Estimates that the membrane treatment market for industrial water and wastewater is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13% from $2.3 billion in 2008 through 2015 to reach $5.5 billion. Globally, microfiltration membrane treatment is likely to witness 15% CAGR growth during 2008 to 2015. The growth can largely be attributed to increasing use of microfiltration membranes in industrial wastewater treatment. Increasing volume production and technological improvements have reduced capital cost of membrane systems and operating cost to the point that membrane treatment is now seen as a viable alternative in many water and wastewater applications. Declining costs are stimulating the membrane treatment growth in the industrial sector.

Technological improvements resulting in cost reduction is identified as one of the key drivers for the growth of the membrane-based treatment market. Reduced prices have actuated interest of end user industries in the technology. The price of membrane modules has been declining over the past few years, primarily due to increased focus on research and development to improve product offering and also due to an increasingly competitive marketplace.This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in house analysis by Global Markets Direct’s team of industry experts.
