Global Industrial Filtration Market to Reach $39.2 Billion by 2026

Industrial filtration mainly relates to the constant filtering-out of effluents through the use of robust filter media and containing them in a filter bag. Liquid-state raw materials and chemicals as well as industrial gases that are used in industries should be filtered from impurities to improve the quality of the final products that are produced. Industrial environments need to be equipped with heavy duty and superior industrial filtration systems for enhancing air quality in the work area. This consequently enhances production output and durability of machinery, while ensuring safety of workers. The global industrial filtration market is being buoyed by strict regulations related to treatment of industrial waste and emissions, need for safe working space in industrial facilities, and increasing urbanization and industrialization in countries across the world. The water and wastewater treatment sector is a key driving force of the market. The industry includes various processes such as effluent treatment, water recycling, water treatment, and sewage treatment. Further, the industry comprises technologies such as testing, disinfection, and distillation. This is expected to spur the demand for industrial filtration, which is required to eliminate pipe scale, algae, sand, and slit from the main water source.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Industrial Filtration estimated at US$27.8 Billion in the year 2020, is projected to reach a revised size of US$39.2 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% over the analysis period. Liquid, one of the segments analyzed in the report, is projected to grow at a 5.5% CAGR to reach US$22.6 Billion by the end of the analysis period.

The U.S. Market is Estimated at $12.1 Billion in 2021, While China is Forecast to Reach $4.1 Billion by 2026

The Industrial Filtration market in the U.S. is estimated at US$12.1 Billion in the year 2021. The country currently accounts for a 41.97% share in the global market. China, the world second largest economy, is forecast to reach an estimated market size of US$4.1 Billion in the year 2026 trailing a CAGR of 8.1% through the analysis period. Among the other noteworthy geographic markets are Japan and Canada, each forecast to grow at 4.2% and 5.5% respectively over the analysis period. Within Europe, Germany is forecast to grow at approximately 4.7% CAGR while Rest of European market (as defined in the study) will reach US$4.4 Billion by the close of the analysis period.

Rising concerns related to the adverse impact of pollutants present in ambient air is leading to surging adoption of filtration technologies in several areas such as manufacturing units and warehouses in developed as well as developing countries. Electronics, electrical and equipment manufacturing sectors are also increasingly using air filtration systems, as they need an environment that is free of dust. The market is buoyed by rising concerns relating to air pollution on account of various industrial processes, growing environmental awareness, increasing need to control quality of industrial air in various industries, fast-paced industrialization, especially in Asia-Pacific, strict government policies which aim to eliminate or restrict airborne pollutant concentrations in order to safeguard human health, and increasing demand among customers for high quality products. The manufacturing sector is the primary driver of the industrial filtration market and is anticipated to account for a significant market share. Robust industrial and infrastructural development will also foster the growth of the market. Government regulations relating to emissions and implementation of worker safety and health regulations in various regions worldwide are also likely to spur market growth. To comply with the various regulations that are being enforced to curb air and water pollution, several companies are deploying various kinds of filtering systems at their facilities, and this is proving to be favorable for the market. In many countries in Europe and certain regions in Asia such as South Korea, India, and China, regulations related to industrial sectors have been made stringent. The EU is said to have registered considerable economic growth, post the enforcement of strict environmental policies. In 2013, the region adopted the directive of the Clean Air Policy Package, which is said to have aided in the prevention of about 58,000 deaths per annum, through the enforcement of better policies.

Also, the rising need for energy efficient and high performance products, and the establishment of novel power production facilities to meet the increasing demand for electricity are expected to bode well for the market. Filtration is performed in power plants to maintain turbine performance, to prevent the release of fly ash from coal chimneys or other solid fuel sources, or for filtering feed water of boiler. Rising use of cartridges, filters and combinations is also expected to drive gains in the market. Further, increasing investments in industrial filtration units in chemical industries is anticipated to bode well for the market. These units are also leveraged to constrain energy requirements during the process of bleaching in the chemical sector. The rising installation of air quality mapping platforms is acting as a catalyst to market growth. Technological developments in industrial air purification systems are likely to offer growth opportunities for the market. For instance, the use of inhibited oxidation in wet scrubbers offers several benefits such as reduced lifecycle cost, low usage of reagent, and lesser reagent cost. In the process of inhibited oxidation, the reagent feed tank is added with emulsified sulfur, lowering the rate of oxidation to under 15%, thereby facilitating the use of relatively inexpensive materials, as the likelihood for corrosion is eliminated. Regulatory efforts in light of GHG emissions and changes in weather conditions have required enhancements in media technology and filter design. This is likely to drive the market in the coming years.
