While the water & wastewater treatment and pharmaceuticals & medical segments account for maximum share in the membranes market with approximately 62% share in 2014, maximum growth is projected from industrial gas processing and others segments in the near future. The increasing use of membranes in the oil & gas sector for gas processing, hydrogen production, carbon dioxide removal from natural gas streams, and so on are projected to drive the growth in the membranes market from 2015 to 2020. Also, the demand for membranes is projected to increase in the future with the growth of the emerging economies further strengthening the market.
"New product/technological launches is the key strategy adopted by the market players in order to strengthen their existing market position."

The key strategy adopted by the market players was product enhancements between 2010 and 2015. The strategy helped the wastewater treatment segment along with gas industry players on a large scale. The continuous advancements in the product helped companies to treat and handle different types of water compositions. For example, recently, GE announced a new nanofiltration membrane system to remove seawater sulfate (SWS) from injection water for offshore oil production.

Other than product enhancements, capacity expansions were done by the companies to cater to growing demands for membranes in various industries across the globe. Some major acquisitions also took place in 2015 that helped the companies to enhance their membranes business globally. For example, Asahi Kasei Corp. (Japan) acquired Polypore's (U.S.) unit that makes microporous membranes for rechargeable batteries.

Also, 3M made the biggest acquisition in the last eight years by acquiring Polypore's Separations Media business from Polypore International Inc.
