World demand to rise 9.2% annually through 2017

Worldwide demand for membranes is projected to increase a healthy 9.2 percent annually to $25.7 billion in 2017. Ongoing economic improvement through 2017 will boost gains in several key geographic markets where the global recession of 2009 and subsequent slow recovery restrained manufacturing activity and capital investments through 2012. Rising environmental standards and regulations in many parts of the world and high population growth, particularly in water-stressed areas, will further drive investment in membranebased water and wastewater treatment systems. Increased attention paid to food and beverage safety regulations, and rising interest in water reuse and material reclamation will also propel membrane sales.

China to be fastest growing national market

The countries that are expected to see the fastest growth include the BRIC countries and others with large, developing industrial bases and stressed local water resources. Combined, the US and China, the two largest individual markets for membranes in 2012, are expected to account for 43 percent of the market gains between 2012 and 2017. In 2012, the Asia/Pacific region surpassed North America to become the largest regional market, with 36 percent of global membrane sales. This region is led by the rapidly developing Chinese market, which represented 15 percent of global demand in 2012 and is projected to post the fastest growth rate through the forecast period. North America accounted for 27 percent of global membrane sales in 2012. Demand in this region is forecast to accelerate through 2017 from the more modest gains of the 2007-2012 period. Advances will be aided by the ongoing development of improved membranes and related systems to accommodate newer water quality regulations, the use of low-quality water in water-stressed regions, and rising interest in the more efficient use of water resources. Western Europe and Japan are similar to the US in the maturity of their water infrastructures, the type of regulatory environment, and the level of technological sophistication in manufacturing. The relative affluence of these countries allows for the use of advanced technologies despite their high upfront costs. In developing countries, gains will be based on the continued growth of waterintensive industries, and rising investment in modernizing water and waste infrastructure, particularly in areas that need to tap brackish or poor quality water resources. However, in many of the least developed countries growth will be more limited due to lack of adequate funding and the availability of lower cost options such as conventional filters.

Desalination is key use of membranes in select markets

Treatment of seawater and brackish water sources is a key use for membranes in certain regions. For instance, much of the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caribbean have invested in such membrane- based systems to ensure a sufficient supply of water for drinking, agriculture, and industry. Thermal distillation plants were more common, but even oil-rich nations are switching to more efficient reverse osmosis and other membranebased desalination technologies. Other countries, such as Australia, China, India, Israel, Japan, Singapore, Spain, and the US, have also added membrane-based desalination capacity in recent years.
