Membrane Separation Technologies NEW US industry forecasts for 2016 & 2021

This study analyzes the US market for membranes used in separation applications. Historical data (2001, 2006, 2011) and forecasts to 2016 and 2021 are provided for membrane revenues by material (polymeric and nonpolymeric), by type (microfiltration, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, pervaporation and other) and by market (water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical and medical markets, chemical production, industrial gases and other). Demand is presented in millions of US dollars and millions of square feet. As used in this study, the term “demand” refers to US sales or apparent consumption and denotes US production plus imports, less exports. Tabular details may not add to totals due to independent rounding. Ratios may be rounded for the sake of clarity.

Information and data on membranes were obtained from several primary and secondary sources, including government agencies and trade associations, industry participants, online databases and other Freedonia studies. Primary information was gathered through consultations with personnel of participating companies. Secondary data and background information were obtained from various publications, including Beverage Industry, Chemical Week, Filtration and Separation, Filtration Industry Analyst, Journal of Membrane Science, Pollution Engineering, Ultrapure Water, Water & Wastes Digest, Water Conditioning & Purification International and WaterWorld.

Corporate sales figures represent estimates based on annual reports, SEC 10-K reports, security analyst reports, corporate product literature, and interviews with competitors and with responsible officers in the companies themselves. Macroeconomic and demographic indicators used in this study were obtained from The Freedonia Group Incorporated Consensus Forecasts dated December 2011.
