Ceramic Membrane Market – Forecasts and Opportunity Assessment by Technavio

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#MetalsandMinerals–According to the latest market study released by Technavio,
the global
ceramic membrane market is expected to grow at a CAGR of almost 12%
during the forecast period.

This research report titled ‘Global
Ceramic Membrane Market 2017-2021’ provides an in-depth analysis of
the market in terms of revenue and emerging market trends. This market
research report also includes up to date analysis and forecasts for
various market segments and all geographical regions.

The global ceramic membrane market is growing with the increasing demand
from various end-use industries such as water and wastewater treatment,
food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. In 2016, by
technology, the ultrafiltration segment had the largest share and
accounted for 48% of the total market share because of its efficiency in
both non-aqueous and aqueous solutions. By application, the water and
wastewater treatment segment had the largest market share of 55% due to
increasing issues with water scarcity, water desalination processes, and
growing demand for quality water. The food and beverages segment is
expected to grow at the highest CAGR due to increasing demand for
recovery of materials, sterilization of milk, and clarification of
juices and beer.

The top three revenue-generating application segments of the global
ceramic membrane market are discussed below:

Water and wastewater treatment

Water treatment is a stepwise procedure to eliminate the chemical,
physical, and biological contaminants. It eliminates bacteria, solids,
and nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates from wastewater. Ceramic
membranes are used to replace the conventional water treatment
techniques such as biological and chemical treatment, and physical
filtration.

According to Hitesh Bhatia, a lead metals
and minerals research analyst from Technavio, “The water and
wastewater treatment segment has the largest share of 55% of the global
ceramic membrane market. This is owing to the growing demand for safe
drinking water, increasing issues of water scarcity, and water
desalination processes. Ceramic membrane filtration helps in filtering
fluids down to 0.005 microns and helps in removing most of the
contaminants. It removes oils and greases, metallic soaps, biological
solids and insoluble salts, metal fines and hydroxides, and colloids
from the wastewater stream.”

Food and beverage

The food and beverage application segment is expected to grow at the
fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Among all the separation
technologies, ceramic membranes are widely used due to their
low-temperature processing and less energy-intensive nature. Filtration,
isolation, acidification or deacidification, and purification are
crucial in food and beverage applications.

“In this segment, water reuse solutions decrease the consumption of
water and energy, which minimizes the plant’s environmental impact and
aids the companies in reaching their water usage ratio goals. The dairy
and beverage segments are the major application areas for ceramic
membranes in the industry. They are also used for prefiltration in
reverse-osmosis manufacturing plants,” adds Hitesh.

Pharmaceuticals

The demand for ceramic membranes in pharmaceutical applications is
increasing due to its filtration properties. Nanofiltration ceramic
membranes play a crucial role in filtration and sterilization of medical
appliances.

Bio-ceramics are bio-compatible ceramic material mainly employed in
medical and dental applications such as replacements and implants,
especially dental and bone implants. Joint replacements are coated with
bio-ceramics to reduce the inflammatory response and wear. Other
applications of bioceramics include the use in kidney dialysis
machines, pacemakers, and respirators.
