Liquid Cartridge Sales to the World Pharmaceutical Industry Will Exceed $2
Billion this Year
For the first time ever, the world’s pharmaceutical industry will spend over $2
billion for liquid cartridges. The 2013 forecasts are included in Cartridge
Filters: World Market published by the McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

For most applications, the East Asia market is much larger than any other
region. However, in the pharmaceutical sector NAFTA remains the largest.
The pharmaceutical cartridge market is dominated by the larger players who have
more than 50 percent market share.

The bulk of the sales is for the higher performance and more expensive membrane
filters. They comprise 50 percent of the total. Non-woven cartridges account for
another 30 percent. The remaining 20 percent is shared by string wound, carbon
and metal.

Asian Ultrapure Water Sales to Exceed $3 Billion in 2015
In the rapidly growing Asian market, sales of ultrapure water systems and
consumables will exceed $3 billion for the first time ever in 2015. This is the
conclusion reached in the McIlvaine on line report Ultrapure Water World
Markets. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

Asia is building more new coal-fired power plants than the rest of the world
combined. The majority of these power plants are of the ultrasupercritical
design. These power plants need the highest purity boiler feedwater. Contrary to
public perception, the Chinese fleet is operating more efficiently than the U.S.
counterpart. The reason being is that most of the Chinese plants have been
built since 2000. By contrast, the average coal-fired power plant in the U.S. is
more than forty years old. Asia has been quick to embrace newer
technologies such as electrodeionization (EDI) as a substitute for ion exchange.
Asia is proceeding with come nuclear power plants. These power plants require
the highest quality water. Combined cycle gas turbine plants also require
high quality water but their needs per megawatt are less than half of that of a
coal-fired power plant.
Over 50 percent of the market is attributable to the electronics and flat panel
segment. Asia has more electronics facilities using ultrapure water than the
other continents combined. One of the bigger growth segments in China has been
photovoltaic cells for the solar industry. These plants do require ultrapure
water although not as pure as required for semiconductor manufacture.
The one application where Asia does not dominate is pharmaceuticals. Water for
injection (WFI) needs to be ultrapure because it is mixed with substances which
are then injected into humans. The bulk of the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals
is still in the U.S. and Europe.
Special instrumentation which can measure dissolved oxygen and other
constituents in parts per billion are required in ultrapure water systems.
There are a series of filtration steps ending in treatment by reverse osmosis.
Even after the water is ultrapure there is a concern about re-contamination in
pumps and piping. Consequently, in a semiconductor plant, the water
leaving the RO system passes through piping and then into an end point membrane
cartridge filter before being used to wash the wafer.
