Market Trends of Pharmaceutical Membrane Filtration Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Pharmaceutical Membrane Filtration Technologies Market according to our research experts:
Microfiltration is Expected to Register a High CAGR Through the Forecast Period
Microfiltration (MF) is a pressure-driven separation process, which is widely used in concentrating, purifying or separating macromolecules, colloids and suspended particles from solution. It is extensively used for the cold sterilization of pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceuticals have been shown to lose their effectiveness upon heat addition. MF membranes are employed as a method to remove bacteria and other undesired suspensions from liquids, a procedure termed as 'cold sterilization', which negates the use of heat.
The use of microfiltration technology has increased in the recent decades due to increasing in pharmaceutical research and drug development. Therefore the microfiltration has become a crucial part of pharmaceutical research and development, and the demand for microfiltration technology is expected to rise in the future.
North America is Expected to Dominate the Pharmaceutical Membrane Filtration Market
North America includes the United States (US), Canada and Mexico. The US and Canada have well structured and development healthcare systems. These countries also promote pharmaceutical research and development and hence have very high expenditure on healthcare. As a result of these policies, many companies globally are encouraged to operate in this region.
Many of the global pharmaceutical players have their headquarters and research labs in the US. As pharmaceutical research requires membrane chromatography, the demand for these technologies and processes is high is North America.This large share can be attributed to the increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals and rising R&D expenditure by biopharmaceutical companies in North America.
