Cross-flow Membrane Revenues to Exceed $10 Billion by 2014
Suppliers of cross-flow membrane equipment and consumables will enjoy a market
of $9.8 billion in 2013 rising in 2014 by 6 percent and, therefore, exceeding
$10 billion. This is the latest forecast in RO, UF, MF World Market published by
the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Cross-flow Membrane Revenues ($ Millions)
World Region 2013
Africa 347
CIS 241
East Asia 2,986
Eastern Europe 138
Middle East 1,032
NAFTA 2,281
South & Central America 418
West Asia 798
Western Europe 1,628
Total 9,869
East Asia will be the leading region. Purchases in 2014 will exceed $3 billion.
The lack of water and contamination of available water are two factors in the
investment in reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration and microfiltration equipment.
NAFTA will be the second leading region on an overall basis. However, it will
remain the largest region for the consumable membranes.
The Middle East is a major purchaser due to the desalination of seawater. The
costs of desalination using reverse osmosis are remaining relatively constant
while the costs for alternative sources of water are rising.
There are a number of factors which will expand the cross-flow membrane market
at growth levels in excess of GDP.
• The increasing water demands
• Decreasing water quality
• New contaminants of concern such as endocrine disrupters
• New markets such as ballast water treatment
• Expanding markets such as zero liquid discharge for hydraulic fracturing in
oil and gas
• Expanding process needs e.g. separating of product at biotechnology facilities
• Higher efficiency level process needs e.g. ultrasupercritical coal-fired
boiler feeedwater

Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals Market to Exceed $25 Billion in 2014
Suppliers of water and wastewater treatment chemicals will generate revenues of
over $26 billion in 2014 up 4.5 percent from 2013. This is the latest finding in
the McIlvaine report, Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals: World Market.
(www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Treatment Chemicals ($ Millions)
World Region 2014
Africa 966
CIS 1,418
East Asia 8,961
Eastern Europe 596
Middle East 1,301
NAFTA 5,530
South & Central America 1,497
West Asia 1,682
Western Europe 4,064
Total 26,015
East Asia expenditures for chemicals will be just under $9 billion. Power plants
in the region will spend over $2 billion. Municipal drinking water and municipal
wastewater treatment plants will spend over $3 billion. Refinery purchases will
exceed $600 million. East Asian microelectronics plants will spend more for
treatment chemicals than all the other regions combined.
Chinese purchases in the power sector will be in excess of $1 billion. The
country will also lead in the municipal water and wastewater segment. In
microelectronics, there is a more even distribution among other East Asian
countries such as Japan, Taiwan and Korea.
In NAFTA and Western Europe, most of the purchases of chemicals will come from
plants that have been in operation for several years or more. The growth in
these regions is less than Asia. The one exception is the unconventional oil and
gas activity in the U.S. Hydraulic fracturing and other technologies applied to
unconventional oil and gas are generating significant new revenues for treatment
companies.
In the Middle East, treatment chemicals used in desalination are among the
leading applications. Chemicals are required for both thermal and reverse
osmosis approaches.
In South America, mining is one of the largest applications for treatment
chemicals.
