Asia Pacific and Europe were the key regions, in terms of strategic developments undertaken from 2013 to 2017. Asia Pacific accounted for a share of 65% of all the expansions that took place from 2013 to 2017. Companies such as Arkema (France), Merck (Germany), Koch Membrane Systems (US), Bio-Rad (US), CITIC Envirotech (Singapore), and Thermo Fisher (US) undertook several expansions to serve customers more efficiently and increase their market shares. These companies adopted both organic and inorganic growth strategies such as expansions, mergers & acquisitions, and new product launches to strengthen their foothold in the PVDF membrane market.
Arkema accounted for the largest share of all the development activities in the market from 2013 to 2017. Arkema SA is increasingly participating in exhibitions and tradeshows to showcase its products. It is also focusing on expansions in multiple regions to increase its production capacity in various applications. As part of its business strategy, Arkema mainly focuses on inorganic growth for PVDF membrane business. In October 2016, Arkema announced its plans to increase the production capacity for Kynar PVDF by 25% at its plant in Changshu, China. This expansion helped in meeting the strong demand, particularly in the water treatment application. With this investment, the facility in Changshu became the largest PVDF plant in Asia.
Merck operates in three business sectors, namely, life science, healthcare, and performance materials. Merck is a leading supplier to the global life sciences industry. It provides solutions and services for research, development, and production of biotechnology and pharmaceutical drug therapies. EMD Millipore, the life sciences business of Merck, is one of the biggest players in the PVDF membrane market, with products, such as Aervent (PTFE), Durapore (PVDF), and Millipore Express (PES) membranes. In July 2016, Merck announced its plans of building a new campus in Burlington, Massachusetts, US. This new campus will serve as a major hub for the life science business of the company in North America. The 280,000-square-foot facility will include a training center as well as a customer collaboration laboratory with office space.
The Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) membrane market is projected to reach USD 798.4 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2017 to 2022. PVDF is used across various industries, due to its various properties, such as high flow rate, excellent oxidation resistance, good heat resistance, and broad chemical compatibility. PVDF membrane is widely used in industrial wastewater treatment and water filtration applications. Factors such as increasing population and rising concerns regarding wastewater discharge and drinking water quality are expected to drive the growth of the PVDF membrane market in the coming years.
Increased R&D spending by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and rise in government support are expected to fuel the growth of the industries. This growth in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology end-use industries is expected to drive the growth of the PVDF membrane market in the coming years.
North America is expected to dominate the PVDF membrane market during the forecast period. Countries, such as the US, Canada, and Mexico, are expected to witness an increased adoption of PVDF membrane in the industrial wastewater treatment application.
India is expected to be the fastest-growing market for PVDF membrane in Asia Pacific. Growth in the biopharmaceutical, manufacturing, textiles, chemical, and petrochemical industries, which are the key end-use industries, is anticipated to boost the growth of the PVDF membrane market in the near future. The growing population in India exerts pressure on the water sources, which has led to a rise in focus on wastewater treatment by the government in the country. In the coming years, the demand for water and wastewater treatment is estimated to rise in the country, which will consequently boost the growth of the PVDF membrane market in India. PVDF membrane is used across various applications, such general filtration and sample preparation applications, and others.
Emerging regions such as Latin America and the Middle East are witnessing an increase in demand for medical facilities and devices, which is expected to propel the growth of the PVDF membrane market. PVDF membrane is appropriate and well-suited for numerous applications in chromatography and biotechnology laboratories. These membrane filters are flexible, durable, and virtually indestructible. Hydrophilic PVDF membranes are resistant to solvents and are typically used for HPLC sample preparation.
PVDF membrane is used in sample preparation & purification for flash chromatography, High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPCL), Low Pressure Liquid Chromatography (LPLC), Solid Phase Extraction (SPE), Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME), and sample decomposition.
High pressure liquid chromatography is an important purification separation method used in sample preparation application. HPLC sample preparation systems are often an alternative to syringe filters, accomplishing purification long before testing procedures begin.
