World Membrane Separation Technologies NEW Forecasts for 2015 & 2020 in 21 countries

This study analyzes the world market for membrane materials, including microfiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and other (i.e., nanofiltration, direct osmosis, dialysis, electrodialysis and pervaporation) membranes. Markets include water treatment, wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical and medical, and other (e.g., chemical processing, industrial gases and environmental applications). Historical data for 2000, 2005 and 2010 and forecasts for 2015 and 2020 are provided for demand at the manufacturers’ level in current US dollars (including inflation). As used in this study, the term “demand” refers to sales or apparent consumption and denotes production from a nation’s indigenous membrane manufacturing facilities plus imports, less exports. Tabular details may not add to totals due to independent rounding. Ratios may be rounded for the sake of clarity.

A wide variety of primary and secondary sources were used in the compilation of this report. These include national and regional statistical agencies, industry experts, trade associations, online databases and other Freedonia studies. The US Census Bureau, European Union, International Monetary Fund, Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), United Nations, World Bank and various national government statistical publications were among the public sector data sources utilized. Primary information was gathered through consultations with personnel of participating companies. Secondary data and background information were obtained from various publications, including Desalination & Water Reuse, Filtration+Separation, Pollution Engineering, Ultrapure Water, Water Environment & Technology and WaterWorld.

Macroeconomic and demographic indicators presented in this study were obtained from The Freedonia Group Consensus Forecasts dated January 2011. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) historical data are derived from the national income and products accounts from the Organisation for Economic Co- Operation and Development (OECD) for its member countries, from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for its member countries, and from the International Monetary Fund for its member countries that are not part of the OECD or EBRD. Sources of GDP estimates for other countries are based on information from the World Bank and a variety of sources including the countries’ statistical bureaus. GDP forecasts are developed from a consensus of public agencies and private firms.
