Nanoporous Membranes Industry Report 2020-2025: Analysis of Water Treatment, Fuel Cells, Biomedical, Food Processing, and Other Applications

DUBLIN, Jan. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Nanoporous Membranes Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/539438/Research_and_Markets_Logo.jpg

The nanoporous membranes market is expected to register a CAGR of over 7% during the forecast period.

The major factors driving the market studied include growing need to treat wastewater and rising water desalination activities. Low adoption rate of these membranes by developing countries and poor fouling resistance of the nanoporous membranes are going to hinder the market growth.

The market for nanoporous membranes is majorly consolidated as there are very few players manufacturing nanoporous membranes. The major players in the market are SmartMembranes GmbH, Hunan Keensen Technology Co.,Ltd., SUEZ, inopor, MICRODYN-NADIR, etc. among others.

Key Highlights

    --  North America is expected to dominate the global market during the
        forecast period.
    --  Surface grafting of fouling-resistance membrane is likely to act as
        opportunity in the future.

Market Trends

Growing Demand from Water Treatment Application

    --  Nanoporous membrane exhibits high performance for water purification. It
        helps to filter pollutants, such as metallic ions, salts, organic
        molecules, and microbes from wastewater. To design high-performance
        nanoporous membranes for water purification, various types of organic,
        inorganic, and hybrid materials are used.
    --  The water treatment industry has been witnessing strong growth, which is
        widely fueled by the increased industrial demand for water.
    --  As water is utilized in huge quantities in numerous industries, such as
        power, steel, mining, & metallurgy, petrochemicals, oil and gas, food
        and beverage, and textile and dyes, various governments across the world
        are found implementing regulations on these industries related to
        wastewater treatment before releasing the water back into the
        environment.
    --  Such market requirements are leading to increasing the number of water
        treatment plants across the world. Northeast Water Purification Plant
        (NEWPP) Expansion Phase 2 in Texas, United States, Bull Run Filtration
        Project in Oregon, United States, Reconstruction Project of Linville
        Water Treatment Plant in South East Queensland, Australia, etc. are some
        of the upcoming projects.
    --  Hence, with all such projects to come, the demand for nanoporous
        membranes is expected to increase for water treatment applications
        during the forecast period.

United States is Expected to Dominate the Market in the North America Region

    --  The United States is a major industrialized country that houses multiple
        industries in heavy, medium-scale, and small-scale categories. The
        country is known for its booming commercial activities.
    --  Moreover, the USEPA has also been focusing on supplying clean drinking
        water and runs a fund called Clean Water State Revolving Fund', through
        which it finances the environmental compliances to meet the
        infrastructural needs. Apart from the funds, the government is also
        encouraging private investments in the treatment of water and
        wastewater.
    --  The usage of biological water treatment technologies is increasing in
        other industries, such as food and beverage, paper and pulp,
        pharmaceutical, chemical industries, etc.
    --  The United States Naval Research Laboratory developed nanoporous
        membrane microbial fuel cells that use a non-PEM to generate passive
        diffusion within the cell. The membrane is a nonporous polymer filter
        (nylon, cellulose, or polycarbonate). It offers comparable power
        densities to Nafion (a well-known PEM), with greater durability.
    --  Hence, with such innovations, coupled with rapidly growing end users,
        are expected to boost the demand for nanoporous membranes in the
        country, during the forecast period.
