Market Dynamics
Introduction
PTFE membrane is a filter that is hydrophobic or hydrophilic in nature and is strongly resistant to solvents, acids, and bases. The membrane is also resistant to high temperatures and is perfect for sampling purposes.
PTFE membrane or Polytetrafluoroethylene membrane is an ideal option for different sampling purposes and they are used in a wide number of industries such as industrial filtration, textiles, medical and pharmaceutical options, water and wastewater treatment, architecture, and many others.
Market Drivers
The global market for PTFE membranes has grown recently and is estimated to grow in the near future too owing to many reasons, including high demand for PTFE membranes in water & wastewater treatment applications, industrial filtration, and medical & pharmaceutical. Below are a few more growth factors of the PTFE membrane market:
- Increasing demand for filtration from water and wastewater treatment industries: PTFE membranes are widely used in a variety of industrial filtration applications including liquid filtration, air and gas filtration, and more. They are also used in water and wastewater treatment plants to reverse osmosis, micro, and ultrafiltration. The growing population needs a much larger amount of treated water in the coming years. This, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the PTFE membrane market.
- Stringent regulations pertaining to the treatment of industrial wastes: Stringent regulatory mandates have increased the demand for water purification and wastewater treatment. Environmental Law Center states that over 150 billion liters of untreated water waste are released into waterways every year in Canada. To control the level of such pollution, governments have been imposing various emission control acts. These regulations increase the demand for PTFE membranes for water & wastewater treatment applications.
- Advancements in Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications: Not only in drug delivery systems, sterile venting, and filtration of pharmaceutical products, PTFE membranes find their applications in implantable parts of the human body. Bone grafts, vascular grafts, dental implants, etc. made of PTFE can be widely found. With the growth of the healthcare sector and advancements in medical technology, the demand for PTFE membranes in these applications is expected to increase.
