Market Challenges And Opportunities

Drivers

Increasing demand for treated water in India & Middle East has been augmenting the target market growth. Ceramic membranes are synthetic membranes made from inorganic constituents such as alumina, titania, silica, zirconia, and others. Ceramic membranes generally have an irregular structure with several porosity levels. Numerous pore sizes are offered for specific filtration requirements including microfiltration, ultra-filtration, and nano-filtration.

Growing requirement of high purity components for industrial applications is expected to foster the market growth of ceramic membrane. Augmented industrialization methods have given rise to a number of technologies such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration and nano-filtration, which uses ceramic membranes for separation. The group of porous membranes consisting of ceramic membranes are made with a well-defined pore size. Due to the high cost of ceramic membranes, manufacturers are focusing on developing newer membrane technologies and incorporating them into different applications. For instance, QUA, a key player in advanced membrane manufacturing products for the application of water and wastewater treatment, launched the CeraQ line of ceramic membrane modules, available in different sizes with surface area range. Moreover, in February 2017, Nanostone, a membrane solutions company, launched ‘CM-151’, its next generation membrane product.

Market Restraints

Cost involved in terms of initial capital investment and production of ceramic membranes is quite high compared to polymeric membranes when they are used for water treatment plants. Additionally, in environmental applications, the use of ceramic membranes has been limited due to cost considerations even though they offer various benefits in areas such as rugged structural stability, chemical, and thermal stability. These factors, together, are anticipated to hamper the India & Middle East ceramic membrane market growth.
