Introduction
In its basic form, reverse osmosis (RO) is the passage of water, under pressure, via a solution-diffusion mechanism through a semipermeable membrane. Typical rejections are for materials with a molecular weight greater than about 150 daltons to 250 daltons. RO is a purification process with a difference. It offers a realistic chance of tapping replenishable water sources like sea-water on a large scale while conforming to the feasibility norms governing technology
and economics. When comparing competing filtration processes, larger RO setups are complex and require specialized engineering and management skills for their design, implementation and execution. Customization is the norm as the water processing capacity of RO setup increases. They can be clubbed
with power generating stations and can feed off each other. In the era of increasing population in the world's most challenging regions, and challenging demands being set on the world's water resources due to population increase as well as the consequent industrialization, RO enables the tapping of sea water, a minute fraction of which, if harnessed effectively, can cater to the entire global water demand.
While every setup has its own implementation objectives, there are certain commonalities that characterize most RO setups: membranes that provide the stage for reverse osmosis to happen; pressure vessels that house the membranes; pre-filters that make the life of the membrane simpler by filtering off a portion of the impurities; and pumps that produce the force which generates pressure when met with resistance. This report forecasts the market size for each of the components of the RO systems, breaks down the component market by region, application and operating pressure; breaks down the market for membranes and pressure vessels/housings by material employed; and, sheds light on water consumption patterns of individual regions and forecasts RO capacity addition.
Study Goals and Objectives
This report is an update of the report MST049E, published in 2014. It differs from the earlier report in the following ways:
-- The scope of measurable metrics is expanded to include the breakdown of the component market by operating pressure.
-- The scope of measurable metrics is expanded to include the breakdown of the RO membrane component market by material.
-- The scope of measurable metrics is expanded to include the breakdown of the RO pressure vessel/housing market by material.
-- The scope of measurable metrics is expanded to include the forecast for incremental RO water processing capacity.
On the whole, this BCC market research report provides an in-depth analysis of the technical and market drivers relating to the market for RO systems, evaluating the current worth of membranes, pressure vessels/housings, pre-filter cartridges, pumps and accessories. The study forecasts growth and trends in
the various sectors over the duration 2016-2021. The conclusions are illustrated with statistical information on markets, applications, industry structure and dynamics, along with technological developments.
Reasons for Doing This Study
The update provides additional breakdown by material and operating pressure. It also forecasts water processing capacity additions. The additional metrics expand the numerical context of this report considerably. This report is intended for those who require a thorough analysis of the RO component industry. This report traces significant developments and forecasts important trends, quantifies the various market sectors and profiles companies active in those areas. Because of the fragmented nature of the industry, it is difficult to find studies that gather extensive data from diverse resources and analyze it in the context of a comprehensive document. This report contains a unique collection of RO system component-related information and conclusions that is difficult to find elsewhere.
Scope of Report

Information Sources
Information in this report was derived from many different sources. SEC filings, annual reports, patent literature, business, scientific and industry journals, government reports, census information, conference literature, patent documents and on-line resources were researched. Information from the following industry associations also was reviewed: American Membrane Technology Association, American Water Works Association, International Desalination Association, WateReuse Association, Water and Wastewater Equipment Manufacturers Association, the Water Environment Federation and the Semiconductor Industry Association.
Methodology
Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in compiling this market research report. These include re-analysis of the available technical and business literature, conversations with industry experts and company representatives, product literature from system suppliers, patent information, and companies' annual reports and financial filings. Sales dollars are as received by membrane manufacturers and converted to U.S. dollars. While membrane prices depend on the area and prices of other components depend on their respective dimensions, the principal determinant for revenue numbers is the incremental water processing capacity demand. Equipment costs such as pumps, motors, pressure vessels, and pretreatment are evaluated separately. Post-treatment, civil works, real estate, engineering costs, computer automation, and installation are not included. Costs are adjusted to reflect U.S. dollars. Currency conversions are normalized as much as possible.
UF "membranes" refers to sheet, plate, hollow fiber, or tubular membrane material enclosed in housings, where relevant, and packaged into modules, cassettes, plate and frame, and other configurations. Forecasts in this report are based on announced projects and anticipated capacity additions over the
next five years. Costs are based on published data and interviews with industry participants. Calculations are based on the retail price of products rather than the discounted costs available to large volume users and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Sales of replacement membranes are included in market sizes and forecasts. Projections for each market are made in terms of constant dollars. Historical values are for the year given.
Geographic Breakdown
In this report, the geographic regions considered for market analysis include, and only include:
-- North America.
-- Europe.
-- Middle East and Africa (MEA)
