Global Ultrafiltration Membrane Filtration Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Ultrafiltration membrane is a semi-permeable polymer membrane used in the ultrafiltration process to separate polymer colloids or suspended particles of a certain size from the solution. With pressure as the driving force, the membrane pore size is 1-100nm, which is an asymmetric membrane type. The pore size of the ultrafiltration membrane is between nanofiltration and microfiltration. The pore density is about 10/cm, and the operating pressure difference is 100-1000kPa. It is suitable for removing colloidal particles and macromolecules, and can separate solutions with a concentration of less than 10%. Ultrafiltration membranes can separate larger substances such as colloids, particles, fats, bacteria and proteins, while allowing sugars and other low molecular weight molecules to pass through the membrane.
Generally, various types of membrane modules such as tube type, plate type, roll type, capillary type, etc. are made in advance, and then multiple modules are assembled together to increase the filtration area and facilitate maintenance.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Ultrafiltration Membrane Filtration market finds that the global Ultrafiltration Membrane Filtration market reached a value of USD 2640.08 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 3801.91 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.27% during the forecast period.

COVID-19 affects the normal operation of the industrial chain.

In the current market economy, the upstream and downstream industrial chains have never been so closely linked. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a large number of factories to stop production, isolate employees from work, and obstruct transportation. This will affect the raw material transportation of ultrafiltration membrane manufacturers. As the supply of raw materials is blocked, the normal production of ultrafiltration membranes will also be affected. At the same time, ultrafiltration membranes and downstream products will also be affected by restrictions on sales, making sales more troublesome. Therefore, dealing with the impact of COVID-19 on the supply chain is also one of the important issues that ultrafiltration membrane manufacturers need to deal with.

COVID-19 affects the market for ultrafiltration membranes.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has led to a global economic downturn. Almost all major countries have introduced regulations to restrict travel, which has led to a decline in trade volume. Ultrafiltration membranes are used in medical, industrial, food and other fields. Due to the impact of COVID-19, almost all manufacturers in the downstream market have suffered a huge impact except for the medical industry. Factories were forced to shut down a lot, and shops were also forced to close. This has led to a decline in the sales of ultrafiltration membranes, mainly because of reduced demand. This has an adverse effect on the ultrafiltration membrane industry.

Ultrafiltration membranes can be used in a wide range of applications.

Ultrafiltration membranes have a wide range of applications. In the field of drinking water treatment, ultrafiltration membranes can filter out pollutants in the water and retain minerals. In the field of domestic sewage and industrial wastewater treatment, ultrafiltration membranes can remove solids, phosphorus, nitrogen, and chloride ions in sewage. In food and beverages, ultrafiltration membranes can be sterilized, extract proteins, polysaccharides and other substances, and clarify and concentrate beverages. In the pharmaceutical field, ultrafiltration membranes can separate drugs, such as extracting antibiotics, vitamins, etc., as well as sterilizing and removing toxins. The wide application range of ultrafiltration membranes promotes the growth of market demand for ultrafiltration membranes and is one of the main factors driving the development of the ultrafiltration membrane market.

Extend the service life of organic ultrafiltration membranes.

Organic ultrafiltration membranes are mainly ultrafiltration membranes made of polymer materials. There is a general problem of short service life, which limits the development of the industry. This is also an opportunity for manufacturers of organic ultrafiltration membranes. Manufacturers can develop a longer-life organic material for the manufacture of ultrafiltration membranes to gain stronger market competitiveness.

Region Overview:

In 2022, the share of the Ultrafiltration Membrane Filtration market in Asia Pacific stood at 41.21%.

Company Overview:

DuPont is one of the major players operating in the Ultrafiltration Membrane Filtration market, holding a share of 7.02% in 2022.

DuPont

DuPont de Nemours, Inc., commonly known as DuPont, is an American company formed by the merger of Dow Chemical and E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company on August 31, 2017, and the subsequent spinoffs of Dow Inc. and Corteva.
As a high-growth global innovation leader in technology-based materials and solutions, DuPont offers a variety of products that help transform industries and daily life. Products are used to improve, enhance and protect the entire industry and all over the world.

Litree

Litree Enterprises (Litree) is a leading hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) design and manufacturer. It is a globally recognized leading manufacturer of ultrafiltration membranes and ultrafiltration purification equipment. LITREE UF membrane products are widely used in industrial water treatment, municipal water treatment, rural water supply, residential water purification and wastewater treatment.

Segmentation Overview:

As for product types, the Organic Membrane segment held the largest market share in 2022.

Organic Membrane

Organic ultrafiltration membranes are divided into cellulose esters, polysulfones, polyolefins, fluorine materials, and polyvinyl chloride according to their materials.
Cellulose esters mainly include cellulose diacetate (CA), cellulose triacetate (CTA), mixed cellulose (CA-CN) and so on. Ultrafiltration membranes made of this type of material have good hydrophilicity, good pore-forming properties, a wide range of material sources, stability, and low cost. However, this material has poor acid and alkali resistance and is not suitable for ketones, esters and organic solvents.

Inorganic Membrane

Inorganic Membrane is mainly made of inorganic salt. There are mainly ceramics, glass, alumina (A1203), zirconia (Zr02) and metals. The most prominent advantage of this material of ultrafiltration membrane is high temperature resistance, good resistance to organic solvents, resistance to aging, and renewable. Suitable for special separation.

Application Overview:

By application, the Industrial & Municipal segment occupied the biggest share from 2018 to 2022.
