Drought, harmful pollutants, and climate change are contributing to water stress around the world. Water utility and industrial water and wastewater treatment decision makers keep this and the circular economy in mind as they look for advanced, sustainable solutions that have minimal environmental impact and keep resources in a closed loop.

Polymeric membranes with nanoparticles, innovative hollow fiber nanofiltration membranes, and ceramic membranes combined with new materials are disrupting the vast installed base of conventional polymeric membranes used for water and wastewater treatment. They serve the needs of price-sensitive customers and have been able to penetrate new market segments.

Desalination, drinking and process water pollutant removal, and wastewater reuse projects are employing advanced membrane technologies as their prices decline and innovations focus on system efficiency. Desalination projects are on the rise in the Asia-Pacific region (especially China), while in the Middle East aging desalination plants are being refurbished or replaced. The large installed base has allowed for a large replacement and refurbishment market. Water reuse projects will be the key driver for the membrane market globally.

Innovations are happening in the areas of durability, permeability, and selectivity. A focus is on reducing operational costs and the need for pretreatment. Leading companies are offering a wide range of value-added digital solutions, remote maintenance support, and advisory consulting.

The Frost Radar™ reveals the market positioning of companies in an industry using their Growth and Innovation scores as highlighted in the Frost Radar™ methodology. The document presents competitive profiles on each of the companies in the Frost Radar™ based on their strengths, opportunities, and a small discussion on their positioning. Frost & Sullivan analyzes hundreds of companies in an industry and benchmarks them across 10 criteria on the Frost Radar™, where the leading companies in the industry are then positioned.
