stringent quality checks, and the inability of manufacturers to keep pace with regulations raise concerns. Despite such concerns, improvements in materials used in nanofiltration membranes and the integration of AI and ML technology in nanofiltration technologies have significantly expanded the scope of the industry.
