The global melt-blown polypropylene filters market size is estimated to reach USD 2.85 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising demand for nonwoven filter media in water purification, in developing countries, such as China and India, is expected to be the major factor driving the global market. Both the countries are expected to increase their desalination capacity by about 10 million liter per day in the coming decade.
Rising concerns about health risks associated with drinking contaminated water are projected to benefit the global market. Increasing scarcity of water is driving the demand for water desalination projects. As per a report published in 2016 by the International Desalination Association, there were about 17,000 desalination plants located across 150 countries, which provide safe drinking water to over 300 million people worldwide. In food & beverages segment, melt-blown polypropylene filters are used for the processing of fruit juices and soft drinks to ensure the purity of the product.
Rising awareness about high-efficiency filtration procedures among F&B manufacturers is projected to propel market growth over the next few years. The 3M Company, Parker Hannifin Corp., Pall Corp., Eaton Corp. plc, Lenntech B.V., and Suez SA are some of the leading melt-blown polypropylene filter manufacturing companies. American Melt Blown & Filtration, Shanghai Melko Filtration Co., Ltd., and Delta Pure Filtration are some of the key product distributors.
