  Rising demand for ceramic membranes from the food and beverages industries is driving the market growth

  
  

Due to its numerous advantages, including filtration capabilities and antibacterial activity, ceramic membranes are used extensively in the food and beverage industry. Additionally, the ceramic membranes are particularly crucial for the food & beverage industries due to their high separation efficiency and superior chemical durability. The limitations of polymeric membranes can be overcome by ceramic membranes. Because of this, the majority of the food and beverage businesses, particularly those that produce dairy products, are choosing to use ceramic membranes instead of any other membrane services. Ceramic membranes are becoming more and more necessary in standard manufacturers as a means of upgrading the quality. Ceramic membranes are also employed in scientific processes for purifying and concentrating sweeteners, isolating milk proteins, and concentrating milk proteins. In several sectors, crossflow filtration with ceramic membranes is utilised to purify aqueous goods. For instance, the manufacturing of wine, beer, fruit and vegetable juice. Ceramic membranes have also been employed in these industries to separate cells for the manufacture of lactic acid and amino acids, which are both produced in the dairy industry.

The food & beverage sectors are expanding their production quickly to keep up with the high demand. The market for ceramic membranes is anticipated to develop in the next years as a result of this upward trend in demand for ceramic membranes in their respective industries. In light of these many distinctive aspects, there is an increasing demand for ceramic membranes from the food and beverage sectors, which is predicted to fuel demand and sales in the worldwide ceramic membranes market.

The need for water filtration and wastewater treatment services is on the rise due to the world's population growth and rising wastewater production. One of the key uses in the water purification process is the use of ceramic membranes. Ceramic membranes are employed in the treatment of water and wastewater due to their great mechanical strength and chemical temperature resistance. Municipal water and wastewater treatment as well as industrial wastewater treatment are among the uses of ceramic membranes in water treatment. Industrial waste water, including that produced by the textile industry, printing, and dyeing, needs to be constantly handled. The need for ceramic membranes is rising along with the development of the water treatment sectors on the global market, which may eventually boost the market for ceramic membranes. Oil field injection water, water used in the paper industry, landfill leachate, palm oil wastewater, titanium dioxide wastewater, and many more types of water treatment can all be treated using ceramic membranes. Thus, driving the Ceramic Membranes market revenue.

Ceramic Membranes Industry Developments

October 2022 The Netherlands' PWNT has placed a fresh order with METAWATER CO., LTD. For the United Kingdom's Hampton Loade water treatment facility, ceramic membranes are the subject of this order. When finished, it will be the biggest water treatment facility using ceramic membranes in the world. The company's brand value and customer attention will increase as a result of this news.June 2023 A research team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed a new method for manufacturing ceramic membranes that are more resistant to fouling. Fouling is a major problem that can occur in ceramic membranes, as it can clog the pores of the membrane and reduce its efficiency. The new NIST method uses a laser to create a nanostructured surface on the membrane, which helps to prevent fouling.
