Reverse Osmosis Membrane Market: By Membrane Type, By Filter Module, Tubular-Shaped Membranes, Spiral-Wound Membranes, Hollow-Fiber Membranes), By Application, By End-Use Industry, and Geography

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Membrane Type (Thin Film Composite and Cellulose Based), By Filter Module (Plate and Frame (PF), Tubular-Shaped Membranes, Spiral-Wound Membranes, Hollow-Fiber Membranes), By Application (Desalination, Utility water treatment, Wastewater treatment and Reuse, Process water), By End-Use Industry (Water & Wastewater Treatment Plant, Industrial Processing), and Region

Reverse Osmosis Membrane Market size was valued at US$ 3,325.7 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 8,745.2 million by 2029, growing at an 8.2% CAGR from 2024 to 2030. Reverse Osmosis Membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that allows the passage of water molecules but not most dissolved salts, organics, bacteria, and pyrogens. The global demand for pure water is increasing with population, the osmosis membrane market benefits from obtaining clean water, and government regulations for water usage and treatment of industrial wastewater are major factors for market growth.

The demand for water and wastewater treatment, owing to the high demand for clean and processed drinking water as well as growing government regulations requiring clean water to obtain pure water from the sea, the desalination process is becoming significant, which drives the overall market with significant growth. The governments of many countries are adopting various techniques to provide clean water in their nation. The World Health Organization (WHO) has inaugurated many regulations for drinking safe water, resulting in a high demand for reserve osmosis membranes in water treatment. The emerging economic countries and high installation costs create minimum adoption across consumers and hinder the reverse osmosis membrane market.  

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane Market Key Developments:

  • In March 2022, Toray launched new ultralow-pressure RO membrane elements to significantly improve the rejection of silica, boron, and other neutral molecules from untreated water by controlling RO membrane micropore sizes and membrane structures.
  • In March 2021, DuPont Launched Biofouling Preventing Technology for Reverse Osmosis Installations. The new DuPont™ and B-Free™ pre-treatment technology reduces operational costs and boosts plant uptime and reliability.
  • In March 2020, Veolia launched SIRION™ Advanced, the new unrivaled reverse osmosis system for high-purity water.
  • In January 2021, SUEZ completely acquired Lanxess Reverse Osmosis membrane portfolio to expand both its offer and its production capacity.
  • In March 2022, Toray Industries, Inc. announced to launch the TBW-HR series of ultralow-pressure reverse osmosis (RO) membrane elements in April 2022, which improve the rejection of silica, boron, and other neutral molecules from untreated water by controlling RO membrane micropore sizes and membrane structures.
