The global gas separation membrane market is anticipated to grow at a 6.8% CAGR during 2021-2027. The increased demand for gas separation membranes in developing economies, mounting demand for membranes in the carbon dioxide separation process, regulations about carbon capture and storage will propel the growth of the gas separation membranes market. There is an augmented demand for biogas, the cost-effectiveness of membrane separation, less capital cost, less energy consumption requirements as compared to other gas separation techniques and involves a user-friendly approach that will drive the growth of the gas separation membrane market. Gas separation techniques are extensively used in the oil and gas sectors for applications such as natural gas dehydration, carbon dioxide removal, and liquid nitrogen synthesis. The pharmaceutical business is concentrating on the development of novel separation technologies in order to minimize the costs of active component production. Thus, the commercialization of novel and developed membrane systems will further bolster the growth of the market. Compared to traditional batch systems like adsorption and absorption, membrane-based gas separation has an advantage. Nevertheless, the advancement of mixed matrix membranes will create growth opportunities in the gas separation membrane market.
In October 2021, Air Products, the world's leading manufacturer of gas separation and purification membranes, has announced a new brand identity for its world-class membrane business divisions, which will now be known as Air Products Membrane Solutions around the world. The new brand unites the old business units of Air Products PRISM® Membranes, Air Products Norway, and Permea China Ltd. to improve customer experience and encourage collaboration and innovation among the three companies.
The COVID-19 outbreak may limit the growth of the global gas separation membrane market due to the decline supply and production of oil & gas industrial equipment and biomedical devices.
