Global Membrane Separation Technologies
Demand for membrane separation products worldwide is being impacted by a number of factors: water conservation efforts; increasing performance standards; diversifying product mix; and competition from conventional filtration products. Polymeric materials – including fluoropolymers, polyamide, cellulosic materials, and polysulfone and polyethersulfone – will continue to dominate the global membrane market due to their lower initial costs and greater product flexibility. Demand in every product category is expected to show healthy growth as manufacturing output in key industries expands in low- to middle-income regions and as purity standards for water and manufactured goods in more mature regional markets increase. This new study discusses how these factors will impact sales of membrane separation products going forward.

Scope of the Report
This Freedonia industry study analyzes the global membrane industry. It presents historical demand data (2008, 2013, and 2018) and forecasts (2023) by product (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis), material (polymeric and nonpolymeric), and market (water treatment, wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical and medical, chemical processing, commercial and consumer water treatment, and electronics processing). The study also evaluates company market share and competitive analysis on industry competitors including Asahi Kasei, Danaher, Merck, SUEZ, 3M, and Toray Industries.
