The global membrane water and wastewater treatment market size is estimated to reach USD 242.6 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing industrial demand, growing demand for new water resources, rapid population growth and urbanization, and increasing focus on water quality.
Membrane water and wastewater treatment is a technique used for cleaning and filtering water for human consumption and agricultural practices. In wastewater treatment process fewer chemicals are used which increases the demand for membrane water and wastewater treatment industries. Rising health concern among people is driving the market.
Clean water is important for human health, social, and economic development. Expanding food production, industrialization, and growth in population require water which builds pressure on water resources and discharge of contaminated water is a threat for human health, which requires advanced wastewater treatment. Rising demand for food due to increasing population requires food therefore; more water is required for agriculture activity and food production.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rising demand for membrane bioreactor technology which is highly used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment is projected to drive the market during the forecast period.
- Rapid growth of the dairy industry where membrane filtration is used to extract lactose from milk is a key factor fueling the market in the coming years.
- High cost of membrane water and wastewater treatment equipment and its operations are anticipated to hinder the market growth.
- Lack of infrastructure for storage and distribution of water in the countries which are economically backward act as major factor that can hamper the market expansion during the forecast period.
- Rising demand for advanced and energy efficient treatment technologies are estimated to create immense opportunities for the market players.

Market Segment Insights:
The reverse osmosis technology is projected to represent a large market share
On the basis of technology, the membrane water and wastewater treatment market is fragmented into nanofiltration, microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and ultrafiltration. The reverse osmosis technology is expected to account for a key share of the market in the coming years as it removes up to 99% of bacteria, and provide high efficiency in terms of water purification. Reverse osmosis is used to remove mineral contaminants like calcium, salt, lead, iron, fluoride, and manganese from water by increasing pressure on it. Beverage producing plants uses reverse osmosis as transportation of water through pipes affects the taste of water therefore taste of beverages.
The municipal segment is projected to hold a key market share
Based on end-users, the membrane water and wastewater treatment market is segregated into healthcare, chemicals, municipal, food & beverages, power, pulp and power, and others. The municipal segment is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the forecast period due to growing water treatment projects and government’s focus on water quality and public health. Rapid growth of industrial sector is due to increasing demand for water and wastewater treatment for clean & processed water.
Europe is anticipated to hold major market share
On the basis of regions, the membrane water and wastewater treatment market is categorized as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market in Europe is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period. The regional market growth can be attributed to increasing demand for advanced residential water treatment, rising environmental deterioration, increasing population, and growth in public sector investments in water infrastructure. Germany is the major market in the membrane water and wastewater treatment among European countries. However, Asia Pacific is expected to exhibit a rapid growth rate in the coming years owing to increasing demand for treated water from various industries such as municipal, healthcare, chemicals, and others.
