Membrane separation technology is widely used for water and wastewater treatment. Water
quality is emerging as a global concern, as degradation of water quality will impact the social
and economic landscape of the world.
It is estimated that about 50% of the worlds population will not have enough drinking water by
2050 owing to environmental pollution and rise in population. According to the United Nations
World Water Development Report 2012, around 3.5 million deaths occur each year due to
inadequate water supply, especially in developing economies.
The oil and petroleum industries in the Gulf and European countries such as Germany and Italy
have stressed on membrane separation technology, which has contributed towards the growth of
the market. Membrane separation techniques are also used in the healthcare sector. Rising
interest in water reuse and wastewater treatment to curb pollution has propelled the overall
membrane separation market.
However, membrane separation processes require high operational and installation costs, owing
to the need for cleaning and maintenance of the tubular membranes and plate and frame
membranes. Fouling on a membrane requires a combination of cleaning techniques. In
developing economies, lack of funds has negatively impacted the membrane separation market
and has led to the adoption of other low-cost water cleaning processes. Some of the low-cost
alternatives used to treat drinking water are coagulation and flocculation, aeration, chemical
disinfection, and solar disinfection. Desalination and disinfection systems powered by
renewable energy are increasingly adopted in developing economies.
Chemical water treatments are perceived as an environmentally unclean technology with high
associated disposal costs. A shift towards chemical-free water treatment processes in various
industries has created new opportunities for the global membrane separation market.
Market History:
Mandatory government regulations and increasing demand for clean processed drinking
water is propelling the water processing industry to provide the public with clean processed
drinking water free of impurity. Providing growth opportunity for water treatment industry
among which, Membrane separation technology is one of the most popular methods used
for cleaning water. Shifting from chemical to physical treatments of water is also a major
driver as chemical treatments are perceived as an environmentally unclean technology with
associated disposal costs. Additional awareness of water scarcity has influenced the demand
for water reuse in water stressed areas. Governments and municipal authorities are
increasingly waking up to the effects of environmental degradation on the economy.
Worldwide industrial expansion and growing population are propelling the demand for better
water treatment technology, providing growth opportunity for the global market of
membrane separation technology. Additionally, the oil and petroleum industry is well
established in the gulf and European countries such as Italy and Germany which involve
membrane separation technology for liquid separation. Expansion of such industry is
expected to increase the overall demand for membrane separation technology. Membrane
separation technology is bifurcated into four major processes, microfiltration, ultrafiltration,
nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. Microfiltration dominates the market with more than
35% global market share in 2012. Whereas water & wastewater dominates the end-user
market with 36% global market shares in 2012. The global membrane separation market
grew from USD 19.0 billion in 2010 to USD 21.2 billion in 2013.
European membrane market (largest in 2013) is expected to reach USD 13.8 billion in 2019,
growing at a CAGR of 9.6%. In 2012 water & wastewater sector was the major end-user of
membrane separation technology and is expected to increase at a CAGR of 11.1% during
