Filtration Equipment Global Market Report 2025

The filtration equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $14.75 billion in 2024 to $15.86 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising industrialization, increasing pollution levels, growing demand for clean and safe water, expansion of manufacturing sectors, and heightened awareness of environmental regulations.

The filtration equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.25 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a growing focus on sustainable manufacturing, increasing investments in water treatment infrastructure, the expansion of the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, and rising demand for air purification systems. Major trends expected during this period include technological advancements in membrane filtration, innovations in smart filtration systems, the development of energy-efficient filters, ongoing research and development in nanofiltration, and the increasing integration of automation and the Internet of Things in filtration equipment.

The growing demand for sustainable wastewater management is expected to drive the expansion of the filtration equipment market. Sustainable wastewater management involves treating, reusing, and disposing of wastewater in ways that safeguard public health, protect ecosystems, and conserve water resources. This demand is primarily fueled by increasing freshwater scarcity, which has heightened the importance of wastewater recycling to meet domestic, agricultural, and industrial water needs. Filtration equipment plays a critical role in this process by effectively removing contaminants, making treated wastewater suitable for reuse, and reducing the environmental footprint of water treatment operations. For example, in August 2024, UN-Water reported that 268 billion cubic meters of household wastewater were generated globally in 2022, with 155 billion cubic meters (58%) safely treated. These figures highlight the growing emphasis on sustainable solutions, driving demand for efficient filtration technologies.

Key players in the filtration equipment market are focusing on innovative media designs, such as gradient mesh structure technologies, to improve operational efficiency and filtration performance. Gradient mesh structure media refers to filter designs that incorporate varying pore sizes across layers, allowing for more efficient contaminant trapping and extended filter life. For instance, in January 2025, Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc., a US-based provider of filtration solutions, introduced its NanoNet N3 filter media technology. This advanced filter features a unique gradient mesh structure that offers increased dirt-holding capacity, improved equipment protection, and extended service intervals. The technology allows for more compact filters and contributes to sustainability efforts by reducing the consumption of raw materials and energy during production.

In November 2024, Micronics Engineered Filtration Group Inc., a US-based company specializing in industrial filtration, acquired Action Filtration Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move enhances Micronics’ ability to deliver comprehensive engineered filtration solutions, particularly in air pollution control and industrial environmental applications. The acquisition strengthens Micronics’ product offerings with high-performance pleated filters, cartridge dust collector filters, and other advanced technical filtration products. Action Filtration Inc., also based in the United States, manufactures and distributes a wide range of industrial filtration equipment tailored for demanding industrial environments.

Filtration equipment refers to mechanical systems designed to separate solids from liquids or gases by passing them through a porous medium or filter. These systems range in complexity from basic mesh screens to sophisticated membrane filters and vacuum filtration setups. The primary purpose is to eliminate impurities, contaminants, or particulate matter to ensure product quality, safeguard downstream equipment, and comply with environmental and regulatory standards.

The main categories of filtration equipment include air filtration, liquid filtration, and dust filtration. Air filtration involves removing particles, contaminants, and pollutants from the air to enhance its quality and safety. This process is classified by technology into depth filtration and surface filtration, and it is utilized across various industries such as manufacturing, power generation, mining and metallurgy, oil and gas, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals.
