Summary

Ceramic membranes are a type of artificial membranes and are used in membrane operations for liquid filtration. They can be used where aggressive media are present by contrast with polymeric membranes. Material types of ceramic membrane includes alumina, zirconium oxide, titania, and silicon carbide.

The India & Middle East ceramic membrane market is estimated to surpass US$ 1,687.20 million in terms of revenue by the end of 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.20% during the forecast period (2021 to 2028).

Drivers

Increasing demand for treated water in India & Middle East has been augmenting the target market growth. 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. Numerous pore sizes are offered for specific filtration requirements including microfiltration, ultra-filtration, and nano-filtration.

Growing requirement of high purity components for industrial applications is expected to foster the market growth of ceramic membrane. Augmented industrialization methods have given rise to a number of technologies such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nano-filtration, which uses ceramic membranes for separation. The group of porous membranes consisting of ceramic membranes are made with a well-defined pore size. Due to the high cost of ceramic membranes, manufacturers are focusing on developing newer membrane technologies and incorporating them into different applications. For instance, QUA, a key player in advanced membrane manufacturing products for the application of water and wastewater treatment, launched the CeraQ line of ceramic membrane modules, available in different sizes with surface area range. Moreover, in February 2017, Nanostone, a membrane solutions company, launched ‘CM-151’, its next generation membrane product.

Among India and Middle East, Middle East held dominant position in the India & Middle East ceramic membrane market in 2020, accounting for 60.9% market share in terms of revenue, followed by India.

Market Restraints

Cost involved in terms of initial capital investment and production of ceramic membranes is quite high compared to polymeric membranes when they are used for water treatment plants. Additionally, in environmental applications, the use of ceramic membranes has been limited due to cost considerations even though they offer various benefits in areas such as rugged structural stability, chemical, and thermal stability. These factors, together, are anticipated to hamper the India & Middle East ceramic membrane market growth.

Market Trends

Scarcity of water and waste reduction in Middle East is the current ceramic membrane market trend. Ceramic membranes manufactured from recycled locally-sourced materials could facilitate the cost-effective recycling of treated wastewater and help address water shortages in Middle East countries. This trend among industries is expected to further trigger demand for ceramic membranes from India & Middle East during the forecast period.

India & Middle East Ceramic Membrane Market - Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

In case of construction materials, in certain cases, used ceramic membranes can be reprocessed as raw ceramic material to make new components or other products. This moderates the disposal cost and removes landfill concerns. Water & wastewater treatment uses ceramic membranes for oil-water separation, retention of micro-organisms, retention of heavy metals and radio-active substances, and purification of sewage water, among others. Pharmaceutical industries extensively use ceramic membranes to concentrate and purify enzymes, amino acids, vitamins and antibiotics, and fractionation of blood and plasma, among other applications of ceramic membranes.
