Only a fraction of the total water on earth is fit for human consumption, and on top of that, even this little amount is becoming increasingly polluted due to unsustainable human activities. With the rising realization of the fact the drinking polluted water causes severe diseases, the focus on recycling and treating polluted or used water is surging around the world. These efforts have led to the establishment of a huge number of sewage treatment plants, where an array of technologies and machines are deployed, one of which is a microfiltration membrane.



Therefore, with a rise in the number of such municipal sewage treatment facilities, the microfiltration membrane market is expected to witness a CAGR of 9.0% during 2018–2023, growing from $2,387.9 million in 2017 to $4,039.3 million by 2023. Such filtration membranes have a pore size of around 0.1 micron, which helps in the separation of even the tiniest particles, such as microorganisms, from the liquid or solvent. The primary reason behind the rising demand for such products is the inefficiency of coagulation and sedimentation, sand filtration, and dissolved air floatation techniques in accomplishing the objective.

Such membranes are made from a variety of materials, including polypropylene (PP), polyethersulfone (PES), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyimide, polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyacrylonitrile, cellulose, and polyethylene. Among these, those made from PVDF have witnessed the widest usage till now, on account of their ability to easily and efficiently clean the liquids, which is why they see a high demand in general and industrial wastewater treating applications. In the coming years though, the requirement for PES membranes would rise the fastest, as they offer high chemical and impact resistance, high purification rate, appreciable mechanical strength, and pore uniformity.

Geographically, the most productive microfiltration membrane market has been Asia-Pacific (APAC), due to the implementation of strict quality standards on sewage and wastewater treatment bodies. In addition, the manufacturing plants of numerous domestic as well as European and North American biotechnology, pharmaceutical, chemical, and food and beverage firms are being set up here, which are continuously driving the demand for microfiltration membranes. As APAC is home to the largest number of people anywhere on earth, the requirement for clean water, chemicals, drugs, and food and beverages is also incredible high here.
