Industry Insights
The Reverse Osmosis Membrane market size was valued at $6.9 billion in 2017,Reverse osmosis is a form of membrane separation, which uses pressure to force a solution through a membrane that retains the solute and allows the pure solvent to pass to the other side. Typically, this membrane is designed to allow only water to pass through while the solutes (for example, salt ions) are being alienated.
The rising trend of Reverse Osmosis Membrane use in alternative water source treatment, including desalination plants and wastewater recycling, the reverse osmosis membrane-based water and wastewater treatment processes are expected to have a great potential in the future. Especially in regions with water scarcity, the provision of water from seawater distillation plants is becoming increasingly important. However, the treatment of surface water to potable water will play an increasingly important role.
