Ultrafiltration is a pressure-driven barrier to suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, endotoxin and other pathogens. It is a membrane filtration in which hydrostatic pressure forces a liquid against semi-permeable membrane. The ultrafiltration filter has pore size of around 0.01 micron. This technique is majorly used to produce the product with high purity and low slit density. The rapid expansion around the world results in large volumes of wastewater being discharged therefore demand for water and wastewater treatment is increasing with rising industrialization and urbanization. On the other hand treatment of industrial waste is essential because it contains different waste substances such as food scrap, oils, soaps and toxic chemicals, water suspension, viruses, heavy metals, fluorides, chlorides, by-products of disinfection and pesticide residues are all likely to pose a health threat and can have negative impact on nature and human if not treated properly. For instance, according to United Nations Water, 80% of wastewater flows back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused, thereby resulting in 1.8 billion people to use it as a source of drinking water especially in rural areas. Various government initiatives for providing suitable drinking water to consumers such as the Clean Water Act and European Drinking Directive promote the need for water and wastewater treatment. Therefore the need for water & wastewater treatment is expected to drive the market growth for ultrafiltration in upcoming years.

North America Ultrafiltration Market Report Outlook

The major driver for ultrafiltration market is increasing awareness among people about the waterborne disease. The increasing pollution in North America had led to the adoption of wastewater treatment plants which is fueling the market growth. For instance, in September 2019 BASF and DuPont announced the signed agreement where BASF will sell its ultrafiltration membrane business to DuPont. Besides innovation and technologies of ultrafiltration is fueling the market growth. The key factor for the growth is rise in population and expansion of industries across globe.

North America Ultrafiltration Market Segmental Overview

The Ultrafiltration market is segmented based on by type, by module, by application and geography.


North America Ultrafiltration Market By Type

The Ultrafiltration market have the membrane type polymeric and ceramic.

Polymeric membrane is the membrane casted and penetrates the support layer to increase membrane life and eliminate fiber breaks. These membrane are majorly used in waste water application with advance in polymer coating technologies. Polymeric membrane is the most cost effective for ultrafiltration applications. Ceramic membrane has a range of Ultrafiltration application for the treatment of highly turbid water. Ceramic membrane are widely available at lower costs. In addition saltworks have developed robust process and control system to keep ceramic membranes clean. By type ceramic ultrafiltration membrane is expected to dominate in the North America ultrafiltration market.

North America Ultrafiltration Market By Module

The Ultrafiltration module are available in hollow fiber and tubular.

The hollow fiber module has hundreds of tubes resembling tiny straws bundled together to create filter matrix. The walls of these tubes are filled with microscopic pores which ultimately prevents the pathogen entry.  Hollow fiber filtration utilizes thousands of long, porous filaments ranging from 1-3.5 mm wide that are potted in PVC shell. The hollow fiber module is projected to account the largest share of the ultrafiltration market due to its high throughput and ease of cleanliness when compared to other filtration.

North America Ultrafiltration Market By Application

Ultrafiltration market find its major application in municipal treatment and industrial treatment.

The industrial segment is anticipated to lead the ultrafiltration market in the upcoming years. The ultrafiltration is widely used in the different sectors like food & beverages specifically for emphasis on excellent pH and temperature resistance. The major demand of ultrafiltration market include in dairy industry, biotechnology for the production of ultrapure water for microelectronics, oil emulsion waste. Ultrafiltration represents an alternative technology to RO technologies for the water purification as it has low operating cost and adaptive. In Municipal treatment the ultrafiltration is an effective method for reducing slit density index of water and removing particulates that can foul osmosis membrane. Ultrafiltration is used in water and wastewater treatment plants for elimination of microbes, desalination of seawater, sewage treatment, household wastewater treatment and treatment of natural mineral water, production of drinking water and treatment of brackish water. Ultrafiltration is an effective means of reducing the silt density index of water and removing particulates that can foul reverse osmosis membranes. 

 North America Ultrafiltration Market By Geography

Geographically the ultrafiltration market is studied for North America region in following countries U.S, Canada and Mexico.

North America has accounted the largest share and is expected to grow its market in the ultrafiltration as the demand is increasing due to high level of pollution from industrial, commercial and residential waste. Beside ceramic ultrafiltration dominate in the market due to increasing factors of rise in demand for clean and purified water and APAC region is the largest market for the ultrafiltration due increasing demand for ultrafiltration from pharmaceutical and food & beverage industries in the region.
