Global Nonwoven Industrial Membrane Market by Module (Tubular, Plate & Frame, Spiral Wound), by Application (Wastewater Treatment, Pharmaceutical) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

In 2019, the global nonwoven industrial membrane market was valued at USD 994.2 millions. It is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR of 5.8%) between 2020 and 2027. The market for nonwoven industrial fabric is expected to grow due to increasing awareness about wastewater treatment. The filtration market is expected to grow due to the increasing demand for freshwater and less natural drinking water. Market growth will also be driven by the increasing use of nonwoven industrial membrane technology within the food and beverage sector to ensure safety and hygiene of food products.

China's market for nonwoven industrial membrane is expected to show an upward trend due to the country's growing nonwoven production. The country's growing population and economic growth, which has led to an increase in manufacturing activity, is expected to fuel the demand for industrial applications.

The demand for products to increase efficiency and reduce carbon emissions will be driven by the increasing growth of manufacturing sectors, particularly power generation and chemical processing. Market growth will also be influenced by stricter government regulations regarding carbon footprint reduction and wastewater treatment activities around the world.

As a result, consumers are actively adopting membrane technology due to increasing awareness of the health benefits of water treatment systems. Water contamination reports are affecting people's buying habits to a large extent. This has led to an increase in demand for water treatment products.

Despite the high growth potential from many application industries, industry growth is expected be lower in the current year because of disruptions in supply chain as most of the countries have been affected by COVID 19. Trade disruptions and lower purchasing power can lead to decreased product demand.

Module Insights

The market was dominated by spiral wound nonwoven industrial membranes. They accounted for over 35.0% of the total revenue in 2019. This is due to their many applications across multiple industries. This module is increasingly accepted by the pharmaceutical, food and beverage and dairy industries for purification, fractionation and recovery. This will drive segment growth over the next few years.

Nonwoven industrial membranes were first developed using plate and frame modules. They accounted for more than 20% of the nonwoven market share in 2019. They are being replaced by spiral wound modules because of their high price. These modules are no longer used for electrodialysis and pervaporation.

Due to increased product penetration in ultrafiltration applications, the demand for nonwoven tubular industrial membranes will increase in the future. Segment growth is expected to be driven by the expansion of wastewater treatment activities around the world to remove contaminants.

Application Insights

Pharmaceuticals dominated the nonwoven industrial membrane market in 2019. They accounted for more than 38.0% of global revenue share in 2019, due to increased product adoption in pharmaceutical production processes. Nonwoven industrial membranes have been widely accepted in ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis. This will drive product demand over the next few years.

Nonwoven industrial membranes, which are nonwoven, are widely used in wastewater treatment to reduce contaminants that have been released in different manufacturing processes. Segment growth is expected to be driven by the government's desire to use processed water through filtration technology in the near future.

In 2019, the food and beverage industry accounted for USD 156.8 millions in revenue. This is expected to continue until 2027. The growing popularity of organic farming raises concerns about food safety and sustainability, which will positively impact the future growth.

The biochemical and chemical industry saw a 5.5% increase in 2019, and this is expected to continue over the forecast period. Increasing use of industrial membranes for displace material from solids like in the manufacture of dyes, inks and pigments.

Nonwoven industrial membranes can be used to remove contaminated water due to mining activities in other industries, such as mining and metal processing. Segment growth is expected to be driven by the growing demand for coal and other mining resources over the forecast period.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific was the dominant market for nonwoven industrial membrane. It accounted for 38.0% of global revenue in 2019. This can be attributed in part to the large nonwoven production in countries like India and China, which is a result of low labor costs and easy access to raw materials. The growing manufacturing sector in emerging countries is expected to drive regional growth.

The huge nonwoven production in Europe, such as in Germany and Italy, drives demand. The region's strict regulations on wastewater treatment and environmental sustainability will likely result in an increase in product demand.

North American nonwoven industrial membrane market is expected to grow due to technological advances in the filtration industry as well as increasing adoption of industrial membranes for wastewater treatment and pharmaceutical purposes. The product's safety and health benefits are expected to outweigh other alternatives.

Due to growing economic growth in South America and the expanding manufacturing sector, the market for nonwoven industrial membranes in Central and South America will likely experience high growth in the forecast period. Product demand can be triggered by increasing consumer awareness about hygiene and health.
