Medical Membranes Market by material (PTFE, PVDF, PP, PSU & PESU), Process Technology (UF, MF, NF), Application (Pharmaceutical Filtration, Hemodialysis, Drug Delivery, IV Infusion & Sterile Filtration), and Region-Global forecast to 2022
[129 Pages Report] MarketsandMarkets forecasts the Medical Membranes market to grow from USD 2.13 billion in 2017, and projected to reach USD 3.31 billion by 2022, registering a CAGR of 9.2% from 2017 to 2022. The demand for medical membranes is increasing in the coming years because of increasing prevalence of ESRD globally. These patients are treated with dialysis, where membranes are required for filtration and blood purification. Thus, with the increase in the number of ESRD patients, the demand for medical membranes is growing. The objective of the report is to define, describe, and forecast the medical membranes market size based on material, process technology, application, and region.
By application, pharmaceutical filtration is the largest for medical membranes in 2017
Globally, increasing incidences of diseases, advancement in medicines, growing pharmaceutical and healthcare industry, demand for high purity products and medicines are some major driving forces which are anticipated to drive the global medical membrane market for pharmaceutical filtration.
By material type, PSU & PESU will dominate the medical membranes market in 2017
The high demand for PSU & PESU is due to the excellent properties offered by these materials and its increasing demand in pharmaceutical filtration and hemodialysis application. These materials are widely used and promising material in medical applications and waste-treatment membranes as it provides excellent mechanical and thermal properties. PESU is an inherently hydrophilic membrane that provide fast filtration and superior flow rate and are used for aqueous solutions to remove fine particles, bacteria, and fungi. This material is used to manufacture, MF, UF, and gas separation membranes because of its unique properties such as outstanding thermal, mechanical, and hydrolytic strength, both in hot and wet environment. These materials are majorly used for applications such as hemodialysis, sample preparation, sterile filtration, pre-filtration, venting & gas filtration, and infusion therapy.
Nanofiltration is expected to be fastest growing process technology during the forecast period
NF membrane only reject multivalent ions with no selectivity towards monovalent ions, whereas RO rejects all the solutes including monovalent ions. This property enables NF membranes to operate at greatly reduced operating pressures with greatly increased flow rates as compared to RO. Thus, the use of nanofiltration process technology is gaining momentum. Also, Research & development in solvent-stable membranes has allowed the application of nanofiltration membranes to extend into new areas such as pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Thus, driving the demand for nanofiltration.
Europe dominated the medical membranes market in 2017
Europe is among the leader in the pharmaceutical manufacturing and dialyzers demand. Its growth is fueled by the growing ESRD patient pool, increasing availability of better diagnosis facilities, and high incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Diabetes and hypertension accounted for around 60% of the total ESRD cases in Europe.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing demand for artificial organs
With changing lifestyle, incidents of organ failures are on the rise. This is leading to high demand for organ transplant. The number of patient demanding organ transplant is continuously increasing compared to the number of donors donating organs. The demand and supply gap of organ transplant is increasing rapidly. According to US Department of organ donation and transplantation, more than 116,000 patients are on the waiting list as of August 2017, out of which approximately 30% are actually getting transplant performed. Though about 95% of US adults support organ donation, only 54% actually donates. Thus, with the growing supply-demand gap, the trend of organ transplant is diminishing slowly and is substituted by artificial organ replacement. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2016, one in 10 American, that is more than 26 million people in the US have some level of chronic kidney disease. More than 2 million people are being kept alive by renal replacement therapy worldwide. The US, Japan, Germany, Brazil, and Italy are the major countries with high demand for renal replacement therapy. Among these two million people, approximately 1.5 million people undergo dialysis. The yearly growth rate for dialysis patients is more than 7-8%. This growth fuels the demand for medical membranes. The demand for other artificial organs such as pancreases and liver is also increasing. The demand for these artificial organs which uses membranes is also driving the medical membranes market.
Restraint: Long in-process validation process
Medical membranes, though made of medical grade polymers, have to undergo in-process validation for certification. This process takes 3-6 months. After the membrane or membrane component has been validated and certified, the device that uses the membrane also needs to be certified. Despite the high demand for medical products and devices, manufacturers are facing several regulatory barriers due to multi-layered regulations set by the FDA. In the US, for the approval of any new medical product, manufacturers are required to submit performance data to the FDA. In this process, the device is compared with a legally marketed device for the same use and the same technological characteristics. Thus, these lengthy validation and certification process delays the commercialization of medical membranes and medical products.
Opportunity: Growing demand for medical membranes in emerging economies
The need for ultra-pure water for pharmaceutical manufacturing and hemodialysis is driving the demand for medical membranes in emerging regions. Emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil, and other developing countries present significant opportunities for players involved in pharmaceutical production and in the dialysis treatment sector. The demand for dialysis products and services in these countries is increasing due to rising incidence of ESRD. The demand is also supported by growth in aging population, rising incidence of diabetes, hypertension, and increasing awareness about kidney disorders. Contract manufacturing for medical products is also on the rise in countries such as India and China.
Challenge: Lifespan of membranes
The lifespan of a particular type of membrane used in a separation process for medical application is constrained and, therefore, needs replacement after a certain period of time. The medical membranes used in various procedures are prone to fouling, after which, they do not have the same operational excellence. During the treatment of pharmaceutical water or during any filtration/purification process, some unwanted components such as iron, manganese, calcium, sulfate, and other ions form precipitate on the membrane surface. For example, if the RO feed contains a high concentration of material, it may foul the membrane and reduce the life expectancy of the membrane. It is a challenge for the market players to produce membranes that last longer or does not foul easily.
