Separation Machinery Market Report 2026

The separation machinery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $96.68 billion in 2025 to $101.81 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrialization driven demand for material separation, growth in chemical and process industries, expansion of oil and gas processing activities, increasing use of centrifuges in manufacturing, adoption of separation equipment in wastewater treatment.

The separation machinery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $125.5 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stricter environmental regulations on waste management, rising investments in water treatment infrastructure, growth of life sciences and biotechnology sectors, increasing focus on process efficiency optimization, adoption of advanced separation technologies in industrial processing. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of high efficiency centrifugal separation systems, increasing use of membrane based separation technologies, growing demand for automated and continuous separation equipment, expansion of separation machinery in water and wastewater treatment, focus on compact and energy efficient separation solutions.

The rising oil and gas exploration activities are anticipated to support the growth of the separation machinery market in the coming years. Oil and gas exploration is influenced by factors such as increasing global energy demand, technological advancements, geopolitical dynamics, fluctuations in oil prices, and the discovery of new reserves. Separation machinery improves the efficiency of exploration activities by effectively isolating hydrocarbons from impurities, leading to higher extraction rates and enhanced production efficiency. For example, in June 2023, the Energy Information Administration, a US-based federal statistical and analytical agency, reported that global oil demand is expected to grow by 6% between 2022 and 2028, reaching 105.7 million barrels per day. Additionally, global upstream investments in exploration, extraction, and production were projected to increase by 11% year-over-year to a record USD 528 billion in 2023. Therefore, increasing oil and gas exploration activities are driving the growth of the separation machinery market.

Major companies in the separation machinery market are introducing innovative products using advanced technologies such as solid-liquid separation to enhance efficiency, lower energy consumption, and address the rising demand for sustainable solutions. Solid-liquid separation technology enables effective removal of particulates from liquids and is widely used in industries including wastewater treatment, mining, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals. For instance, in July 2024, Vogelsang, a Germany-based equipment manufacturer, launched the XSplit Separator in the United States. This machine is designed to convert manure into bedding material by efficiently separating solids from liquids using a screw press mechanism and a high-quality elastomer sealing disc. It can achieve dry matter content levels of up to 40%. The equipment’s design reduces contact between liquid manure and mechanical components, improving durability and operational performance.

In January 2023, TerraSource Global Corporation, a US-based manufacturer of material sizing equipment, acquired Elgin Separation Solutions Industrials LLC for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition expands TerraSource Global’s offerings in the food, water, and oil and gas industries and complements its industrial processing equipment portfolio serving key markets such as mining and metals. Elgin Separation Solutions Industrials LLC is a US-based manufacturer specializing in separation machinery.
