Industrial Filtration Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Industrial Filtration Market size is expected to reach $37.582 billion in 2030, and it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during 2024 - 2030. The growth is mainly attributed to increasing investments for decreasing pollution and to improve the process efficiency for the need of better indoor quality in industrial premises. Industrial filtration is a process used in manufacturing and industrial operations to remove unwanted substances from fluids such as water, gases, and liquids. It is an essential system for ensuring the safe disposal of waste and maintaining the operation of the equipment.

Stringent government norms pertaining to emission and treatment of industrial waste will further enhance the adoption of electrostatic precipitator which acts as a filtration system in industries, thereby driving the industrial filtration market during the forecast period. The adoption of bag filters and filter press technologies for enhancing centrifugal filtration of liquids will be a major driver of market growth. Increased preference for charcoal/activated carbon-based filters due to improved capabilities will also drive market growth.

Industrial filtration systems are increasingly integrating Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. IoT sensors enable real-time monitoring of filtration equipment, allowing for predictive maintenance and minimizing downtime. AI algorithms analyze vast amounts of data to optimize filtration processes, improving filtration accuracy and reducing energy consumption. This trend towards smart filtration systems not only improves performance but also lowers operational costs and enhances overall sustainability in industrial settings.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the industrial filtration market, causing both short-term disruptions and long-term. Initially, the widespread lockdown measures and economic slowdown led to a decrease in industrial activity across various sectors, resulting in reduced demand for filtration products and services. Many manufacturing facilities either halted or scaled back operations, leading to a decline in the need for filtration systems. 

However, as the pandemic progressed, industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and food processing experienced heightened demand for filtration solutions to ensure product safety and maintain clean environments. This surge in demand for filtration products, particularly in critical sectors, partly offset the overall market downturn. Moreover, the pandemic underscored the importance of robust filtration systems in preventing the spread of airborne contaminants and pathogens, leading to increased awareness and investments in advanced filtration technologies. Furthermore, the emphasis on workplace safety and hygiene standards prompted many industries to upgrade their filtration infrastructure, driving the adoption of high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and other advanced filtration solutions. 

Overall, while COVID-19 initially disrupted the industrial filtration market, it also catalyzed changes in industry practices and stimulated innovation in filtration technologies to adapt to the evolving needs of a post-pandemic world.

• APAC dominated the Industrial Filtration market in 2023 owing to rapid industrialization and high investments in adopting the filtration equipment.

• Increasing adoption of bag filters for large scale industries applications to remove suspended solids from liquids is set to boost the industrial filtration market. 

• Stringent regulations to minimize air and water pollutions due to emission of ozone gases, industrial waste is also propelling the industrial filtration industry.

• Adoption of activated carbon filters in water treatment industry for removing chlorine, and other effluents has been driving the industrial filtration market.

 

Liquid Filtration held the major market share of 53.6% in 2023. Stringent government regulations in order to filter the water that is discharged from industries and high investments for adoption of this filters has been driving the industrial filtration market. Growing demand for filter press and bag filter solutions as liquid centrifugal filtration systems for zero emission and zero discharge from manufacturing and other industries. Additionally, the adoption of advanced equipment in water and waste water treatment industry is likely to push the liquid filtrations systems thereby driving the market.

Oil & Gas is the key end user in Industrial Filtration market and estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% in forecast period 2024 - 2030. Adoption of filtration systems in oil and gas industry for upstream, middle stream, and downstream applications is poised to drive the market as it assists in reducing operating costs and improving process efficiency. As separation of oil, gas, water and the removal of solids contaminants is essential, there is high requirement of activated carbon-based centrifugal filtration systems. Development of advanced equipment and replacement with new equipment set to create opportunities for the industrial filtration industry.

APAC dominated the Industrial Filtration market in 2023 with a market share of 38.7%, followed by North America and Europe. High adoption of industrial filters in APAC countries such as China, Japan, India and others countries is set to drive the industrial filtration industry as they have a greater number of industries, especially in China as it is the manufacturing hub for various industries. Additionally various government initiatives have been pushing the industrial centrifugal filtration systems industry. For instance, the Indian Government has taken some initiatives such as Waste to Energy Programme in 2022, and the ongoing Swachh Bharat Mission to curb the pollution from industries which set to drive the industrial filtration systems.

Implementation of strict regulations due to rising environmental concerns compel industries to install air and liquid filtration equipment. Stringent government regulations regarding limitation of the emissions levels that are supporting the use of industrial filtration systems have been driving the market across global level. For instance, in India, the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change introduced the "Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Second Amendment Rules, 2023," on the 18th of September 2023, which aimed to secure and comply with sustainable management. In addition, the measures by various countries governments for addressing venting and flaring that comes from the upstream oil and gas operations which further drives the air filtration market growth, especially activated carbon-based filters.

Increasing industrialization activities and increasing funding for industrial filtration startups and development of new products with advanced technologies.
