Industrial Filtration Market by Type (Air and Liquid), Filter Media, Product, Industry (Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Pharmaceutical, Metal & Mining, Process Industry), and Region - Global Forecast to 2025

The global industrial filtration size is projected to reach USD 41.1 billion by 2025 from an estimated market size of USD  29.5 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. This growth is primarily due to the increasing investments in industrial water and wastewater treatment to improve the process efficiencies, and the need for better indoor air quality at industrial facilities.

The liquid type filtration segment is expected to the largest market, by type for industrial filtration during the forecast period.

The industrial filtration market, by type, is segmented into air and liquid. The liquid filtration segment is driven owing to the increase in demand for zero discharge & zero-emission from manufacturing, and public utilities. Furthermore, the advanced environmental technologies installed in wastewater treatment plants to treat industrial water is likely to increase the demand for liquid type filtration. The most commonly used technology for liquid filtration is pressure technology and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The nonwoven fabric segment is expected to the largest market, by filter media for industrial filtration from 2020 to 2025.

Nonwoven fabrics accounted for the highest share of the global industrial filtration market in 2019. The growth of this fabric is due to high absorbency, strength, and reliability. Nonwoven fabric is the most used filter media. The complex arrangement of fibers, high speed and low-cost manufacturing techniques, and various design possibilities due to the versatility of the structure make them suitable for use in a wide variety of industries such as pharmaceuticals, mineral processing, and others.

North America is expected to lead in the industrial filtration market.

North America is the largest market for industrial filtration during the forecast period. The region has been segmented by country into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The demand for industrial filtration in this region is driven mostly by applications such as pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, power generation, manufacturing, and process industry. The process industries are the largest industry in North America during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing demand for filtration in the food & beverage industry for removing dirt, rust, living bacteria, microorganisms, and other contaminants from beverages. Moreover, the increase in regulations for wastewater effluent treatment is likely to drive the market for industrial filtration.
