The Membrane Filtration Technologies Market is projected to reach $22.2 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2023 to 2030. The growth of the membrane filtration technologies market is driven by the growing need for water reclamation and reuse technologies, the high consumption of water in the food & beverage processing industry, and the increasing prevalence of waterborne diseases. However, high installation, maintenance, and operating costs and a lack of awareness of using water treatment techniques restrain the growth of this market.
The growing demand for energy-efficient and advanced water treatment technologies is expected to create growth opportunities for the players operating in the membrane filtration technologies market. However, retrofitting membrane filtration technologies in existing infrastructure poses a major challenge for market growth.
