Membrane separation technology is a technique that utilizes small holes or gaps in the molecular structure of a continuous material to selectively separate components. The categorization of membrane separations is based on pore size and the driving force for separation.
Mining equipment encompasses various products, including mining drills and breakers, crushing, pulverizing, and screening equipment, mineral processing equipment, surface mining equipment, and underground mining equipment. Mining drills and breakers are tools employed for drilling into the Earth's surface in mining operations and for breaking or destroying rocks or stones during mining activities. The types of powertrains, including IC engine vehicles and electric vehicles, are used for applications such as metal mining, mineral mining, and coal mining.

The membrane separation technology market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $26.45 billion in 2024 to $28.91 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to water scarcity concerns, industrial process efficiency, environmental regulations, biopharmaceutical industry growth, increasing demand for renewable energy.
The membrane separation technology market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.63 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to wastewater treatment demand, emerging biotechnology applications, focus on sustainable energy, rapid growth in pharmaceutical manufacturing, expansion of the dairy industry. Major trends in the forecast period include integration with IoT and AI, rising demand in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, focus on sustainable solutions, expanding use in food and beverage processing, advancements in membrane materials.
The increasing demand for purified, clean drinking water is expected to drive the growth of the membrane separation technology market in the near future. Membrane separation systems are becoming increasingly important for applications such as water purification, desalination, and wastewater treatment. Higher feed water pressure and temperature significantly enhance water recovery rates. Key factors contributing to this growth include health concerns regarding contaminants like PFAS, rapid urbanization that is outpacing existing infrastructure, a shift towards environmental awareness that reduces reliance on bottled water, and advancements in membrane technology. For example, in September 2023, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, reported that in 2022, 73% of the global population, approximately 6 billion people, had access to safely managed drinking water services. This access indicates that water sources were located on their premises, available whenever needed, and free from contamination. Thus, the growing demand for purified, clean drinking water is propelling the growth of the membrane separation technology market.
The growth of the membrane separation technology market is further fueled by increasing environmental concerns. Environmental challenges related to the well-being and sustainability of natural ecosystems necessitate effective filtration technologies. Industries are compelled to adhere to stringent environmental regulations and address the repercussions of rapid urbanization, leading to a heightened demand for membrane separation technology to mitigate the impact of pollutants. As of September 2023, data from the World Health Organization revealed that 4.2 to 7 million people globally die from air pollution annually, with nine out of 10 people breathing air containing high pollutant levels. Consequently, the membrane separation technology market is experiencing growth driven by mounting environmental concerns.
Product innovation is a significant trend gaining traction in the membrane separation technology market. Leading companies in this sector are concentrating on developing cutting-edge products to enhance their market position. For example, in June 2024, Asahi Kasei, a Japan-based company involved in various sectors including materials, homes, and healthcare, launched a new membrane system designed for producing Water for Injection (WFI), which is sterile water used in medical injections. This system incorporates Microza, utilizing durable polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fibers for both ultrafiltration and microfiltration. It effectively separates contaminants from liquids, making it suitable for industries such as pharmaceuticals and food processing. Renowned for its high performance and long-lasting durability, Microza improves the cleanliness and automation of filtration processes. This innovative product configuration not only reduces CO2 emissions and energy costs but also ensures the delivery of high-quality water.
Strategic partnerships and collaborations with start-ups and mid-sized companies are becoming increasingly prevalent among major players in the membrane separation technology market. These partnerships allow companies to broaden their product and service offerings and expand their geographical reach. In August 2022, Molnlycke Health Care announced partnerships with Engie and Veolia, international sustainability solutions providers, to deliver energy-saving wastewater treatment solutions for healthcare projects. The collaborations align with Molnlycke Health Care's goal of building a sustainable healthcare manufacturing ecosystem to meet market demands. Engie, a France-based electric utility company, and Veolia, a France-based environmental services company, are integral to these strategic partnerships.
In June 2022, Donaldson Company, Inc., a US-based leader in filtration and contamination control products and solutions, acquired Purilogics, LLC for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to accelerate drug development and expand Donaldson's biologics purification portfolio. It enhances the company's global manufacturing capabilities and competitive position within the biotechnology market. Purilogics, LLC is a US-based biotechnology firm that specializes in advanced membrane separation technologies, providing high-performance purification solutions for biopharmaceutical applications.
