Introduction
The global hollow fiber membranes market is expected to expand at the CAGR of 8.5% over forecast period. The global hollow fiber membranes market is valued over US$ 3 Bn till 2026.
Market Dynamics
The global hollow fiber membrane market is anticipated to witness potential growth opportunities driven by increasing demand of these membranes across industries such as chemical processing, water and wastewater treatment, and pharmaceutical industries. The opportunity for manufacturers of hollow fiber membranes is expected to rise in terms of revenue generation due to increasing innovations in these products and rising importance of microfiltration in industries. The increasing need for constant water and wastewater treatment in industry al as well as residential areas is ultimately propelling the hollow fiber membrane market growth.
Market Insights
Hollow fiber membranes market is segmented based on filtration type microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis. Based on membrane material the market is segmented into polymer and ceramic. On the basis of end-user the market is segmented into water & waste water treatment, food & beverages, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals & chemicals.
Considering the demand for membrane materials, the polymers are maintaining its dominance as they are most widely used materials. Remarkable stability of the ceramic membranes is one of the differentiating property of these membranes but they need maintenance and pretreatment which is limiting the adoption of these membranes. The ceramic membranes isprimarily used in areas where high-pressure resistance is required for handling of solutions including acids and caustic solutions. On the other hand, the high permeable properties of polymers is boosting the adoption in industries. However, polymer is dominating the global hollow fiber membrane market by holding more than 80% of the market share.
The hollow fiber membrane market growth is expected to be foreseen due to changing nature of demand for membranes from biopharmaceutical industry. The biopharmaceutical industry is leveraging the hollow fiber membrane for their rising concerns about continuous manufacturing process.
