INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
This BCC technical/marketing report provides an in-depth analysis of the
technical and market drivers relating to the market for ultrafiltration (UF)
membranes, evaluating the current worth of UF membranes by application, and
forecasting growth and trends in the various sectors over the next 5 years. The
conclusions are illustrated with important statistical information on markets,
applications, industry structure, and dynamics along with technological
developments.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
This report is intended for those who require a thorough analysis of the
ultrafiltration membrane industry that traces significant developments and
forecasts important trends, quantifies the various market sectors, and profiles
companies active in those areas. Because of the fragmented nature of the
industry, it is difficult to find studies that gather extensive data from
diverse resources and analyze it in the context of a comprehensive document.
This report contains a unique collection of membrane-related information and
conclusions that is difficult to find elsewhere.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE STUDY AND FOR WHOM
This comprehensive technical/marketing report aims to provide those
interested in investment, acquisition, or expansion into the UF membrane market
with specific, detailed information crucial to making educated decisions. Senior
marketing personnel, venture capitalists, executive planners, research
directors, government officials, and suppliers to the membrane industry who want
to discover and exploit current or projected market niches should find this
report of value. Novice readers who wish to understand how regulations, market
pressures, and technology interact in the UF membrane arena will also find this
study worthwhile.
SCOPE AND FORMAT
This report examines the market for UF as reflected by the major applications
of the technology: food and beverage processing, biopharmaceuticals manufacture,
hemodialysis, potable water production, wastewater treatment, industrial
processes, and semiconductor fabrication. Five-year projections are provided for
market activity and value. Industry structure, membrane applications and trends,
pricing considerations, R&D, government regulations, company profiles, and
competitive technologies are included in the study.
The report is primarily a study of the U.S. market, but due to the
international presence of some industry participants, global activities are
included where appropriate. Values are given in U.S. dollars; forecasts are made
in constant U.S. dollars, and growth rates are compounded. "Sales of
membranes" refers to the sale of membranes and modules sans pressure
vessels, housings, pumps, piping, controls, or other system components.
METHODOLOGY
A comprehensive literature, patent, and Internet search was undertaken and
key industry players were queried. News and current developments in the field
are evaluated in BCC's monthly newsletters, Membrane & Separations
Technology News, Water Technology News, and High Tech Separations News.
