Global Bacterial Filters Market Segmentation:

The global bacterial filters market report is segmented into by Device type, by Application, By Technology, By End User and By Region.

By Device type, the bacterial filters market is segmented into reusable and disposable. Out of which, the reusable segment is expected to dominate the bacterial filters market during the forecast period and this is due to the increase prevalence of COVID-19 pandemic which led to the increase use of reusable mask filters.

By Application, the bacterial filters market is segmented into water purification and air purification. The air purification segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is due to the increasing prevalence of air borne as well as water borne diseases such as chickenpox, influenza, COVID-19, pneumonia, typhoid, cholera, and others. For instance, in July 2021, Nanomatrix Materials, an India-based startup that manufactures disruptive graphene nanotechnology and integrate it into smarter application, had recently introduced a new product range of G1 AC Filters for Air Conditioners using Graphene-silver nanotechnology which purifies in room air including sterilizing 99% airborne microbes along with filtration of dust particles, also capable to reduce harmful VOC/gases. This product will convert conventional air conditioner into air purifier.

Based on Technology, the bacterial filters market is segmented into microfiltration, ultrafiltration nanofiltration and others. The ultrafiltration segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is due to the separating larger materials such as colloids, particulates, fats, bacteria, and proteins while allowing sugars, and other low molecular weight molecules to pass through the membrane. For instance, on March 21, 2023, DuPont, a producers of chemicals and science-based products, announced the commercial launch of the next generation of multi-capillary PES In-Out Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes—DuPont Multibore PRO. Customers can leverage Multibore PRO to reduce the number of modules needed in water purification systems — as part of multi-technology approaches to desalination, municipal drinking water, or industrial water applications.

Based on End user, the bacterial filters market is segmented into hospital, water purification industry and others. The water purification industry segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing prevalence of water borne diseases such as pneumonia, cholera, hepatitis, and so on. For instance, on January 2 2023, DuPont, an American multinational chemical company announced that its FilmTec membranes and Inge ultrafiltration membranes were installed in a multi-tech seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant for industrial use built by Larsen & Toubro -Tecton JV at Dahej for the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) in India.

Among all segmentation, the air purification segment has the highest potential due to the increasing product launch by the key market players. For instance, in December 2020, Zeco Aircon Ltd., a pioneer in manufacturing of central air conditioning & air purification systems, unveiled a technique for air purification that can eliminate dangerous viruses, such as COVID-19, which is the source of SARS-CoV2. Zircon air purifiers can be utilized in standalone units and centralized ventilation systems and have been approved as an efficient anti-viral technology by the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB).
