Recent advancements in the petrochemical industries has led to an increased use of membranes for gas separation. The membranes act as a permeable medium through which gas molecules can pass on the basis of their size and solubility in the medium. Gas separation membrane system is widely used to separate air into oxygen and nitrogen, in natural gas dehydration process, for hydrogen gas recovery in oil refinery, for the removal of volatile organic liquids (VOL) from exhaust streams, and for separation of methane from biogas. A variety of membrane materials have been used for gas separation such as polymer, zeolite, silica, and others. For instance, in March 2019, NGK Insulators, Ltd., a Japanese ceramics company announced the use of DDR-type zeolite membrane for the demonstration test of CO₂ recovery during oil production.

Market Dynamics

Market players are increasing investments in research and development activities, which could contribute to the growth of the global gas separation membrane market over the forecast period. For instance, in February 2018, Air Liquide Advanced Separations, a French chemical and electronics manufacturer made an investment of US$ 170 million for setting up an Air Separation Unit (ASU) in Secunda that produces 5,000 tons of oxygen per day. This enabled the company to expand their market potential to South Africa region.

Market players are focusing on launch of products, which is expected to strengthen their position in the global gas separation membrane market. For instance, in 2018, Evonik Industries AG, a German chemical company launched SEPURAN NG membrane to enable efficient processing of natural gas.

Market players are involved in market strategies such as acquisition and partnership with other companies in order to enhance distribution, this is expected to drive the growth of the gas separation membrane market. For instance, in 2018, Air Products and Chemicals Inc., an American chemical company, signed an agreement with Royal Dutch Shell plc, a British-Dutch oil and gas company to acquire its coal gasification technology business. Moreover, in April 2017, Honeywell UOP, an American oil and gas company received a contract from Dangote oil refinery to provide design services, technology licensing, and advanced equipment for oil and gas refinery plants.
