Global Disposable Depth Filter System Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Disposable Depth Filter System market size is predicted to grow from US$ 846 million in 2025 to US$ 1511 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2024, the global production of disposable depth filtration systems reached 7.2083 million units, with an average selling price of US$120 per unit.
Disposable depth filtration systems emerged to address the problems of traditional reusable filtration systems, such as cumbersome cleaning (2-4 hours per cleaning), high risk of cross-contamination (0.8% contamination rate), and high equipment depreciation costs. Since their commercial application in the early 21st century, they have developed into a key separation equipment widely used in biopharmaceuticals, food and beverages, water treatment, and electronics and semiconductors, thanks to their core advantages of "ready-to-use and disposable, no cross-contamination, and reduced operating and maintenance costs." They can achieve efficient retention of particles, microorganisms, and macromolecular impurities in fluids.
In 2024, the average price of global disposable depth filtration systems varied significantly across different application fields: US$200-300 per unit in the biopharmaceutical field (suitable for vaccine/monoclonal antibody production), US$50-150 per unit in the food and beverage field (fruit juice/dairy product filtration), and US$30-100 per unit in the water treatment field (industrial wastewater purification). In terms of production capacity, small and medium-sized enterprises have an annual production capacity of 200,000-500,000 units per production line, while leading companies such as Pall (USA) have an annual production capacity of over 1.2 million units; the industry's average capacity utilization rate is approximately 70%, which can rise to 85% during peak seasons for biopharmaceutical production (vaccine expansion cycles). Gross profit margins vary depending on the application field: 30%-40% for high-end biopharmaceutical models, 22%-30% for regular food and beverage models, and 17%-25% for low-to-medium-end water treatment models.
Typical Transaction Case
Biopharmaceutical field: In the second quarter of 2024, Pfizer purchased 15,000 units of Pall's AcroPak 200 capsule-type disposable depth filtration systems, totaling US$3.75 million. The procurement requirements clearly state: "Suitable for monoclonal antibody fermentation broth filtration, filtration accuracy 0.22μm, sterile grade Class 100, pH tolerance 2-12, single unit processing capacity ≥500L," for the expansion of COVID-19 vaccine and tumor monoclonal antibody production lines, shortening batch filtration time from 4 hours with traditional systems to 1.5 hours.
Food and Beverage Sector: In the fourth quarter of 2024, Yili Group purchased 8,000 sets of Hangzhou Kebaiter cartridge-type disposable deep filtration systems, model KBT-PP-50, for a total of US$800,000. The requirements were: "Compliant with GB 4806.7 food contact standards, used for whey protein clarification, removing fat globules and micro-impurities, filtration efficiency ≥99.8%, single unit suitable for 5 tons/batch of liquid milk production," solving the flavor cross-contamination problem caused by traditional cleaning systems.
Water Treatment Sector: In early 2025, Beijing Enterprises Environment purchased 12,000 sets of 3M flat-panel disposable deep filtration systems, model 3M Zeta Plus, for a total of US$1.08 million. The requirements were: "Processing comprehensive wastewater from industrial parks, COD removal rate ≥85%, suspended solids (SS) retention rate ≥99%, water temperature tolerance 5-40℃," used for upgrading wastewater treatment in a chemical industrial park in northern China, replacing traditional sand filtration + activated carbon systems, reducing land area by 60%.
Industry Chain Structure
The industry chain structure of disposable deep filtration systems is closely integrated. Its upstream is technology-intensive, highly dependent on the core supply of filtration media, high-end materials (such as PES membranes, food-grade polymers, and stainless steel), and precision manufacturing equipment; downstream applications are primarily driven by the biopharmaceutical field (accounting for approximately 45%), with strong demand in the production of vaccines and monoclonal antibodies. This technology is also widely used in high-growth areas such as food and beverage clarification, industrial and municipal water treatment upgrades, and high-purity fluid purification in the electronics and semiconductor industries. Overall demand is continuously and rapidly growing as various industries increase their requirements for purification, clarification, and separation accuracy. Industry Trends and Challenges
The disposable depth filtration system industry is currently in a development phase characterized by simultaneous technological upgrades and demand expansion. The core trend is towards higher precision, greater integration, increased environmental friendliness, and enhanced intelligence. At the same time, the industry faces strong market opportunities driven by the booming biopharmaceutical and semiconductor industries, as well as tightening food safety and environmental protection policies. However, it must also overcome key challenges such as reliance on imported high-end core materials, fierce competition in the low-to-medium end market, high industry certification barriers, and cost sensitivity in some market segments.
Demand and Business Opportunity Analysis
The core driving factors for the disposable depth filtration system market demand stem from the pursuit of ultimate production safety, product purity, and operational efficiency in various downstream industries: the biopharmaceutical sector considers it a standard due to "zero tolerance for contamination" regulations and efficiency improvements; the food and beverage industry is accelerating its adoption to meet safety upgrades and flavor preservation needs; the water treatment market is undergoing technological replacement driven by stricter environmental policies and optimized operating costs; and the electronics and semiconductor industry is expanding procurement due to the rigid demand for ultrapure fluids driven by process upgrades. Facing these demands and opportunities, the market presents several core business opportunities: including breaking through the reliance on imported high-end membrane materials through domestic substitution, deep cultivation in high-barrier niche areas such as gene therapy, providing high value-added integrated solutions, and expanding into rapidly growing emerging markets such as Southeast Asia.
