Global Non-woven - Industrial Membrane Market (2020 to 2025) - Proliferation of New Technologies Presents Opportunities - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Non-woven - Industrial Membrane Market by Module Type (Spiral Wound, Hollow Fiber, Tubular, Plate & Frame), Application (Water & Wastewater Treatment, Pharmaceutical & Medical, Food & Beverage, Chemical, Industrial Gas), and Region - Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global nonwoven - industrial membranes market size to grow from USD 1.2 billion in 2020 to USD 1.6 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2020 to 2025.

Factors, such as the increasing number of end-use applications and rapid industrialization, coupled with the increasing importance of water and wastewater treatment are driving the nonwoven - industrial membranes market.

In terms of both value and volume, spiral wound segment to lead the nonwoven - industrial membranes market by 2025.

Spiral wound, by module type, accounted for the largest market share in the nonwoven - industrial membranes market. Spiral-wound membranes are produced by winding consecutive layers of feed spacer, membrane, permeate collection channel, and a membrane around the perforated center tube for permeate collection. The majority of the reverse osmosis membranes are spiral wound. They offer similar advantages to the others at lower energy costs due to their reduced pumping requirements and higher packing density.

The pharmaceutical & medical segment is projected to be the fastest-growing application in the nonwoven - industrial membranes market from 2020 to 2025.

The pharmaceutical & medical segment is projected to be the fastest-growing application in the nonwoven - industrial membranes market. The pharmaceutical sector is vast with a high inflow of leading chemical companies. It is the second-largest application segment of the global market for nonwoven - industrial membranes. As many pharmaceutical processes use toxic chemicals, the need for a clean workspace is a priority that has created a good market for air filters, where industrial membranes have a key role to play. The pharmaceutical industry involves a wide range of production processes, ranging from simple chemical synthesis to complex drug production that requires separation equipment.

Nonwoven - industrial membranes find widespread applications in the biopharmaceutical industry as its products and their intermediates are susceptible to degradation due to heat and chemical treatment, making it difficult to separate those using alternate technologies. The harvesting of cells or recuperation of biomass is an important step in the process of fermentation, especially when manufacturing products, such as antibiotics. Filtration improves production as well as reduces the operator's workload and maintenance costs. Membranes are also a standard part of industrial production lines for enzymes. They are used for concentrating enzymes prior to their use in other processes according to the requirements.
