Polymer Nanomembrane Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing pharmaceutical industry - Pharmaceuticals use polymer nanomembranes for the transportation of bioactive substances, tissue engineering, wound care, medication delivery, and medical implants due to their high breathability and controlled permeability.

    Global pharmaceutical business is expected to increase by around 6% between 2024 and 2028.
  • Rising popularity of sports - This is influencing the demand for athleisure apparel, which is expected to boost the demand for polymer nanomembrane as it provides the qualities needed for athleisure apparel since these garments are composed of lightweight, flexible material and are waterproof that can withstand snow, rain, and wind, and allow for better air and water vapor permeability.

    The sports industry brought in over USD 402 billion in sales in 2022, and this figure is expected to increase globally in the upcoming years.
  • Expanding food and beverage industry - To organically concentrate food and beverages while preventing degradation, the food and beverage sector uses polymer nanomembranes, which are also used to produce cheese and sweets, concentrate whey, process sugar, and degumming solutions in edible oil processing.

    For instance, the global beverage market would expand by around 10% between 2024 and 2029, reaching a market size of over USD 380 billion by that year.

Challenges

  • Environmental concerns - It is probable that during the manufacturing and disposal processes, nanomaterials may be released into the environment, which may have a possible impact on aquatic ecosystems and species.

    Therefore, before polymer nanomembranes are extensively used, in water remediation and to fulfill the objective of ensuring that everyone has access to clean water, it will be imperative to address these obstacles since environmental pollution is a major worry for both industrialized and developing nations these days.
  • Inconsistency in pore size and quality - can impact the product's quality and complicate the large-scale manufacturing of polymer nanomembranes.

Polymer Nanomembrane Segmentation

 Technology (Phase Inversion, Electrospinning, Layer-by-Layer Assembly)

Phase inversion segment is estimated to hold polymer nanomembrane market share of more than 71% by 2036. The segment growth can be led by the increasing industrial landscape across the globe. Phase inversion refers to the regulated conversion of a liquid phase of a polymer into a solid phase, and is a common process in the production of food, detergents, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Moreover, it is a popular and effective technique for creating nanoscale polymeric films, which is the method most frequently employed for casting polymeric membranes intended for industrial usage.

As per the UNIDO, a post-pandemic recovery was indicated by a 2.3% gain in industrial sectors worldwide, which included waste management, mining, manufacturing, power, water supply, and other utilities.

Also, the phase inversion procedure makes it possible to precisely manage the membrane's porosity, selectivity, and pore size and has several benefits, including scalability and adaptability, which make it a highly desired way to produce polymer nanomembrane.

The controlled change of a polymer from its liquid phase to its solid phase is known as phase inversion, which is used to prepare polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes that combine high flow rates, low-pressure requirements, and outstanding selectivity to assist laboratories in simplifying their filtration setups.

Besides this, electrospinning is a straightforward technique for creating continuous nanofibers of different polymers, polymer blends, and composites of polymers and also creates nanomembranes based on biopolymers by charging and expelling a polymer solution under a high-voltage electric field.

Type (PAN, PE, PVC, Polyamide, PP, PC, PTFE)

The PAN segment is set to register a significant market size by 2036. This growth of the segment is encouraged by the expanding electronics industry. polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is utilized as a host polymer electrolyte, which is characterized as a membrane with electron transport capabilities that has been thoroughly studied as a potential material for electrodes in flexible electronics.

For instance, the global consumer electronics market will reach a market size of over USD 117o billion in 2028.

End-Use Industry (Water & Waste Water Treatment, Chemical, Electronics, Oil & Gas, Food & Beverages, Pharmaceutical & Biomedical)

The water & wastewater treatment segment is assessed to generate the maximum CAGR by the end of 2036. The primary driver of the segment's growth is growing cases of contamination in water. When it comes to water and wastewater treatment, polymer nanomembranes provide effective, dependable, and selective solutions, that can effectively remove suspended particles, germs, and other contaminants from water to ensure high-quality drinking water for drinking, industrial uses, and environmental preservation.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 1.7 billion people worldwide will be using feces-contaminated drinking water in 2022.
