Laboratory filtration market to reach USD 6.1B by 2029

Laboratory filtration market in terms of revenue was estimated to be worth $4.1 billion in 2024 and is poised to reach $6.1 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2024 to 2029 according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets™.

Some factors contributing to the growth of the global market include rising R&D spending in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, growing adoption of membrane filtration, increasing demand for single-use filtration products, stringent regulatory requirements. Despite this, concerns related to membrane fouling, and contamination risks and need to preserve product integrity are expected to hinder market growth.

The membrane filters segment accounted for the largest share of the filters & filter media segment in the laboratory filtration market in 2023
Based on filters & filter media, the laboratory filtration market is segmented into membrane filters, membrane sheets & discs, filter media, depth filters, and other filters. Membrane filters segment dominated the market in 2023 and is expected to dominate the market in the forecast period. Membrane filters are further segmented based on module into capsule filters, syringe filters, syringeless filters, and other membrane filters. Among these, capsule filters are most widely used as they feature a capsule-shaped housing filled with membrane filter media, providing a convenient and disposable solution for sterile filtration, clarification, and particle removal.

The polyethersulfone (PES) segment is estimated to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period in the laboratory filtration market
Based on material type, the filtration membrane market is further segmented into Polyethersulfone (PES), Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF), Nylon, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Mixed Cellulose Ester & Cellulose Acetate (MCE & CA), Polycarbonate Track-etched (PCTE), and other filtration membrane (polypropylene (PP), cellulose nitrate (CN), regenerated cellulose (RC), gelatin, PETE, and polyvinylchloride (PVC)). PES filtration membrane are most widely used due to their hydrophilic nature, high flow rates, high chemical resistance, low protein-binding properties, and stability in alkaline pH.

The Asia Pacific region will be the fastest-growing region of the laboratory filtration market in 2023
Based on the region, the laboratory filtration market is segmented into major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa. The Asia Pacific is anticipated to register fastest growth in the laboratory filtration owing to the increasing adoption of filtration techniques, research & manufacturing facility expansions by pharmaceutical companies, high government investments & fundings for R&D, and growing biotechnology industries.
