The spiral membrane market size was valued at US$ 4.31 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 8.89 billion by 2031; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 9.5% from 2023 to 2031.
Spiral membranes are highly used in water treatment applications such as purification of industrial water, drainage purification, sewage treatment, and wastewater treatment. Spiral membrane provides a higher packing density, making it a more efficient membrane material and leading to improved filtration capacity and separation performance. The spiral membrane consists of a spiral-wound configuration, which enables a high surface area within a smaller filtration area. Thus, owing to its enhanced efficiency, the spiral membrane is crucial in applications such as the treatment of municipal waste and industrial waste, where optimal separation is paramount. Governments of many countries worldwide are encouraging water and wastewater treatment practices. Various countries in Europe are working toward achieving wastewater treatment targets, protecting sensitive water systems, and utilizing wastewater sludge.
Based on membrane type, the spiral membrane market is segmented into polyethersulfone, polyamide, fluoropolymers, and others. In 2023, the polyamide segment held the largest market share and is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2031. Polyamide membranes are composed of polyamide, a type of polymer known for its high mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and excellent filtration properties. The spiral configuration involves winding the membrane sheets around a central tube, creating a compact and efficient design that maximizes surface area while minimizing footprint. This structure allows for high permeability and selectivity, enabling the removal of various contaminants, including salts, microorganisms, and organic compounds. Polyamide spiral membranes operate under high pressure, forcing water through the semipermeable membrane while retaining impurities. These membranes are favored in applications requiring high-purity water, such as desalination and wastewater treatment, as well as a few applications in the food & beverages industry.
In 2023, Asia Pacific held a significant share of the spiral membrane market. Asia Pacific has been recognized as one of the prominent markets for the utilization of spiral membranes owing to the growing chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas sectors and rising urbanization leading to demand for water and wastewater treatment. Moreover, government initiatives and policies such as Make in India encourage the setup of different manufacturing plants in India. The increase in foreign direct investments leads to regional economic growth, which promotes industrialization. The chemical manufacturing industry is integral to the exports of manufactured goods from China, India, South Korea, Japan, and other countries in Asia Pacific.
