Reverse osmosis (RO) is a special type of filtration that uses a semi-permeable, thinmembrane with pores small enough to pass pure water through while rejecting largermolecules such as dissolved salts (ions) and other impurities such as bacteria. Based onmaterial, type RO membrane can be cellulose based or thin film composite membrane.

Research Methodology

Baseline Methodology

Our dedicated team of industry experts has monitored and analyzed various aspects of the global reverse osmosis membrane market. The team has

analyzed the outlook of various segments of this market, while considering the major influencing factors such as shortage of water in many parts of

nations. The study includes market forecasting, which would enable our clients to take better decisions while planning their strategy to achieve

sustainability in the global reverse osmosis membrane market.

Methodology Followed for Calculation of Market Size:

• Market Size by Value: Market size, in terms of value, for the year 2019 was calculated based on information collected through exhaustive

secondary research and primary surveys, with various key opinion leaders/stakeholders, such as reverse osmosis membrane companies, channel

partners, market influencers & end users, industry experts, and other industry participants.

• The team interviewed more than 15 – 20 reverse osmosis membrane companies, 100 – 120 end users, and 15 – 20 industry experts and other value

chain stakeholders in the global reverse osmosis membrane market to obtain the overall market size from 2015 to 2019, which was validated by the

Delphi technique. Taking standard deviation into consideration, the market size was averaged out, to arrive at the market size data during 2015-

2019.

20

Research Methodology

• Respondents were asked about the current and future market growth rates, market shares by material type, by application, by filter module, by

company and by region. Removing the outlier responses, the geometric mean of growth estimates and provider wise revenue shares generated

across various segments were considered, to arrive at the final revenue shares. Revenue shares generated across various segments were further

triangulated from other stakeholders.

Methodology Followed for Calculation of Market Shares:

• Market shares by material type, by application, by filter module, by company and by region were calculated based on the responses received

through primary surveys with industry experts, in which the respondents were asked about the market shares or revenue generated from various

segments of reverse osmosis membrane markets. The final shares were calculated by taking the geometric mean of the responses gathered from

key opinion leaders after eliminating the outliers.

Methodology Followed for Forecasting:

• TechSci Research performed periodical checks on data collected through the surveys with logic checks and analyzed the survey results in

SPSS/Tableau Software.

• Data triangulation techniques were applied to fill the gaps and to present a more meaningful picture of the market. To forecast global reverse

osmosis membrane market, TechSci Research used various forecast techniques such as:

✓ Moving Average

✓ Time Series Analysis

✓ Regression Analysis

✓ Econometric and Judgmental Analysis

Industry Brief

According to TechSci Research report, “Global Reverse Osmosis Membrane Market By Material Type (Cellulose-Based and Thin Film Composite Membranes), By Application (Desalination Systems,

RO Purification Systems and Medical Devices & Diagnostics), By Filter Module (Plate & Frame, Tubular-Shaped Membranes, Spiral-Wound Membranes and Hollow-Fiber Membranes), By Region,

Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2025”, global reverse osmosis membrane market is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR during the forecast period. Enactment of government rules and

regulations regarding preservation of the quality of water across the globe is one of the major factors accounting for the growth of global reverse osmosis membrane market. Moreover, rising

requirement for desalination predominantly in water scarce regions worldwide is further expected to bode well for the growth of global reverse osmosis membrane through the forecast period. In

addition to this, more and more people are getting aware about water borne diseases worldwide, which in turn is positively influencing the growth of global reverse osmosis membrane market in the

years to come. Also, need for ultrapure water in various industries such as food & beverage, health care industries among others is making headway for the growth of global reverse osmosis

membrane market, globally. However, there are some factors such as short life span of RO membrane and loss of essential minerals from water that can act as major impediments to the growth of

global reverse osmosis membrane market through 2025.

Global reverse osmosis membrane market can be segmented based on material type, application, filter module, company and region. Considering the material type, the market is fragmented into

cellulose-based and thin film composite membranes. The thin film composite membranes segment dominated the global reverse osmosis membrane market in terms of value until 2019 and is further

anticipated to lead the market during the forecast years as well which can be accredited to their high fluxes and salt rejections. Additionally, demand for the product is also high due to their tolerance

to wide range of pH and temperatures when compared to the cellulose-based membrane, which is anticipated to drive the growth of the segment in the coming years.

Toray Industries, Inc., LG Chem, Hydranautics (A Nitto Denko Group Company), Dow Water & Process Solutions, Toyobo Co., Ltd., LANXESS AG, Koch Membrane Systems, Inc., GE Water &

Process Technologies, Trisep Corporation, Membranium (Rm Nanotech) among others are the leading players operating in global reverse osmosis membrane market. The leading players are

adopting several growth strategies to enhance the market scenario of reverse osmosis membrane. Other competitive strategies include mergers & acquisitions to diverse their product portfolio in

order to strengthen their market position. For instance, after merger, DuPont Water Solutions became the global leader in sustainable water separation and purification technologies to the food and

pharmaceutical industries.

“North America is forecast to dominate the global reverse osmosis membrane market during the next five years on the account high awareness about water borne diseases among people. Moreover,

wide use of RO systems by industries in the region is also contribute to the growing trend. Furthermore, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to register high growth through 2025 due to occasional floods,

environmental degradation, soil erosion and rise in pollution levels.”, said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm.
