Global Ceramic Membrane Market – Insights
Ceramic membranes are a type of artificial membranes made from inorganic materials (such as alumina, silicon carbide or some glassy materials). They are used in membrane operations for liquid filtration. On the basis of material type, the ceramic membrane can be segmented into alumina, titania, zirconium oxides, and others. Major applications of ceramic membrane include, water and wastewater treatment, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemical processing, biotechnology, and others. Ceramic membrane finds application in technologies such as ultrafiltration, microfiltration, nano-filtration, and others. Increasing demand for ceramic membranes for various applications such as increasing demand of water and wastewater treatment projects is expected to propel growth of the global ceramic membrane market.
Among technologies, the ultrafiltration segment accounted for the largest market share in 2018, in terms of revenue. Ultrafiltration technology is suitable for pressure related operations, and to separate molecules present in water. They are nearly free of solids and effectively remove bacteria, parasites, and viruses. The ceramic membranes with ultrafiltration (with pore size around 10 nm) can be used to purify crude soybean oil from unwanted components such as free fatty acids, phospholipids, pigments, carbohydrates, sterols, proteins and their degradation products. Ultrafiltration has a varied range of applications including sterilization, water treatment, dairy processing, petroleum refining, and other applications.
According to the Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute (CGCRI), the project of developing ceramic casing filters for pre-treatment of sea water was intended to evaluate its suitability for removing arsenic and iron from seawater using ceramic membrane.
The scarcity of water is a key concern in some regions as a result of water pollution and rising population. The rising demand for water treatment is the main driver for the global ceramic membrane industry. Rampant increase in emerging activities in the water & wastewater treatment, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage & biotechnology sectors has fueled the ceramic membrane market in the Asia Pacific region.
The advantages associated with ceramic membrane are high flux, durability, chemical resistance and long life span which increases its use in several end-use industries. In environmental applications, the use of ceramic membranes has been very limited due to cost considerations even though they offer various unique benefits in the area, such as rugged structural stability, chemical and thermal stability.

North America is expected to witness the fastest growth in the global ceramic membrane market over the forecast period. Increasing demand for pure and high quality water, in addition to increasing use of advanced ceramic membranes in separation processes, is expected to fuel growth of ceramic membrane market in the near future in North America. According to American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), in 2018, 240 million Americans i.e. 76% of the population relied on the 14,748 treatment plants for wastewater sanitation. By 2032, it is expected that 56 million more people will connect to centralized treatment plants, rather than private septic systems, which is a 23% increase in demand.
Major players operating in the global ceramic membrane market include, TAMI Industries, Pall Corporation, A-tech Innovation GmbH, Hyflux Ltd., Jiangsu Jiuwu Hi-Tech Co. Ltd., Veolia Water Technologies, GEA Group, Nanostone Water Inc., LIQTECH A/S, Saint Gobain, Qua Group LLC., and Toray Industry Inc.
Furthermore, key players in the market are focused on adopting strategies such as technological development and collaborations in order to strengthen their footprint in the global ceramic membrane market. For instance, in 2016, Pall Corporation unveiled its new portfolio of mobile water products designed to meet customer needs across municipal and industrial markets. Water treatment solutions include the improved Aria FAST and the all new Impro FAST products to ensure the continuity of safe, reliable water production for communities and industries around the world.
Ceramic membranes are synthetic membranes made from inorganic constituents such as alumina, titania, silica, zirconia and others. Ceramic membranes generally have an irregular structure with several porosity levels. The ceramic membranes are made with a well-defined pore size. Owing to properties such as chemical and mechanical resistance, high purity components of ceramic membranes are suitable for industrial applications. The ceramic membranes has the probability of recovering and reusing the membrane material itself.
Other material include silicon carbide and silica made ceramic membranes. Extensive development of silicon carbide membranes is adding high value and performance in liquid & gaseous filtration products. Silicon carbide material is expected to favor growth of the global ceramic membrane market during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
Among material type, the zirconium oxide segment is expected to witness significant market share in the global ceramic membrane market. In 2018, the segment accounted for 27.7% share in the global ceramic membrane market in terms of revenue. Technological advancement in preparing flexible zirconium oxide ceramic material to extend its use in different configurations and high crack propagation resistance of this ceramic material is expected to have a positive impact on global ceramic membrane market in the near future.
Among regions, Asia Pacific held dominant position in the global ceramic membrane market in terms of revenue share, in 2018. Pharmaceutical industries extensively use ceramic membranes to concentrate and purify enzymes, amino acids, vitamins and antibiotics, fractionation of blood and plasma, and others. According to India Brand Equity Foundation, the pharmaceutical sector generated a revenue of US$ 33 billion in 2017 and is expected expand at a CAGR of 22.4% to reach market size of US$ 55 billion by 2020.
