Based on type, thin-film composite membranes is estimated to be the largest market in the overall RO membrane market in 2021.

Thin-film composite membranes are widely for water & wastewater treatment. Thin-film composite membranes are semi-permeable membranes that are manufactured primarily for use in water purification or desalination systems. These membranes have high rejection for undesirable materials such as metal ions and salts, good mechanical strength, and high filtration rate. In addition, these membranes possess good chemical and mechanical stability and portray excellent membrane formability characteristics.

Based on end-use industry, water & wastewater treatment is expected to be the largest RO membrane segment in 2021.

Water & wastewater treatment segment is estimated to be the largest end-use industry for the RO membrane market. Water scarcity and growing regulations mandating wastewater treatment and reuse are driving the market for the water & wastewater treatment segment. Increasing demand for potable water from countries such as China, India, Brazil, and others have also led to the large market size. In addition, increasing desalination activities in countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, India, China, the US, and others are expected to further drive the market for water & wastewater treatment.

Based on region, APAC is projected to grow the fastest in the RO membrane market during the forecast period.

APAC is projected to be the fastest-growing region amongst others in the RO membrane market during the forecast period, in terms of value. Increasing government initiatives in providing water access to all, rise in population, and increased urbanization are driving the market in APAC. China, Japan, and India are the major markets in this region. In addition, growing industrial activities, residential & commercial sector growth in countries such as Singapore, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and others, are also driving the market growth of #water & #wastewatertreatment in the RO membrane industry.
