Drinking Water Supplies Will Account For 48 Percent of the Cross-Flow Membrane Equipment and Module Purchases Next Year
Sales of cross-flow membrane systems and replacement modules will exceed $9.7 billion next year. Forty-eight percent of this total will be for municipal drinking water. This includes the reverse osmosis systems used for seawater desalination and the ultrafiltration and microfiltration systems used for drinking water extracted from fresh water sources. This is the conclusion reached in the latest additions to RO, UF, MF World Market published by the McIlvaine Company. (

The world’s population is increasing most rapidly in the areas of the world with the least amount of fresh water. This has greatly increased the demand to desalinate seawater to provide drinking water as well as water needed by industry.
Traditionally, municipal drinking water plants utilized sand filters to remove particulate from extracted water. However, macrofiltration and ultrafiltration provide greater protection from disease and are capturing more market share each year.
The pharmaceutical industry will be the third largest purchaser. Residential and commercial use is growing robustly due to poor municipal water quality in many countries. The power industry uses cross-flow membranes to purify boiler feedwater. There is an increasing use of treated municipal wastewater for golf courses, lawns and other "grey water" applications.

The McIlvaine Company is projecting an annual growth rate of 4.2 percent for the industrial valve industry over the next three years. This is about one percent lower than forecasts generated by the valve companies and their analysts. This is the conclusion just posted in the McIlvaine Industrial Valves: World Markets.
The McIlvaine Company is forecasting growth for the industrial valve industry of 4.2 percent this year and similar growth in succeeding years.

Tyco is the largest valve company (merging with Pentair). Valve sales in 2011 were $2.16 billion. Corporate sales are predicted to rise 3.8 percent in 2012. Kitz valve sales according to McIlvaine analysis were $931 million in 2011 making them the third largest industrial valve supplier. Corporate sales in 2012 are projected by the company and its analysts to reach $1.38 billion for an increase of 2.2 percent. 2014 revenues of $1.5 billion are projected. This would be an increase of close to 7 percent over the projected 2013 forecast.
The differences between the McIlvaine forecast and the aggregation of the forecasts of the individual companies are less than they seem. McIlvaine forecasts are in constant 2010 dollars. Many of the corporate forecasts are in actual dollars including inflation. The growth of the publicly held companies often includes acquisitions. So the acquiring companies on the whole will grow faster than the industry.
The company forecasts are for all products and not just valves, so this is another variable.
