Rising Demand for Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Market Industry?

The global Membrane Bioreactor Market size is projected to reach USD 4.9 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 8.3% between 2021 and 2026. The increase in demand for?MBRs in emerging economies of Asia Pacific and South America is due to the rising water scarcity, growing demand for clean water, and high-quality effluents created by MBRs. Growing demand for advanced wastewater treatment technology for more efficient and high-quality treated water and stringent wastewater treatment regulations are major drivers of the market. The growing demand for high-quality effluent is an opportunity for MBR manufacturers to expand their business. However, the sophisticated MBR systems that require a skilled workforce are a major challenge. The higher capital and operational cost of MBRs than that of conventional methods is also hindering the market growth.?

The MBR market size is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period owing to the rising demand for MBR in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications. Governments focus on environmental and wastewater discharge policies, rising water scarcity, and demand for high quality effluent are major growth drivers for the market. The global MBR market size is projected to reach USD 4.9 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 8.3% between 2021 and 2026. MBR membranes such as hollow fiber, flat sheet, and multi-tubular are commonly available in the market and are used in various end-use industries. MBR market growth is primarily driven by the hollow fiber membrane type which are widely used in municipal and industrial applications. Submerged configuration of MBR in various end use industries has increased the global consumption of MBR.

Based on membrane type, the market is segmented as hollow fiber, flat sheet, and multi-tubular. Hollow fiber membrane accounts for the largest market share during the forecast period. Hollow fiber membranes are ideally preferred in submerged MBRs and find applications in both industrial and municipal wastewater treatment. Flat sheet MBR membranes are ideally preferred for industrial application which have smaller flows. Multi-tubular MBR membranes are designed only for external configurations MBRs. However,?all the type of membrane are prone to fouling and clogging of membrane due to impurities which is major drawback for MBR membranes.

Based on system configuration, the MBR market has been segmented into submerged MBR and external MBR. MBR systems are gaining global demand owing to urbanization, stringent discharge regulation, and rising water recycling and reuse for industrial applications. Submerged configuration accounts for larger share during the forecast period. Submerged MBRs are an ideal solution for large-scale plants that require continuous operation. They are standalone systems, which have low excess sludge production and operating intervals compared to conventional systems. External MBRs are widely used for the treatment of brackish water. Additionally, external MBRs are also known as side-stream MBR systems, which are preferred in industrial wastewater treatment applications.

Based on applications, the MBR market is segmented into municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications. Municipal wastewater treatment accounts for a larger application segment during the forecast period. Demand for MBR systems in municipal wastewater treatment is rising due to the poor pollutant removal efficiency of conventional treatment methods. The stringent regulation on effluent quality and demand for clean water is expected to boost the demand for MBRs for municipal wastewater treatment. Additionally, rising industrialization in Asia Pacific is providing business opportunity for the market. MBR is an effective wastewater treatment solution for various end-use industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceutical, pulp & paper, textile, and others.?

Based on region, the MBR market is segmented into five main regions, namely, Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. Rising demand for clean water, water scarcity, stringent effluent quality regulations, and awareness of water conservation are the major factors contributing for the increased demand for MBR. Asia Pacific is the largest market for MBR during the forecast period with the presence of various developing countries such as China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia Pacific. The demand for clean water in countries such as China, India, and Japan is due to their huge population and large industrial bases, such as food & beverage, oil & gas, mining, pulp & paper, semiconductors, automotive, and pharmaceuticals are driving the MBR market.
