The global membrane separation market size is expected to reach USD 95,181.19 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Membrane Separation Market Size, Share, & Industry Analysis Report: By Technology (Reverse Osmosis, Microfiltration, Ultrafiltration, and Nanofiltration), By Application, and By Region – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The membrane separation market is being driven by the increasing demand for efficient and sustainable separation processes. Membrane separation technologies leverage semi-permeable membranes to selectively allow certain substances to pass while blocking others, facilitating the separation, purification, and concentration of mixtures. This market encompasses diverse applications, including water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and gas separation.
The growing emphasis on water scarcity and quality has significantly propelled the demand for membrane technologies in water and wastewater treatment. Municipalities and industries are increasingly adopting membrane bioreactors (MBRs) and reverse osmosis systems to ensure compliance with stringent regulatory standards and to reclaim water for reuse. This trend is further supported by global initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable water management practices and driving investments in membrane technologies across regions.
The global membrane separation industry is characterized by rapid technological advancements, which have enhanced the performance and cost-effectiveness of membrane systems. Innovations in materials science have led to the development of new membrane types with improved selectivity, permeability, and durability, leading to market growth. Advanced membranes such as nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes are widely used in water treatment applications, effectively removing contaminants while conserving energy. Similarly, advancements in polymer and ceramic membranes are expanding membrane separation in industrial processes, providing solutions for complex separation challenges.
Membrane Separation Market Report Highlights
Based on technology, the reverse osmosis segment accounted for 44.30% market share in 2024, due to its effectiveness in producing high-purity water for various applications.
In terms of application, the water & wastewater treatment segment dominated the market in 2024, valued at 7,083.90 million. This dominance is attributed to the increasing global demand for clean water and the need for effective wastewater management.
Asia Pacific held 37.03% market share in 2024, due to rapid urbanization and industrialization in countries such as China and India. The rising population and expanding middle class in these countries created a pressing need for membrane separation.
The North America membrane separation market is expected to register a CAGR of 11.07% during the forecast period due to ongoing investments in water infrastructure and stringent regulatory frameworks.
The Europe membrane separation market held 21.11% of the global share in 2024 due to strict environmental regulations pushing industries to adopt sustainable water treatment solutions.
A few global key market players are Air Products; Applied Membranes Inc.; DuPont de; Merck KGaA; Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.; Nitto Denko Corporation; PCI Membranes; ProMinent Group; Sanborn Technologies; SPX FLOW; and Veolia Environnement S.A..
