Asia-Pacific – The biggest market for ceramic membranes
The ceramic membranes market in Asia-Pacific is
projected to register one of the highest growth rates mainly due to the
presence of emerging economies, such as China, Japan, and India as well
as emerging activities in the water & wastewater treatment,
pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and biotechnology sectors.
Asia-Pacific is the largest market for ceramic membranes with a share of
more than 35% of the global market in terms of value in 2014, which was
majorly contributed by China. China is the fastest-growing market for
ceramic membranes in the region owing to growing population, favorable
investment policies, and government initiatives to promote industrial
growth. Increasing consumption of ceramic membranes technologies, such
as ultrafiltration, microfiltration, nanofiltration, and others has been
observed in Asia-Pacific owing to continuous industrialization and
growth in the manufacturing sector.
Nanofiltration Technology – The fastest-growing technology segment of ceramic membranes
The nanofiltration technology segment is the
fastest-growing technology segment of ceramic membranes market.
Asia-Pacific is currently the largest consumers of nanofiltration
ceramic membranes technology. This technology segment accounted for a
share of around 9% of the total ceramic membranes market in 2014.
Nanofiltration technology is used in liquid phase membrane separation
processes for separation of natural organic and inorganic substances.
Its water softening ability, recycling, sterilization, and stability in
very high or low pH environments makes it a suitable technology for
various application industries, such as water & wastewater
treatment, food & beverages, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals.
These features make this technology a feasible option in comparison with
other ceramic membrane technologies.
Water & Wastewater Treatment Industry – The largest market for ceramic membrane
The water & wastewater treatment is the largest
application industry of ceramic membranes and this trend is projected to
continue in the near future due to the increasing issues of water
scarcity, growing demand of quality water, and water desalination
processes. Asia-Pacific is the largest market for water & wastewater
treatment industry. This application segment accounted for a share of
around 55% of the total ceramic membrane market in 2014. Food &
beverages is projected to be the fastest-growing application segment,
followed by biotechnology, between 2015 and 2020 due to the increasing
demand of recycling, recovery of materials, clarification of juices and
beer, sterilization of milk, and so on.
Major players such as Jiangsu Jiuwu Hi-Tech Co., Ltd.
(China) and Metawater Co., Ltd. (Japan) have adopted the development
strategies of expansions, partnerships, and product developments to
achieve growth in the ceramic membranes market.
