Melt-Blown Polypropylene Filters Market Size, COVID-19 Impact Analysis, Regional Outlook, Growth Potential, Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2022 – 2028
- Report ID: GMI4051
Melt-Blown Polypropylene Filters Market size is expected to gain remarkable traction over 2022-2028, on account of the extensive usage of this filter in liquid prefiltration industries, given long service life, great loading capacity, and high flow rate, among other advantages. The rising popularity of nonwovens for filtration applications, due to ease of strikethrough, longer service life, and reduced energy cost, will also fuel the adoption of melt-blown cartridge filters with polypropylene fabric. Melt-blown cartridge filters refer to cylindrical cartridges developed from the finest polymer fibers that are melt-blown and collected over the rotating spindle. Polypropylene is the most common material used in such filters, which can withstand corrosive liquids and chemicals and have good dirt holding capacity, among other notable features.
Strong focus of food and beverage companies on boosting manufacturing activities will foster the melt-blown polypropylene filters market trends over 2022-2028. For example, in June 2021, Green Mountain Beverage announced the expansion of its capacity from 100 cans to 600 cans per minute, which could augment the need for melt-blown PP filters to remove contaminants from food and beverages. In addition, the high emphasis on wastewater management in developing countries will also augment the demand for these filters, as products made with PP depth media are commonly used in wastewater filtration. However, the availability of alternatives like high flow pleated filters with usage benefits, including high flow rate and efficiency, may hinder industry dynamics to some extent.
Considering end-user industry, the melt-blown polypropylene filters industry from the pharmaceuticals segment will record considerable revenue by 2028. This can be credited to the increased spending on research and development by pharma companies, and the robust requirement of aseptic filtration during the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The cosmetics end-user segment will also amass substantial gains over the estimated timeline. The segmental growth is due to the heightened demand for skincare products, especially during the coronavirus pandemic, as the filter is used in manufacturing, processing, holding, and packaging cosmetics.
Latin America melt-blown polypropylene filters market is set to depict a strong growth rate through 2028. The is driven by the escalating oil production and the potential surge in the need for PP melt-blown filter cartridges to remove contaminants like fine aerosols as well as low surface tension liquid such as lube oils. The rising investment in water and sewage treatment, coupled with rapid urbanization, will also propel the regional market outlook in the upcoming years.
The competitive landscape of the melt-blown polypropylene filters industry consists of companies such as Brother Filtration, Lenntech, Eaton, Trinity Filtration Technologies, Pall Corporation (Danaher Corporation), United Filters, 3M, Borealis (International Petroleum Investment Company), and Parker-Hannifin Corporation, among others. Innovative product launches and strategic mergers and acquisitions are some of the initiatives being undertaken by these market players to strengthen their footprint and gain a competitive edge over rivals in the global market.
COVID-19 Impact on melt-blown polypropylene filters market trends:
Economic disruptions and containment measures related to the novel coronavirus pandemic have led to the slowdown of oil production and consequently resulted in a significant drop in global demand. As per the estimates from IEA (International Energy Agency), oil demand was down by 30% in April 2020 as compared to a year earlier. These factors may have asserted a negative impact on the melt-blown polypropylene filters industry, given the usage of the product in the filtration of crude oil. However, the strong focus of medical agencies to mitigate disruptions in the supply of medicines during the pandemic may aid industry recovery, since the pharmaceuticals sector is a major end-user of melt-blown polypropylene filter materials.
