The industrial filter market is expected to witness positive growth over the forecast period. Strict regulations regarding emission control and increased demand from manufacturing and processing industries are some of the key factors driving the demand for industrial filters. Growing emphasis on reducing industrial pollution is prompting end users to increasingly install advanced air filtration systems for capturing particulate matter emissions. Moreover, rapid industrialization and urbanization in emerging economies have intensified the need for effective industrial filter solutions across various application sectors. Wider prominence of filter media such as activated carbon, fiberglass, and metallic is also augmenting the market expansion.

Environmental Regulations

The industrial operations across various sectors have been releasing harmful pollutants into the environment on a large scale. This has resulted in severe degradation of ambient air quality as well as contamination of water bodies. In order to tackle the adverse effects of environmental pollution, governments across countries have formulated and implemented stringent environmental regulations over the past few years. These regulations define strict product quality standards and emission limits for air pollutants and hazardous liquid effluents released from manufacturing facilities.  Industries are now required to install effective air pollution control equipment as well as waste treatment systems to treat liquid effluents before their final discharge. Various filtration technologies play a vital role in meeting the prescribed quality compliances set out in these regulations. For instance, baghouse filters serve as highly efficient particulate control devices installed at the flue gas exit of utility boilers and thermal power plants. Scrubbers filled with mesh pads have become indispensable for removing gaseous pollutants such as sulfur dioxide from flue gases. Similarly, water treatment plants deploy various filter mediums like activated carbon and sand filters for removing impurities from industrial wastewater.

Industrial operations involve complex manufacturing processes across various sectors aiming to maximize productivity and minimize the usage of raw materials. This calls for optimal process conditions and quality of input resources. However, contaminants present in water, gases or liquid streams feeding the manufacturing lines often hamper the smooth functioning as well as product quality. Even miniscule quantities of undissolved solids, color bodies, or microbial content can significantly impact process efficiencies. Hence, industries resort to employing robust filtration methods for pre-treatment of input streams. Modern processing techniques also generate voluminous quantities of wastewater containing oils, grease, heavy metals, and residues that need extensive treatment before being used in recycling loops or discharged. Dedicated oil-water separation systems using coalescing filters, sand filters and absorbent cartridges among others ensure pure water reclaim.
