RO and UF Membranes Market - Forecast (2021 - 2026)
Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Ultra-Filtration (UF) membranes market was valued at $XXX million in 2025 after growing at the CAGR of X% over the forecast period from 2020-2025. Primarily due to the increase in replacement of chemical treatment of water by physical treatment technologies such as RO, UF, and others. Reverse Osmosis and Ultra-Filtration are different methods of Membrane filtration processes used for removing particles or unwanted substances from a solution. Rising demand in pharmaceutical, chemical processing, waste water management and others are other factors responsible for the growth in market demand. The novel Corona virus has negatively impacted the growth rate of RO and UF Membranes market.

RO and UF Membranes Market Segment Analysis - By Type
In terms of type, the RO and UF membranes market can be bifurcated into cellulose acetate asymmetric membrane, polyamide thin film composite membrane, polyamide thin film composite membrane and solution coated composite membrane. The polyamide thin film composite membrane segment dominated the global reverse osmosis membrane market in 2019. Thin film composite membranes are estimated to grow at a higher CAGR due to their high fluxes and salt rejections. These membranes are used in RO and UF desalination systems, due to their tolerance to wide operating pH and temperature compared to the cellulose-based membrane.
RO and UF Membranes Market Segment Analysis - By Application
Based on the application, the water & wastewater treatment segment dominated the RO and UF membranes market in 2019. RO and UF membranes are primarily used in water/ wastewater treatment for desalination, sewage water treatment, and industrial water treatment. Enhanced urbanization, rapid industrialization, and expansion of municipal water facilities are estimated to further boost the RO and UF membranes market in water and wastewater treatment applications. Additionally, changes in the water cycle dynamics, and strict regulations to reduce water pollution, is also driving the membranes market.
RO and UF Membranes Market Segment Analysis - By Geography
The North American market accounted for the largest market share in 2019 primarily due to the presence of key players such as The Dow Chemicals, GE Corporation and others. Additionally, North America is projected to account for significant RO membrane market share during the forecast period, 2020-2025, owing to high awareness about water borne diseases among people and usage of RO systems by industries and governments. The U.S. dominated the market for RO membranes in North America in 2019. Additionally, the RO and UF membrane market in Asia Pacific is projected to grow at a rapid pace during forecast period, 2020-2025.
RO and UF Membranes Market Drivers
Rising Environmental Concerns to Accelerate Growth
Rapid industrialization and urbanization, especially in the developing countries is resulting in water pollution leading to an increase in strain on water resources. The governments and regulatory bodies of several countries are implementing strict norms and laws regarding industry discharge to regulate and control water pollution. The increasing environmental concerns have thus, forced large portion of the industries to adopt membrane-based technology for curbing the level and severity of pollutants in their discharge streams.
Expected high growth in Asia Pacific region
Geographically, Asia Pacific procured $xx million in 2019 in terms of RO and UF membrane market. This growth in the area can be attributed to the major contributions of countries, such as Australia, India, Japan, and China. Japan is considered to be one of the largest producers of UF and RO membranes globally. Several planned desalination projects in India and China are set to enhance the growth of the market in this region. Chennai in India has two major desalination plants with capacity of 100 million litres per day (MLD) in each of the plants.
RO and UF Membranes Market Challenges
Loss of essential minerals from water post use of RO and UF membranes
When used for cooking, water filtered through RO and UF membranes was found to cause substantial losses of all essential elements from food including vegetables, meat and cereals. Such losses may reach up to 60 % for magnesium and calcium or even more for some other micro-elements i.e., copper 66 %, manganese 70 %, cobalt 86 %. These issues might deter customers to consume filtered waters, thus, negatively impacting the RO and UF Membranes market.
Market Landscape
Mergers and acquisitions and new product development are some of the key strategies adopted by industry operators. The Dow Chemicals, GE Corporation, Koch Membrane System, Oasys Water, Pennwell Corporation, Toray, TOYOBA, Hydranautics, Seccua GmbH and Synder Filtration among others.
