The Global Tubular Membranes Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Tubular Membranes Market Definition

The tubular membranes are usually situated on the inside of the tubes, these tubes are made up of a special type of material meant for supporting them because they do not have any self-supported. The bond between the supporting tube and membrane is very fragile. This may lead to an inside-out flow through the membrane. With the help of tubular membranes, the contaminants from water can be easily removed. Hence, these membranes are broadly employed in wastewater treatment and help in maintaining a zero-liquid discharge in a wide range of businesses. The tubular membranes find their uses across various applications such as zero-discharge systems, and to address problems of pollution caused by the discharge of wastewater into water bodies from businesses.

Global Tubular Membranes Market Overview

The growth of global tubular membranes is credited to the growing emphasis on reducing the capital and operating costs of ZLD systems using membranes. The increasing regulations on wastewater discharge from various industries across the globe are expected to positively influence the growth of the Global Tubular Membranes Market. Furthermore, the increasing demand from the thermal sector is expected to prole the growth of the Global Tubular Membranes Market.

However, contrary to the above drivers, some restraints are limiting the growth of the Global Tubular Membranes Market. The high cost of tubular membranes is expected to create setbacks for the market. Also, the concerns related to the long service life of the tubular membranes are expected to hamper the growth of the global market. But the rapid industrialization in emerging countries will create more opportunities for the growth of the global market.

Key Developments

• Products Launched, Developed, Partnerships, Collaborations, and Agreements
• In September 2021, The Vacaville, California, headquarters of Synder announced the launch of their new sales office. The Technical Sales Team and Project Engineers will work in the 2600 square foot area. A section of the structure includes 53,000 square feet of office space, a production facility, a research and development center, and a system fabrication facility.
• In April 2021, in order to effectively handle industrial waste streams, KOCH Separation Solutions has added a new technology to their tubular membrane lineup called INDU-COR HD (High Density). With a high packing density of almost 300% more than INDU-COR standard, INDU-COR HD offers crossflow filtration at a significant cost and space savings. The working effectiveness and sustainability of the membrane are improved by this innovative product, which also lowers the costs associated with waste treatment for the customers.
• In June 2020, The OptimalFlow series elements, a new line of filter products from Synder Filtration, were recently introduced. The new product line offers identical and widely used element sizes and model options for the existing microfiltration, ultrafiltration, standard, and MAX membrane types.
• Mergers and Acquisition
• In 2018, the combination between Aquaporin A/S and Berghof Membranes, through which they would jointly market tubular forward osmosis membrane technology, was recently announced. The disposal of wastewater free of chemicals will also benefit the food and beverage industry as a result of the merger.
• In July 2019, the strategic objectives for the acquisition of Pentair's X-Flow Classic Tubular Membranes have been completed, according to PCI Membranes. These tubular membranes, sometimes referred to as classic membranes, are ideally adapted to handle aqueous feeds with high viscosities or significant fouling and high amounts of dry material (up to 40,000 ppm).
