Industrial Separator Market Report 2026

The industrial separator market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $12.25 billion in 2025 to $13.52 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of oil and gas processing, chemical production growth, need for impurity removal, reliance on conventional separation methods, industrial waste management requirements.

The industrial separator market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.02 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stricter environmental regulations, demand for resource recovery, automation in process industries, growth of water treatment infrastructure, energy-efficient separation technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for high-efficiency separation, adoption of advanced centrifugal technologies, growth in waste and water treatment applications, integration of automated separation systems, expansion of multi-phase separation.

The increasing oil production is expected to drive the growth of the industrial separator market going forward. Rising oil production is fueled by technological advancements, such as hydraulic fracturing, which access previously unreachable reserves. Additionally, growing global energy demand motivates producers to increase output to meet consumption needs and maximize revenue. Industrial separators support oil production by efficiently removing gas, water, and sediment from extracted oil, enhancing processing efficiency and product quality. For example, in December 2023, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a U.S.-based government agency, U.S. crude oil production rose from 12.1 million barrels per day in 2022 to 12.5 million barrels per day in 2023, reflecting continued domestic growth and reinforcing the country’s status as a leading global energy producer. Hence, the rise in oil production is propelling the industrial separator market.

Major companies in the industrial separator market are concentrating on developing advanced products, such as high-speed industrial separators, to enhance efficiency and performance across various industrial processes. High-speed separators increase separation efficiency by generating intense centrifugal forces, which enable more effective segregation of materials with different densities or particle sizes. For example, in January 2023, Alfa Laval AB, a Sweden-based machinery manufacturer, introduced biofuel-ready separators. These separators are designed to seamlessly handle hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) blends, which are essential for marine diesel engines, without requiring significant modifications. They comply with standards such as HVO (EN15940) and FAME (EN14214 or ASTM D6751), making them suitable for various fuels, including residual and distillate fuels. Alfa Laval has upgraded the internal bowl components and separator software to better accommodate biofuels. This enhancement allows for easy switching between HVO, FAME blends, and traditional fuels by adjusting parameters. The separators are engineered to manage the unique properties of biofuels, such as varying densities and moisture absorption, which can impact fuel storage and processing.

In January 2023, TerraSource Global Corporation, a US-based machinery manufacturing company, acquired Elgin Separation Solutions for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to broaden TerraSource Global's portfolio into new industry sectors, including food, water, and oil and gas, while offering comprehensive, turn-key solutions for customers in mining, recycling, and industrial waste management. Elgin Separation Solutions, a US-based manufacturer of industrial separators, specializes in solid and liquid separation technologies.
