Biofilter Market size was valued at USD 2,145.34 Million in 2023, expanding at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2024 to 2032.
A biofilter is a filtration system that uses living organisms to remove pollutants or contaminants from air or water. The effectiveness of a biofilter depends on factors such as the type of organisms used, the design of the system, and the specific pollutants being targeted. However, designing and operating effective biofilter systems requires specialized knowledge in microbiology and engineering, which makes it difficult to maintain optimal conditions for microbial activity. Furthermore, industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing are investing in sustainable solutions to meet regulatory requirements and enhance their environmental stewardship.
Biofilter Market- Market Dynamics
Growing demand for clean water
Biofilters are effective in eliminating typical wastewater pollutants like nitrate and ammonia. If ingested by humans, these nutrients have the potential to be harmful to health and the environment when they get into natural water bodies. Since biofilters may be run with little energy and chemical input, they are also a sustainable water treatment option. Furthermore, as these sectors look to lessen their environmental effect and raise the caliber of their output, the growing use of biofilters in aquaculture and agriculture for water treatment is anticipated to support the expansion of the biofilter market.
Biofilter Market- Key Insights

Based on type segmentation, the biological aerated biofilter system was predicted to show maximum market share in the year 2023
Based on application segmentation, denitrification was the leading type in 2023
Based on end-user segmentation, water & wastewater collection was the leading type in 2023
Based on region, Asia Pacific was the leading revenue generator in 2023
The Global Biofilter Market is segmented based on Type, Application, Filter Media, End User, and Region.
The market is divided into five categories based on type: In a Biological Aerated Biofilter (BAB) system, biofilters play a crucial role in wastewater treatment. They are designed to promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms that break down organic pollutants present in the wastewater. These biofilters typically consist of porous media, such as rocks, gravel, or plastic media, which provide a large surface area for microbial attachment and growth.
The market is divided into five categories based on application: Denitrification is the process by which nitrate is converted into nitrogen gas (N2) or nitrogen oxides (NOx) under anaerobic conditions, typically mediated by bacteria. Biofilters provide a habitat for denitrifying bacteria. These bacteria utilize nitrate as an electron acceptor in the absence of oxygen, converting it to nitrogen gas or nitrogen oxides.
Biofilter Market- Geographical Insights
Geographically, this market is widespread in the regions of North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. These regions are further divided as per the nations bringing business.
In Asia Pacific, there is a lesser environmental effect caused by the growing use of biofilters in aquaculture and agriculture for water treatment is anticipated to support the expansion of the biofilter market. Furthermore, the market for biofilters is growing in North America mainly because of the strict environmental regulations and the growing use of advanced technologies that encourage the use of biofilters across a range of sectors. In addition, the established food and beverage sector in the area fuels the demand for environmentally friendly water treatment options like biofilters. The region's biofilter market is anticipated to increase as a result of the rising demand for biopharmaceutical products.
Specialized companies are focusing on biofiltration technologies, research institutions driving innovation, and the potential for new entrants to disrupt the market with novel solutions. Companies like Evoqua Water Technologies, Pentair plc, Veolia, Suez, and Xylem are major players in the water treatment industry and may offer biofiltration solutions in their product portfolio. Some companies specialize specifically in biofiltration technologies, such as Biorem, BioAir Solutions, and Bioconservacion. These companies often focus on providing innovative biofiltration solutions tailored to specific industries or applications.
In December 2023, The AI-driven technology trial between InfoTiles, a Norwegian digital analytics business, and Anglian Water is being expanded from a successful 24-site pilot to a 100-site proof of concept initiative. With the help of artificial intelligence, the partnership hopes to improve asset management decision-making and operational visibility by managing about 317 biofilters, pumps, and valves.
