PVDF Membrane Market Overview
PVDF Membrane Market size is forecast to reach US$997.3 million by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during 2021-2026. Polyvinylidene fluoride, also known as polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), is a special plastic material that belongs to the fluoropolymer family. PVDF membrane is used in chemical processing and other industrial facilities for various applications, such as water- and waste-treatment and membrane contact operations. PVDF membrane is used for nanofiltration and microfiltration applications. They are also used for acid gas absorption, stripping, and volatile organic compounds removal among others. The membranes also offer good resistance to acidic and organic solvents as compared to nitrocellulose or nylon membranes. Increased demand for PVDF membrane from biopharmaceutical industries is one of the major factors driving the market during the forecast period 2021-2026. According to the data published by IBEF, the Indian biotechnology industry was valued at USD 64 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 150 billion by 2025. However, the high production cost of PVDF membrane is likely to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic is
impacting different industries; one of the few industries that were primarily
hit to some extent was the PVDF membrane industry. The demand for the PVDF
Membrane is low during the covid-19 crises. The shutdown of manufacturing facilities
of different industries such as Chemical, food & beverage, oil & gas,
and others impacted the market in 2019-2020. The delay in construction
activities in both developed and developing nations impacted the market growth
for PVDF Membrane during covid-19. However, the PVDF membrane industry faced
problems related to the supply chain, lack of workforce, and lack of raw
materials supply.

PVDF Membrane Market Drivers
Growing water treatment activities
PVDF Membranes are
widely used for filtration activities. They are used for various filtration
processes such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and Nanofiltration.
Stringent rules and regulations are made on filtration and treatment of
drinking water globally. The growing awareness of water pollution along with
implementing various emission control acts in both developed and developing
nations are supporting the demand for PVDF membranes. The developed countries
including U.S., Canada, UK, and Australia are strictly following emission
standards to reduce pollution levels in the atmosphere. According to the
Government of Canada, approximately 150 billion liters of untreated wastewater
are released into waterways every year, which is leading to environmental and
water pollution in the country. According to the United Nations Water
organization, Globally, 80% of wastewater flows back into the ecosystem without
being treated or reused. They also
mention that about 1.8 billion people are using the same water as a source of
drinking water globally. So the government bodies across the globe are taking
strict rules and regulations on water treatment processes, which is further
supporting the growth of PVDF membranes.
PVDF Membrane Market Challenges
Concerns related to life span and efficiency of PVDF membrane
PVDF membranes
have an average life of 2-5 years. The efficiency and lifespan of PVDF
membranes depend on the type of applications in which they are used. These
membranes undergo fouling and need to be cleaned regularly for maintaining
proper efficiency. Fouling in PVDF membranes mainly occurs due to the
deposition of salts or dissolved solids on the external surface. These
membranes are widely used in desalination and brackish water treatment
processes which are prone to fouling or plugging. During the treatment of water or any
filtration process, certain components such as iron, sulfate, manganese, and calcium,
may form a precipitate on the membrane surface. These are some of the
challenges hampering the market growth for PVDG membranes during the forecast
period.
