Wine manufacturing process, especially white wine manufacturing process, is dependent on membrane filtration technology to achieve the desired clarity and color of the product.

Beverages such as beer and spirits rely on membrane filtration technique for the removal of several undesired particles, such as pathogens, dust, and other solid particles generated during the fermentation process. Membrane filtration technology plays a pivotal role in various processes, including prefiltration and clarification of non-alcoholic beverages such as juices and energy drinks.

Increasing global demand for beverages is creating a positive impact on the beverage membrane filtration market, as these membrane filters are essential for manufacturing beverages. Thus, the increasing global demand for beverages and growth of the beverage industry are propelling the beverage membrane filtration market.

Market Driver- Technological Benefits of Membrane Filtration

Membrane filtration is an efficient technology that is used for the separation of solid particles from liquid or gaseous stream. The membrane filtration process is utilized for a wide range of applications, especially in the beverage industry. The membrane filtration process offers many benefits, such as low energy requirements, flexibility, reduced production costs, and removal of pathogens to a great extent. All these parameters contribute in increasing the adoption rate of membrane filters in the beverage manufacturing industry.

Membrane filtration plays a pivotal role in the process of fine filtration by effectively removing pollutants that potentially degrade the quality of beverages during manufacturing and storage phase. Timely removal of pathogens, dust particles and bio-material generated during processes such as fermentation helps in the production of beverages with high shelf life. This factor affects the supply of beverage manufacturers, as the high shelf life provides high margin for storage of the product before consumption.

Membrane filtration offers the desired clarity to the liquid, which is often a necessary specification in case of beverages such as champagne, white wine, and colorless spirits. Membrane filtration offers several advantages, such as low maintenance cost and easy cleaning, which contributes in increasing the overall cost efficiency of the beverage manufacturing process.

Technological advantages such as low maintenance cost, easy operation, and efficient removal of particles such as pathogens and dust contribute in increasing the adoption rate of the product, thus propelling the market.

 Market Restraint- High Capital Cost

Membrane filtration units often have high capital expenditures, which potentially hamper the market, especially in cost-sensitive regions such as Asia Pacific and Latin America. High capital cost for setting up the membrane filtration unit potentially hampers the adoption rate of the product in the beverage manufacturing process.

Membrane fouling is a phenomenon in which solid particles are deposited or adsorbed onto the membrane pores or onto a membrane surface, which reduces the flow rate of the liquid being filtered.

Excessive fouling leads to replacement of a membrane, which contributes to additional expenditure for the beverage manufacturers. High capital cost for setting up membrane filtration unit potentially decreases its adoption in the beverage manufacturing process, thus, hampering the market.
