Abstract

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

- The total U.S. market value for ultrafiltration membranes was worth $579 million in 2005 and $635 million in 2006. At a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%, this market will reach $908 million by 2011.

- Broken down between bioseparations/medical and municipal/industrial applications, the market remains largely split down the middle throughout the forecast period. Bioseparations will grow slightly to 52% of the total market value throughout the forecast period, while municipal/industrial applications will drop slightly to 47%

- Bioseparation/medical applications have the highest CAGR throughout the forecast period. In 2006 this sector of the market was worth $324 million and will grow to $476 million by 2011, a CAGR of 8.0%.

INTRODUCTION

This BCC market research report provides an in-depth analysis of the technical and market drivers relating to the market for ultrafiltration (UF) membranes, evaluating the current worth of UF membranes by application, and forecasting growth and trends in the various sectors over the next 5 years. The conclusions are illustrated with statistical information on markets, applications, industry structure and dynamics, along with technological developments.

SCOPE OF STUDY

This report contains:
- Examination of the market for ultrafiltration as reflected by the major applications of the technology: food and beverage processing, biopharmaceuticals manufacture, hemodialysis, potable water production, wastewater treatment and industrial processes
- Five-year market forecasts and projections of the total U.S. market for activity and value, through 2011
- Important sections on industry structure, membrane applications and trends, pricing considerations, R&D, and government regulations
- A patent analysis of the most important technological advancements in the past several years
- Company profiles of all the major players in the U.S. market today

METHODOLOGY

A comprehensive literature, patent, and Internet search was undertaken and key industry players were queried. News and current developments in the field are evaluated in BCC's monthly newsletter, Membrane & Separations Technology News.
