Dynamic Filter and Media Market Could Reach $80 billion in 2022

The segments of the filtration industry which use non-woven and membrane filter media are poised to grow to $80 billion in 2022. This represents an increase of 33% over the 2019 revenues.  Most of the growth is attributable to coronavirus related mitigation efforts. The assumption is that the filtration industry will be able to deliver the needed masks and filters. Air pollution and drought caused by climate change create the balance of the growth. The air pollution prevention benefits of masks, HVAC filters, and dust collectors are greater due to the steady increase in wildfires.  Increasing use of desalination and water reuse will be another consequence of climate change. Battery separator markets will also increase as electric vehicles are viewed as a climate change solution.

If the filtration industry cannot meet the demand or if it fails to convince purchasers of the real benefits of better filtration, revenues could plateau at 2019 levels or even fall depending on the havoc wrought by COVID.

These are filter revenues FOB manufacturer.

Media revenues range from 20 % for masks to 60% for fabric filters.

There is now strong evidence the Coronavirus is spread by small aerosols. Cloth masks and inefficient filters act as aerosol generators. The medical community is finally realizing that the solution lies in high efficiency masks and filters. In the past the assumption was that these products could not be made available to the general public. The filtration industry is capable of meeting the very large demand with a mix of meltblown, nanofiber, membrane and other media.

The same media which can be used in masks and HVAC filters has applicability in gas turbine intake filters, dust collectors, and liquid cartridges. The non-woven media market will be over $25 billion of which only 40% will be mask media. Concerns that media manufacturers have about building capacity which will go unused after a vaccine is perfected are unwarranted. Not only are there non mask uses but air pollution, indoor pollution, wildfires, and new viruses will boost mask demand.

The “other segment” includes vacuum cleaner bags and battery separators. It does not include medical and cleanroom garments.  However, these can use the same media and are analyzed in McIlvaine Cleanroom and other publications.

This is a very dynamic market. The U.S. election in November will determine the extent of future trade barriers and the amount of international trade. Technical developments in media and products will continue to shape the market.

It is therefore essential that filter and media companies prepare comprehensive strategies which are flexible enough to adjust as conditions change. The Mcilvaine Company has a Filter and Media Strategic Management Program which includes continually updated and detailed forecasts plus tools to pursue the market opportunities.

Disinfection Webinar October 1

A webinar on disinfection technologies to mitigate COVID is scheduled for 10:00AM CDT October 1, 2020.  To register Click here

Inactivation of aerosols is beneficial for

·     building and furniture surfaces

·     air

·     masks

·     filters

·     ductwork

·     clothing

·     shoes

·     transportation

·     Industrial space

·     hands

There are ample products in the form of hand sanitizers which are available and do not need to be covered in this webinar. Disinfectant wipes that are effective in cleaning building and furniture surfaces. Although important this technology will not be covered in the webinar.

What will be covered are other technologies such as UV light and chemical aerosols. The Alerts have covered these technologies along with anti-bacterial coatings for surfaces, masks and even filters. Excerpts and links to these articles are found at Search All Alerts by Keyword

The webinar will include discussions of the options as well as several presentations

Young L. Kim of Purdue will be discussing a disinfection system which has no harmful chemicals. Photodynamic therapy uses a photosensitizer, a chemical that reacts with oxygen in the presence of light, to produce oxygen free radicals. These radicals are highly reactive, meaning they trigger other chemical reactions, including ones that kill harmful pathogens.

Instead of using expensive medical photosensitizers, Purdue has identified several FDA-approved food coloring dyes that can be used to generate free radicals in visible light. The system uses ultrasound to generate small aerosols containing the food coloring so that the dyes can float and linger in the air. The aerosols are barely visible, and their small size and short lifespan in light means they don’t stain surfaces.

PathO3Gen Solutions executives will be discussing foot sanitizers relative to the reduction of HAI including coronavirus at hospitals, pharmaceutical, food manufacturers as well as public places. In past webinars they have established the effectiveness of these sanitizers. Their findings are also significant in showing the risks of virus transmitted from shoes which become airborne either directly or after contaminating floors.


AES Faciliflex Express standardized modular cleanrooms for shortest order to operation time frame

Faciliflex Express is designed for cell & gene therapy companies which need to rapidly bring their therapies to the patients. The traditional process of specifying a cleanroom has thousands of decision points. These decisions are both choices about the macro environment, down to the minutia. The process is time consuming and introduces risk at each interface. The decision process results in cost variation and creates unknown outcomes. Faciliflex Express eliminates the guesswork and provides a proven off the shelf solution. 

Mitch Gonzales and Josh Russell of AES along with Barry Garfinkle and Bob Mcilvaine leveraged 100 years of cleanroom experience to discuss the merits of 3 standardized Faciliflex designs.  One is 5K for pilot facilities. 15 K is ideal for cell and gene therapy operations. 30K is designed for large operations.

These facilities can be up and running within 6 to 10 months of order placement. They provide the desired compliance, flexibility, timing and product quality.
