Spiral Membrane Market By Polymer Type (Polyamide, PS & PES, and Fluoropolymers), By Technology (Reverse Osmosis (RO), Nanofiltration (NF), Ultrafiltration (UF), and Microfiltration (MF)), By End-Use Industry (Water & Wastewater Treatment, Food & Beverage, Chemical & Petrochemical, Oil & Gas, Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology, and Others) - Market Trends, Analysis, And Forecast Till 2032

Spiral Membrane Market accounted for USD 7.8 Billion in 2022 and is estimated to be USD 15.6 Billion by 2032 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 7.2%.

Spiral element consist of membranes, feed spacers, permeate spacers, and a permeate tube. The basic spiral element is a sandwich of flat membrane sheets, known as a ‘leaf’, wound around a central perforated tube. Membrane is laid out and folded in half with the membrane facing inward. The feed spacer is then put in between the folded membranes, forming a membrane sandwich.

Purpose of a feed spacer is to provide space for water to flow between the membrane surfaces, and to allow for uniform flow between the membrane leaves. Spiral-bound filters are beneficial for water reuse in industrial applications because the design enables high volumes of permeable membrane to be packed into a confined space. The good news is that new developments in single-layer membrane technology are allowing filter elements to generate higher flux rates and cleaner permeate while reducing the tendency for fouling.

Revenue from the global food & beverage industry is projected to accrue more than USD 75 billion in 2020 and is forecasted to grow up to USD 105 billion by 2024 at a CAGR of greater than 8%. Ultra & nanofiltration are widely used in the production of high quality juices. Ultra and Nanofiltration membranes can remove starch, pectin, proteins, and polyphenolic compounds. Microfiltration can also be utilized for the removal of microorganisms. Filtration is an essential process in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries owing to the constant requirement for separating particles and fluids in suspension. Growing investments in the development of healthcare facilities, improvement in diagnostic technology, and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases are likely to benefit the market growth. For instance, Aquabio work in various industries including distilleries, breweries, maltings, dairy producers, food producers and meat processors.

Stringent regulatory and sustainability mandates for environmental safety

Stringent regulations have increased demand for water purification and wastewater treatment across the globe. Environmental regulatory acts, such as the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) have enforced stringent rules and guidelines for eliminating the release of high amounts of toxic effluents into water sources. These regulations ensure that high quality standards are followed for water & wastewater treatment. Spiral membrane are used to maintain these standards. This, in turn, is driving the demand for these membranes. For instance, in October 2019 Hydranautics, the global leader in membrane technology has announced the launch of an entirely new range of specialty membranes: the PRO series. In today’s scenario of water scarcity and stringent environment regulations, the PRO series is the best ensemble of robust RO-NF membrane solutions for treating challenging industrial wastewaters.

However, high costs associated with manufacturing equipment of spiral membrane might hamper growth of the global market to a certain extent.

Spiral membrane market is segmented based on polymer type, technology, end-use industry, and region.

On the basis of polymer type, the global spiral membrane market is segmented into polyamide, PS & PES, and fluoropolymers. Based on technology, the target market is classified into reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF), and microfiltration (MF). On the basis of end-use industry, the global market is categorized into water & wastewater treatment, food & beverage, chemical & petrochemical, oil & gas, pharmaceutical & biotechnology, and others.

Regional Insights:

On region the spiral membrane market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The market in Asia-Pacific is forecast to reach US$1.4 Billion by the year 2027. Asia Pacific was a leading region of the global spiral membrane market. The region is estimated to continue to dominate the market during the forecast period. Asia Pacific is likely to expand at a rapid pace in the next few years due to the presence of a large industrial base and increase in demand for spiral membrane from water & wastewater treatment, chemical & petrochemical, and other industries. Europe constituted moderate share of the spiral membrane market. According to the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), the research-based pharmaceuticals industry is growing in Europe. This, in turn, is driving the spiral membrane market in the region. Middle East & Africa holds considerable share of the spiral membrane market. The oil & gas sector is expanding at a rapid pace in Middles East & Africa; therefore, the market in the region is projected to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period. For instance, in June 2019 LG Chem, manufacturer of the full line of NanoH2OTM reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, has been selected as the supplier of RO membranes to two mega seawater desalination projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA): the 210 million liters per day (MLD) Al Khobar I and 125 MLD Duba projects.
