The market size of PVDF membrane is growing steadily, and hydrophobic membrane is the mainstream product in the industry.
PVDF membrane, also known as polyvinylidene fluoride membrane, is a solid support commonly used in Western blotting. PVDF membrane has properties such as flame retardant, low smoke, high abrasion resistance, and mildew resistance.
Industrial Research Center issued the Global and Chinese PVDF in 2023 An in-depth research report on the membrane industry shows that the global PVDF membrane market will grow from US$780 million in 2023 to US$1.21 billion in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.2%. PVDF membranes have good hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, making them widely suitable for biopharmaceutical and water and wastewater treatment industries. At the same time, PVDF membranes are also used in biopharmaceuticals, industry, food and beverages, and other industries. A wide range of application scenarios have promoted the growth of the PVDF membrane market size.
Hydrophobic membrane will become the largest product in the PCDF membrane market
Based on type segmentation, hydrophobic PVDF membranes accounted for the largest market share. The reason why hydrophobic PVDF membrane has the largest market share is its high flow rate, excellent oxidation resistance, good heat resistance and wide chemical compatibility. Hydrophobic PCDF membranes do not get wet in water, but only in low surface tension liquids, and are therefore used as vent filters for tanks and containers, waterproof vent filters for electrical enclosures, and filters for monitoring airborne contaminants and a filter that protects the vacuum pump from water ingestion.
General filtering PVDF film market will grow as soon as possible
Based on application, general filtration membranes in the PVDF membrane market will become the fastest growing application. The largest application in the general PVDF membrane market is widely used in filtration applications in biopharmaceutical, petrochemical, food and beverage industries. Chemical inertness, ability to withstand high temperatures, good mechanical properties and high filtration efficiency make PVDF membranes suitable for industrial filtration applications exposed to corrosive environments and in contact with gases, acids, solvents and alkaline solutions.
During the forecast period, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to become the largest regional market for PVDF membranes in the world
The Asia-Pacific region will become the world’s largest regional market for PVDF membranes. The Asia-Pacific region has abundant raw materials for the production of PVDF membranes with lower production costs. At the same time, demand in the region is also growing. All major PCDF membrane manufacturers in the world are established in the Asia-Pacific region. Factories, regions, India and China are fast-growing markets.
Major players in the global PVDF membrane market include: Arkema SA (France), Merck Millipore (US), KOCH Separation Solutions (US), Pall Corporation (US), Cytiva Life Science (US), CITIC Envirotech Pte Ltd (Singapore) , Bio-Rad Laboratories (USA), Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (USA), Membrane Solutions, LLC. (USA), GVS Filter Technology (Italy) and Toray Industries, Inc. (Japan).
