Ceramic Membrane Market Segment Analysis – By Technology

The ultrafiltration segment held the largest share in the Ceramic Membrane Market in 2021. Ultrafiltration technology is used to separate molecules present in water and for pressure related operations. Therefore, it exhibits huge applications including water treatment, dairy processing, sterilization, petroleum refining, and other applications. Ultrafiltration ceramic membranes can be utilized for various purposes such as purification, clarification of liquids, concentration, and to remove a variety of particulates such as suspended solids, viruses, bacteria, metal hydroxides, emulsified oils, and others. Ceramic ultrafiltration membranes offer a polymeric ultrafiltration alternative for the treatment of highly turbid water. Additionally, the ultrafiltration ceramic membranes can be used to purify crude soybean oil from unwanted components such as phospholipids, pigments, free fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins, sterols, and their degradation products. Thus, the wide applicability of ceramic ultrafiltration is driving the Ceramic Membrane Market growth.

Ceramic Membrane Market Segment Analysis – By Application

The water and wastewater treatment segment held the largest share in the ceramic membranes market in 2021 and is growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during 2022-2027. Ceramic membranes are extensively utilized in water and wastewater treatment due to their distinctive properties such as high flux, long life, flexibility of operation, and antifouling property. These membranes provide resistance against chemical agents during cleaning and less fouling rate during municipal wastewater treatment, which results in extended operation of ceramic membranes. The need for fresh drinking water is continually increasing, with the expanding urbanization and industrialization. Therefore, the need for wastewater treatment is also rising, which has increased the funding by the government towards this cause. For instance, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Deputy Under Secretary for Rural Development Bette Brand, in 2020, invested US$281 million in 106 projects to improve water and wastewater infrastructure. Thus, increasing government investments for water and wastewater treatment will drive the market growth in the forecast period.

Ceramic Membrane Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

The Asia-Pacific region dominated the ceramic membranes market with a share of 41.2% in 2021. APAC region is one of the leading ceramic membranes manufacturers, with China and India being the key consumers and suppliers of ceramic membranes. Both the ceramic membranes, that is, porous membranes or dense membranes are applied in water and wastewater treatment, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemical & petrochemical, biotechnology, textile, and other applications. The rising growth of several end-use industries has uplifted the development of the ceramic membranes market. For instance, according to Invest India, the pharmaceutical industry in India is expected to reach US$65 billion by 2024 and US$120 billion by 2030. Additionally, Under the Budget 2021 of Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) 2.0, the government allocated Rs 1,41,000 crore (US$ 18,455.9 Million) for wastewater treatment and solid waste management (SWM). In the APAC region, demand for ceramic membranes with added value is growing substantially. Thus, the increasing government investments for water and wastewater treatment and water quality, and the growing pharmaceutical industry in APAC region, will drive the demand for ceramic membranes market.
