Drinking Water Supplies Will Account For 48 Percent of the Cross-Flow
Membrane Equipment and Module Purchases Next Year
Sales of cross-flow membrane systems and replacement modules will exceed $9.7
billion next year. Forty-eight percent of this total will be for municipal
drinking water. This includes the reverse osmosis systems used for seawater
desalination and the ultrafiltration and microfiltration systems used for
drinking water extracted from fresh water sources. This is the conclusion
reached in the latest additions to RO, UF, MF World Market published by the
McIlvaine Company. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Cross-Flow Membrane Revenues ($ Millions)
Ranking Industry 2013
1 Desalination 2,852
2 Water 1,845
3 Pharmaceutical 875
4 Residential/Commercial 721
5 Power 559
6 Wastewater 354
7 Metals 343
The world’s population is increasing most rapidly in the areas of the world with
the least amount of fresh water. This has greatly increased the demand to
desalinate seawater to provide drinking water as well as water needed by
industry.
Traditionally, municipal drinking water plants utilized sand filters to remove
particulate from extracted water. However, macrofiltration and ultrafiltration
provide greater protection from disease and are capturing more market share each
year.
The pharmaceutical industry will be the third largest purchaser. Residential and
commercial use is growing robustly due to poor municipal water quality in many
countries. The power industry uses cross-flow membranes to purify boiler
feedwater. There is an increasing use of treated municipal wastewater for golf
courses, lawns and other “grey water” applications.

Valve Industry Expecting Greater Growth Than Predicted by McIlvaine
The McIlvaine Company is projecting an annual growth rate of 4.2 percent for the
industrial valve industry over the next three years. This is about one percent
lower than forecasts generated by the valve companies and their analysts. This
is the conclusion just posted in the McIlvaine Industrial Valves: World Markets.
The McIlvaine Company is forecasting growth for the industrial valve industry of
4.2 percent this year and similar growth in succeeding years.
Year Revenues $ Billions Growth %
2012 51.3 4.2
2013 53.4 4.1
2014 55.7 4.3
This contrasts to the forecasts published by the publicly held valve companies
and the analysts who follow these companies. Here are forecasts for five
companies among the largest twenty:
Valve Rankings and Corporate Sales ($ Millions)
Ranking Company 2011 Valve Sales Corporate Sales
2012 2012 % Increase 2013 2013 % Increase 2014 2014 % Increase
1 Tyco International 2,160 18,015 3.80% 18,942 5.15% 19,852 4.80%
3 Kitz 931 1,383 2.29% 1,431 3.47% 1,530 6.92%
9 Rotork 610 800 13.80% 861 7.63% 924 7.32%
10 KSB 596 2,558 8.67% 2,670 4.38% 2,795 4.68%
17 Weir Group 373 4,102 14.42% 4,320 5.31% 4,455 3.13%
Tyco is the largest valve company (merging with Pentair). Valve sales in 2011
were $2.16 billion. Corporate sales are predicted to rise 3.8 percent in 2012.
Kitz valve sales according to McIlvaine analysis were $931 million in 2011
making them the third largest industrial valve supplier. Corporate sales in 2012
are projected by the company and its analysts to reach $1.38 billion for an
increase of 2.2 percent. 2014 revenues of $1.5 billion are projected. This would
be an increase of close to 7 percent over the projected 2013 forecast.
The differences between the McIlvaine forecast and the aggregation of the
forecasts of the individual companies are less than they seem. McIlvaine
forecasts are in constant 2010 dollars. Many of the corporate forecasts are in
actual dollars including inflation. The growth of the publicly held companies
often includes acquisitions. So the acquiring companies on the whole will grow
faster than the industry.
The company forecasts are for all products and not just valves, so this is
another variable.
