UAE Membrane Separation Technology Market Size Grows Steadily to Reach USD 1.5 Billion by 2029

UAE membrane separation technology market is flourishing owing to increasing importance of water and wastewater treatment in the country, growing demand for selective separation technology to meet water quality standards, and rapid urbanization.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the UAE membrane separation technology market size at USD 937.27 million in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects the UAE membrane separation technology market size to grow at a CAGR of 7.56% reaching a value of USD 1,549.16 million by 2029. The UAE membrane separation technology market is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period, owing to the increasing use of desalination to ensure safe drinking water and other uses. The UAE relies on desalinated seawater, as the country has little underground water source due to its desert location. The market for membrane separation technology is expected to be driven by rising demand for potable water in the next five years. Also, the UAE membrane separation technology market is expected to be driven by rising demand for clean, usable water and increased adoption of water purifiers for residential and industrial purposes during the next five years. Water conservation initiatives by the government, such as the National Strategy for the Preservation of Water Resources, are underway.

UAE Membrane Separation Technology Market – Overview

Membrane separation technology refers to a method for separating and purifying a specific component from the rest of the mixture. This technology has a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Membrane separation technology's distinctive characteristics, such as durability, permeability, porosity, stability, and selectivity, make it an essential component in a wide range of industrial applications. Membrane separation technology is frequently used in the fields of food and beverage processing, industrial, medical, laboratory, and research to purify, concentrate and sterilize samples.

Opportunity:

Increasing demand from the municipal sector for membrane separation

Rising municipal industry demand for membrane separation is expected to fuel market expansion. Municipalities treat wastewater using membrane separation before supplying it to the public water supply. The rising demand for municipal water brought on by population growth and industrialization is expected to drive growth in the membrane separation market. The growth of the urban population is a significant factor influencing the demand for municipal water and, consequently, the expansion of the membrane separation market.

Challenge:

High costs for installation and operation

The high installation and maintenance costs of membrane separation are anticipated to limit the technology's application. Additionally, it is expected that the rural areas of developing countries will be unable to expand the market due to a lack of awareness of the benefits of this technology. The market growth is expected to be constrained during the forecast period by fluctuating prices of the raw materials used to produce membrane separation.

Impact of COVID-19 on UAE Membrane Separation Technology Market

Major players in the UAE membrane separation technology market were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Trade and manufacturing restrictions in some economies have made it difficult to supply the raw materials and finished products needed for membrane separation technology. To lessen the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, important market participants are putting new strategies into practice. By the second half of the year, mining operations should return to normal throughout the UAE as businesses concentrate on doing so. As lockdowns in various areas around the UAE are extended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this situation is anticipated to continue.

UAE Membrane Separation Technology Market – By Technology

UAE membrane separation technology market is segmented by technology into Microfiltration, Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration, Reverse Osmosis, and Others. The reverse osmosis segment has the largest market share due to its low cost and widespread use in residential and commercial applications. The growing use of reverse osmosis as a thermal desalination process substitute is also expected to drive segment growth. Nanofiltration is the technology with the fastest-growing market due to its cumulative application in producing ultrapure water for the electronics industry by separating minute amounts of salts and other dissolved solutes from previously treated water.

Competitive Landscape

UAE membrane separation technology market is fiercely competitive. Prominent players in the market include 3M Company, Asahi Kasei Corporation, DuPont de Nemours, Inc, SUEZ, Merck KGaA, Toray Industries Inc., Pentair plc, and Hydranautics.
