Global Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Membrane aerated biofilm reactors (MABRs) represent a new technology for aerobic wastewater treatment. Oxygen diffuses through a gas permeable membrane into the biofilm where oxidation of pollutants, supplied on the biofilm side of the membrane, takes place.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) market finds that the global Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) market reached a value of USD 65.82 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 207.66 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 21.11% during the forecast period.

Superior performance

Compared with the traditional sewage treatment technology, MABRs technology not only has the effectiveness and thoroughness of biological treatment technology, but also has the selectivity and high efficiency of membrane separation technology, and realizes the maximum removal of harmful substances in sewage, which has pollution Due to its remarkable advantages such as extremely high waste removal efficiency, small footprint, small excess sludge output, and convenient operation and management, it has become the most attractive and competitive technology in the field of urban sewage and industrial wastewater treatment and reuse, and has attracted widespread attention. Compared with traditional biological sewage treatment technology, it is more energy-saving and emission-reducing. Membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) is considered as an innovative technology to solve the aeration problem of traditional bioreactors. MABR uses a membrane to provide oxygen to a biofilm growing on the surface of the membrane. MABRs allow bubble-free aeration with high oxygen transfer rates, which reduces energy requirements and costs. Furthermore, the unique function of back-diffusion creates a layered biofilm structure that allows simultaneous nitrification-denitrification processes in a single MABR. MABRs technology provides an opportunity for the development of the industry with superior wastewater treatment technology.

Demand for sewage treatment is strong

With the increase of urbanization rate, economic development and population increase, the global wastewater production continues to rise. At present, global wastewater production is about 42 billion cubic meters per year, and water scarcity and water pollution are increasingly threatening economic and social security, while there is a growing global focus on sustainable development and cleaner production. MABRs technology as a new sewage treatment technology, strong downstream demand, policy support to promote the rapid development of this industry market. With the development of economy, in order to cope with the increasingly serious problem of water pollution, various countries have formulated green and environmental protection policies for sewage treatment. For example, China issued a plan on the protection of soil, groundwater and rural ecological environment in the 14th Five-Year Plan in 2021, proposing that by 2025, the overall quality of groundwater environment will remain stable. The United States has established wastewater guidelines that set national regulatory standards for effluent discharges to surface water and municipal wastewater treatment plants. The European Union has established the Municipal Wastewater Directive, which sets out time plans for infrastructure to collect and treat wastewater. The increasing severity of sewage problems has promoted the formulation of national policies, and the strong downstream demand and policy support are the key drivers for the development of the industry.
