According to a recent report by Reports and Data, the membrane contactor market is anticipated to reach a market size of USD 373.2 Million by 2027, with a high compound annual growth rate (CAGR) throughout the forecast period. The market's growth is driven by several key factors, including the increasing preference for operational flexibility, controlled high interfacial area, energy-efficient solutions, and modular and compact designs compared to traditional gas absorbers.
Membrane contactors (MCs) are highly favored due to their advanced membrane technology and their wide range of applications in sustainable and eco-friendly processes. These processes include water desalination, industrial, commercial, and municipal wastewater treatment, pharmaceutical processing, food and beverage production, protein extraction and crystallization, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, as well as volatile organic compound (VOC) removal.
The advantages offered by membrane contactor systems over traditional column contactors, such as reduced size, enhanced operational flexibility, higher mass transfer rate with linear scale-up, and integration possibilities, are contributing factors to the growth of the global membrane contactor market.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the growth of the global membrane contactor market. Market players are uncertain about the industry's future and have been adapting their strategies accordingly. The pandemic disrupted manufacturing and transportation services, leading many multinational companies to temporarily close their factories. Nevertheless, end-users have placed a greater emphasis on filtration process safety, leading to the adoption of effective sterilization and sanitization measures, which have directly boosted market growth.
