Pharmaceutical Membrane Filtration Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

Market Overview

Membrane technology covers all industrial approaches for the passage of substances between two segments with the help of permeable membranes. In general, machine-driven separation processes for separating gaseous or liquid streams use membrane technology. Membrane separation processes function without heating and therefore, use less energy than straight thermal separation processes such as distillation, sublimation or crystallization. The separation process is purely physical and both segments (permeate and retentate) can be used.

Recently, there has been an increase in the adoption of single-use technologies. There have also been advancements in nanofiltration technologies, that has increased its demand in pharmaceutical filtration. Manufacturers have also increased their adherence to good manufacturing practices (GMP). Hence all these factors have hence helped the market growth.

However, high operation cost has been preventing many manufacturers from adopting the technology. Moreover, maintenance procedures like mending membrane fouling, have also been restraining manufacturers from adopting. Hence all these factors have hindered the market growth.

Scope of the Report

Membrane filtration process is a physical separation method characterized by the ability to separate molecules of different sizes and characteristics. Its driving force is the difference in pressure between the two sides of a special membrane.

Key Market Trends

Microfiltration is Expected to Register a High CAGR Through the Forecast Period

Microfiltration (MF) is a pressure-driven separation process, which is widely used in concentrating, purifying or separating macromolecules, colloids and suspended particles from solution. It is extensively used for the cold sterilization of pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceuticals have been shown to lose their effectiveness upon heat addition. MF membranes are employed as a method to remove bacteria and other undesired suspensions from liquids, a procedure termed as 'cold sterilization', which negates the use of heat.

The use of microfiltration technology has increased in the recent decades due to increasing in pharmaceutical research and drug development. Therefore the microfiltration has become a crucial part of pharmaceutical research and development, and the demand for microfiltration technology is expected to rise in the future.
