North America has established itself as the largest regional market for reverse osmosis membranes globally with estimated 42.1% share in 2024. The region enjoys a strong presence of major membrane manufacturers along with robust demand from the industrial and municipal sectors. Stringent environmental regulations regarding water reuse and recycling have propelled the installation of desalination plants and purification systems across cities, thereby, boosting demand for membrane. Moreover, countries like the U.S. are one of the leading exporters of desalinated water to Latin America and the Caribbean, augmenting regional requirements. With capacity expansions underway, membrane suppliers are geographically well-positioned to cater to North American customers.

The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing market for reverse osmosis membranes in recent years. Rapid industrialization and population growth have intensified the need for secure and sustainable water supplies. This has encouraged both international and domestic membrane manufacturers to boost their presence in the region. Countries like China, India and Saudi Arabia are at the forefront in terms of installing large-scale desalination plants based on reverse osmosis technology. Meanwhile, burgeoning water treatment activity across industrial units such as power, chemical and food & beverage has stimulated membrane imports. With supportive government initiatives and growing awareness, the APAC reverse osmosis membrane landscape is expected to flourish further in the coming years.
