• Growing acceptance of wastewater management

Increasing incidence of diabetes

"Membranes are extensively used in pharmaceutical and healthcare sector in hemodialysis equipment. The global medical membranes market is expected to be worth USD 7 billion by 2021, thereby driving the growth of the membranes market," says Mahitha Mallishetty, a lead analyst at Technavio for plastics, polymers, and elastomers research.

The rising prevalence of obesity and growing populations of individuals aged above 45 is leading to a high number of people with diabetes. These patients create a high demand for membranes to cater to their periodic hemodialytic treatment needs.

Advantages of membrane technology in pharmaceutical and medical industries

Membranes are widely used for sterilization of pharmaceutical and medical devices and products. The key advantages of adopting membrane technology in the pharmaceutical and medical industries include their selective permeability and the ability to operate at room temperature and generate products with high sterility. Membranes can also provide a high degree automation for cleansing wastewater using minimal resources, making it extremely environment-friendly. These factors increase the demand for membranes in different industries and applications.

Growing acceptance of wastewater management

"The necessity for safe, usable water has created the demand for water recycling, which has led to an increase in demand for membranes in the desalination and wastewater management industries. Also, rising awareness regarding health and safety and stringent environmental regulations are further boosting the adoption of membranes," says Mahitha.

The increase in economic development and rapid urbanization in emerging countries has increased the need for efficient water management systems. Additionally, the growing demand for wastewater recycling and the need for compliance with environmental regulations in various industrial sectors are driving the demand for membranes.
