The global reverse osmosis (RO) membrane market size reached USD 4.7 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 10.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9% during 2025-2033.
Reverse osmosis (RO) refers to a technology that deionizes or purifies water by pushing it through a semi-permeable membrane under high pressure. The RO membrane is a thin layer of filtering material that separates contaminating agents and dissolved salts from drinking water. It consists of three layers, namely a polyester support web, a microporous polysulfone interlayer and an ultra-thin polyamide barrier layer. These membranes can be used in both industrial processes and for obtaining potable water. Nowadays, they are increasingly being used across the globe for water purification, as the RO process offers an environment-friendly and cost-effective alternative to the conventionally used techniques such as distillation and evaporation.
In recent years, the rising pollution levels, industrial development, population growth, and climate change have resulted in the high demand for clean and fresh water worldwide. This, in turn, has prompted consumers to opt for numerous water filtration technologies, the most preferred among which is RO. Additionally, a significant number of countries are employing seawater desalination, which relies on the process of RO for removing the excessive amount of salt from water to make it fit for use. Apart from this, the governments of various nations are spreading awareness among the masses about water-borne diseases and promoting the use of water filtration systems. Moreover, the leading companies are developing hybrid and advanced membrane technologies that can provide longer membrane life and lower the replacement rate. These advancements are expected to escalate the utilization of RO membranes in power plants, municipal water treatment, and mining and chemical industries.
