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)

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)

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.
