Global Membrane Market for Water and Wastewater Treatment Forecasts and Analysis
to 2015



Summary



Global Markets Direct's new report, "Global Membrane Market for Industrial Water
and Wastewater Treatment Forecasts and Analysis to 2015", provides key data,
information and analysis on the global membrane market. The report provides key
market data and forecasts, market trends and competitive landscape analysis for
the global membrane market. The research discusses market dynamics in detail by
providing analytical content on the key trends affecting the market. It also
reviews the revenue trends and characterizes various local markets and assesses
the market potential for water and wastewater treatment equipment consumption.



Global Markets Direct estimates that the membrane treatment market for
industrial water and wastewater is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth
Rate (CAGR) of 13% from $2.3 billion in 2008 through 2015 to reach $5.5 billion.
Globally, microfiltration membrane treatment is likely to witness 15% CAGR
growth during 2008 to 2015. The growth can largely be attributed to increasing
use of microfiltration membranes in industrial wastewater treatment. Increasing
volume production and technological improvements have reduced capital cost of
membrane systems and operating cost to the point that membrane treatment is now
seen as a viable alternative in many water and wastewater applications.
Declining costs are stimulating the membrane treatment growth in the industrial
sector.



Technological improvements resulting in cost reduction is identified as one of
the key drivers for the growth of the membrane-based treatment market. Reduced
prices have actuated interest of end user industries in the technology. The
price of membrane modules has been declining over the past few years, primarily
due to increased focus on research and development to improve product offering
and also due to an increasingly competitive marketplace.



This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary
