Industrial Filtration Global Market Report 2024

Industrial filtration involves the use of systems to separate particles and substances from liquids and gases, with the aim of prolonging the lifespan of manufacturing equipment and safeguarding the working environment. The processes related to industrial filtration encompass the manufacturing and sale of pleated air filter elements, rolled goods, finished air filter bags, cages, and accessories, as well as impulse air cleaning products and associated services. This not only helps in maintaining the purity of process outputs in manufacturing plants or adjacent areas but also aids in the removal of contaminants from the air and gas during operations.

The primary categories of industrial filtration include liquid and air filtration. Liquid industrial filtration pertains to systems designed for filtering liquid-state components, particularly those with high solids concentration in a continuous process. This filtration process is a fundamental unit operation widely practiced in the chemical process, petroleum, and related industries. Various filters, such as activated carbon/charcoal, fiberglass, filter paper, metal, and non-woven fabric, are employed in liquid filtration. Key products in industrial filtration include bag filters, filter presses, cartridge filters, depth filters, drum filters, electrostatic precipitators, ULPA, and HEPA filters. These products find applications across diverse industries, including food and beverage, chemicals and petrochemicals, power generation, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, metal and mining, and automotive.

The industrial filtration market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $31.86 billion in 2023 to $34.06 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the expansion of industrialization and manufacturing activities, heightened awareness of workplace health and safety, the growth of water treatment and wastewater management, the imperative for process optimization and efficiency in industries, and an increased focus on the removal of contaminants in industrial processes.

The industrial filtration market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $44.56 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a heightened focus on sustainable and eco-friendly filtration solutions, the widespread adoption of advanced nanofiber and membrane filtration technologies, a growing demand for high-purity filtration in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, increased research and development in next-generation filtration materials and processes, and the expanding presence of filtration solutions in the healthcare and life sciences sectors. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the use of advanced membrane filtration for liquid and gas separation, the application of nanofiber technology for enhanced filtration efficiency, the integration of IoT-enabled filtration systems for condition monitoring, the utilization of high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) and ultra-low penetration air (ULPA) filtration, and the incorporation of filtration in 3D printing and additive manufacturing processes.

The growth of the industrial filtration market is anticipated to be driven by the imperative of ensuring a safe working environment in industrial facilities. Industries harbor various pollutant substances, including coarse and liquid dust pollutants, acetylene, benzene, methane, ethane, propane, and hydrogen, which can adversely impact the health of employees. To safeguard the well-being and productivity of workers, the establishment of a safe working environment is crucial. Government mandates and regulations pertaining to occupational health and safety further emphasize the necessity of a safe working environment. This imperative is expected to create a substantial demand for industrial filtration, as it plays a vital role in eliminating contaminating particles from the air and other gases in industrial facilities. For instance, in January 2023, the Health and Safety Executive in the UK reported a nearly 6% increase in the number of workers experiencing work-related ill health in the year 2021/22, affecting 1.8 million individuals. Work-related stress, depression, or anxiety accounted for 51% of these cases, followed by musculoskeletal disorders at 27%. Thus, the necessity of a safe working environment in industrial facilities propels the growth of the industrial filtration market.

The stringent regulations and policies imposed by governments are poised to drive the growth of the industrial filtration market in the future. The adoption of advanced industrial filtration systems is propelled by these strict regulations, ensuring compliance with environmental and safety standards. Regulations related to environmental protection, air and water quality standards, occupational health and safety, public health concerns, and economic incentives are compelling industries to invest in industrial filtration solutions. For example, the Clean Air Act in the U.S. focuses on combating air pollution and improving air quality, directly influencing the industrial filtration sector. Industries must employ filtration systems to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) outlined in the Clean Air Act. Hence, stringent government regulations and policies are instrumental in driving the growth of the industrial filtration market.

A key trend gaining prominence in the industrial filtration market is technological innovation. Advanced filtration technologies such as spray booth filters, custom-engineered porous polymer solutions, nanofiber technology, and others are being implemented to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize the environmental impact of industrial wastes. Major companies in the industrial filtration market are prioritizing the development of technologically advanced filtration systems to strengthen their market positions. For instance, Veolia Water Technologies, a France-based water treatment solutions company, introduced the Filtraflo FCP-P in February 2022 - a multimedia pressure filter designed for depth filtration with high dirt-holding capacity. This modular, high-performance system, suitable for various applications, offers advanced filtration capabilities and can be optimized for maintenance and control. Technological advancements like these contribute to the growth of the industrial filtration market.

Major companies in the industrial filtration market are investing in innovative products to gain a competitive edge. For instance, in September 2023, PPG Industries, a U.S.-based paints and coatings manufacturing company, launched high-performance ultrafiltration (UF) membrane and filter elements for industrial process water and wastewater applications. These UF membranes feature proprietary antifouling treatment technology, making them superhydrophilic and inhibiting fouling by challenging contaminants. This innovation aims to extend membrane service life, reduce maintenance and replacement costs, and improve water reuse in various industries. The applications for these filtration membranes span industries such as oil and gas, automotive, and industrial paint lines. Such product innovations contribute to the competitiveness and growth of the industrial filtration market.
