Global Membrane Market Overview

Membrane Market was valued at US$ 7.7 Billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.90% to reach US$ 15.4 Billion by 2034.

A membrane is a selective barrier; it allows some things to pass through but stops others. Such things may be molecules, ions, or other small particles. Biological membranes include cell membranes (outer coverings of cells or organelles that allow passage of certain constituents) nuclear membranes, which cover a cell nucleus; and tissue membranes, such as mucosae and serosae. Synthetic membranes are made by humans for use in laboratories and industry (such as chemical plants).

Membranes are used with pressure as the driving processes in membrane filtration of solutes and in reverse osmosis. In dialysis and pervaporation the chemical potential along a concentration gradient is the driving force. Also per traction as a membrane assisted extraction process relies on the gradient in chemical potential. The global membrane market accounted for US$5.4 Billion in 2019 and is estimated to be US$12.3 Billion by 2029 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 8.7%.

Impact of COVID-19 on the market

Biopharmaceutical firms are at the leading position of the human response to the coronavirus pandemic. A significant number of foremost biotech organizations are in the middle of a race to examine the Sars-Cov-2 genome and formulate a viable vaccine for the same. As compared to the speed of response to SARS/MERs etc, the biotech entities are investigating SARs-Cov-2 at an unprecedented rate and a significant amount of funds are being put into the R&D. With the several candidates in trial, the public and private sectors are expected to work in unison for the estimative period, until a vaccine is developed for Covid-19. This report will quantify the impact of this pandemic on the Membrane market.

Global Membrane Market Dynamics

Rising environmental concerns

Rapid industrialization and urbanization, especially in the developing countries is resulting in water pollution. Therefore, the strain on water resources is surging. The governments and regulatory bodies of several countries are implementing stringent norms and laws regarding industry discharge to control water pollution. The increasing environmental concerns have thus, compelled large portion of the industries to adopt membrane-based technology for curbing the level and severity of pollutants in their discharge streams. They are presently trying to comply with the regulations. Membranes play a vital role in providing zero liquid discharge (ZLD). It is helping the industries in lowering the environmental impact. However, fouled membrane can have harmful effects on its operations. This factor may obstruct the membranes market growth during the forthcoming years. The increase in need for clean saline free water in the rapidly urbanizing world creates a strong driving force for the global membrane market.

High demand from end-user industry

Increasing deployment of membrane materials in food & beverage industry on account of being adaptive during temperature change along with inducing low energy consumption is expected to remain the favorable factor for the market in the near future The pharmaceutical industry demonstrates the use of membrane technology in separation, purification, concentration processes which are expected to be a favorable factor for market over the forecast period. Wastewater treatment is expected to be the potential application on account of deployment of membrane technology for reducing effluent levels.

Conversely, strict regulation imposed on the key producers of membranes is anticipated to hamper the growth of the global Membrane market during the forecast period.

Regional Insights:

Disclaimer: This data is only a representation. Actual data may vary and will be available in the report.

In the region, the membrane market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific has immense growth potential driven by the increasing demand for physical treatment of water. Asia Pacific consists of some large and rapidly growing economies, such as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Across these economies, local governments are reforming regulations in fields such as water treatment, drinking water supply, and wastewater discharge. The major drivers for the membranes sector in Asia Pacific are changing reforms regarding water regulations in existing systems, growing population, increasing investment for water treatment, and rapid industrialization. Several planned desalination projects in India and China are set to boost the growth of the market in this region. Chennai in India, for instance, houses two desalination plants. Each has a capacity of 100 million litres per day (MLD). The third plant is set to begin operations in 2021. Europe is in the second position owing to the contributions of Italy, Spain, France, and Germany.
