Membrane filtration procedures are broadly employed in various sectors such as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and chemical production. Membrane filtration procedures are used as a valuable means of cleaning and filtering waste liquid, bacterial content and industrial procedure liquid. Membrane separation processes function without heating and therefore, use less energy than conventional thermal separation processes such as sublimation or crystallization, distillation. The separation process is purely physical and permeate & retentate can be used. In addition, spiral and tubular sheath plants to screen filths from drinking water have been recently installed in areas where the traditional management proved to be inefficient. Membrane filtration procedures provide confirmation about protection and effectiveness of the drug by eliminating impurities throughout the drug production process.

In pharmaceutical sector, membrane filtration technique is functional in several stages of drug production and development. Furthermore, use of membrane filtration technique involve large-scale drug manufacture, sample preparation, drug screening process, virus removal, laboratory water purification, protein separation, and lab-scale cell culturing. Rapid surge in adoption of pharmaceutical membrane filtration is credited to the stringent environmental protocols and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in the pharmaceutical industry.

The increasing production of generics, rise in adoption of membrane filters in protein purification, sterile filtration, and viral clearance processes are boosting the growth of this market. Additionally, there has been a significant rise in the adoption of single-use technology as it provides cost-effective process that ensures the quality of biologics and maintains drug quality which has rapid growth in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. Moreover, the growing demand for nanofiltration are also the major factors driving the growth of this market. However, membrane fouling concerns, high capital investments for operations and strict regulatory policies are expected to hamper pharmaceutical membrane filtration market.

Systems segment is expected to witness significant growth in this market

Systems segment is anticipated to account for significant revenue share due to the rising adoption of single-use systems in pharmaceutical membrane filtration. The benefits associated with these systems include a high retention rate, reduced cross-contamination risk, low cost, and less consumption of energy.

North America anticipated to dominate the global market during the forecast period

North America is estimated to account for a significant market share owing to rapid adoption of the technology and well established healthcare sector. Growth of pharmaceutical membrane filtration market in North America can be attributed to several factors, such as the presence of key biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in the region and the significant spending on research and development activities in the US.
