Filter Media Sales to Exceed $12 Billion Next Year
Sales of non-woven, woven and membrane filter media will exceed $12 billion in
2015. This is the conclusion reached by the McIlvaine Company by aggregating
forecasts in multiple reports. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Filter Media Revenues
Filter Type 2015 Sales ($ Billions)
Air Filtration (air) 2
Fabric Filters (dust ) 2
Cartridge Filters (liquid) 2
Cross-flow Membranes 2
Mobile 2
Miscellaneous 2
Total 12
The market can be divided into six $2 billion segments. Air filtration includes
residential, commercial and industrial HVAC filters and inlet filters to gas
turbines. Fabric filters involves separation of dust from stack gases. It is
distinguished from air filtration by the higher dust loads and the inclusion of
media cleaning. Cartridge filters are purifying liquids and are distinguished
from cross-flow membranes by the fact that they are dead-end. All the liquid
flows through the cartridge. Cross-flow membranes reject a portion of the liquid
and, thereby, provide a mechanism for keeping the surface clean.
Other applications of filter media have been aggregated to provide $2 billion
segments. They include media used in liquid macrofiltration. This media is used
in filter presses and bag filters. This segment also includes respirator media.
There are many innovations which are impacting the market potential as well as
the competitive dynamics. Nanotechnology is playing a big role and promises to
become increasingly important. Membrane developments will contribute to a high
growth rate for desalination.
