Membrane Separation Technologies to 2012 - Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends

US membrane material demand will rise 8.2 percent annually through 2012, driven by ongoing interest in higher purity process fluids and increasingly strict water/wastewater quality rules. The best opportunities will emerge in pharmaceutical and medical markets, while water and wastewater treatment remain the largest markets.

This study analyzes the $2.9 billion US membrane industry, with forecasts for 2012 and 2017 by type (e.g., cellulosic membranes, polysulfone and nylon membranes, ceramic membranes); application (e.g., microfiltration, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, pervaporation); and market (e.g., water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals and medical uses, chemical processing, industrial gas processing).

The study considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 39 leading competitors, including Pall, Millipore, General Electric, Hydranautics, Dow Chemical, 3M, and Koch Membrane Systems.
