PVDF Membrane Market Analysis
The PVDF membrane market is projected to register a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period (2021-2026).
The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane is used at chemical processing and other industrial facilities for various applications, including pressure-driven water- and waste-treatment and membrane contact operations, including acid gas absorption, stripping, volatile organic compounds removal, and others. Considering the pandemic scenario, these facilities, including chemical processing units, were stopped temporarily during the lockdown to curb the spread of the COVID-19 cases, thus had decreased the demand for the PVDF membrane. However, PVDF membrane is also used for filtration purposes in the pharmaceutical industry, including clarification and sterilization of protein-containing solutions during drug manufacturing and other applications, owing to its low protein binding properties and minimal interaction nature with sample components. The demand for various medicines has been increased during the current pandemic situation. Thus, this has increased the application of the PVDF membrane.
- Over the short term, the growing applications in water and wastewater treatment are expected to drive the market's growth.
- On the flip side, the high cost of PVDF membranes is expected to hinder the growth of the market.
- Increasing research and development for more advanced and highly efficient PVDF membranes will create opportunities for the market in the coming years.
- The Asia-Pacific region dominated the global market, with the largest consumption coming from China, India, and Japan.
