The Global Reverse Osmosis Membrane market was valued
at US$1.2 billion in 2014. The growth of the market is mainly driven by the
increasing global demand for cheap and efficient water treatment solutions. In
2014, most of the market share was held by the EMEA region. The market is
forecast to grow at a CAGR of 7.3 percent during the period 2014–2019.
Reverse Osmosis is a technology that uses a
semi-permeable membrane to remove dissolved salts or organic molecules. The
water is pushed under pressure through the membrane, which allows the passage
of water molecules but prevents the dissolved salts and bacteria to pass
through. A high-pressure pump is used to apply the required pressure for
carrying out the process, and depends on the salt concentration of the feed
water. The semi-permeable membrane used for the process is primarily made up of
two materials: cellulose acetate and an aromatic polyamide. In addition, the RO
membranes can be categorized into - asymmetric membranes and thin film
composite membranes. While asymmetric membranes contain one polymer, the thin
film composite membranes contain two or more layers of polymers.
The report is segmented by geographical regions into
the APAC region, the EMEA region, and the Americas. The end-users mentioned in
this report include the Municipal sector, Industrial sector, and others.
According to the report, the most important factor
driving the market growth is the need for safe drinking water. This in turn has
spurred the need for recycling waste or salt water, which requires the use of
water treatment processes such as water desalination
Further, the report states that one of the major
challenges faced by the market is membrane fouling. The membranes used in the
RO process are exposed to various chemicals and other impurities. This causes
membrane fouling which reduces the effectiveness of membranes.
