What is membrane bioreactor?

MBR stands for Membrane Bioreactor. It is a treatment process, which integrates a semi-permeable membrane with a biological process. It is a combination of microfiltration or ultra filtration membrane process with a suspended growth bioreactor.

Membrane bioreactors are widely used for municipal wastewater treatment and industrial wastewater treatment. This technology needs skilled labor and expert design, and it is a cost-efficient treatment.

Market Dynamics

Factors contributing to the demand for membrane bioreactors in the market are mainly the increasing usage of these bioreactors in the wastewater treatment due to increase in water stress and production of high-quality effluents.

Segment Analysis

By Membrane Type

The market is segmented as hollow fiber, flat sheet, and multi-tubular. The multi-tubular segment was the largest as well as the fastest-growing segment in 2022, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is driven by the property of multi-tubular membranes, wherein their modules contain bundle of tubes, which have a standard-sized cylindrical casing of 200 mm in diameter. Further, their robustness, reduced footprint, operational flexibility, and control are propelling the growth during the forecast period.

By Application Type

The market is segmented as municipal wastewater treatment and industrial wastewater treatment. The municipal wastewater treatment segment dominates the market, whereas the industrial wastewater treatment is expected to remain the faster-growing segment during the forecast period. The Asia-Pacific’s market for municipal wastewater treatment is growing with increasing demand in major countries such as India, China, Japan, and South Korea. The growth propellers of the market are increase in level of water stress, growing demand for clean water by the growing population in these countries, and the stringent environmental regulations.

Regional Analysis

Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the largest membrane bioreactor market during the forecast period, with China, Japan, India, Australia, and South Korea being the major countries with lucrative growth opportunities. The growth of the market is driven by the growing population, increasing demand for clean water, growing level of water stress, and change in climate, which is generating huge demand for membrane bioreactors and the presence of a large number of membrane bioreactor manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific region. North America and Europe are also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities during the foreseen duration.
