DUBLIN, Ireland (Dec. 15, 2016)—The business analysis firm Research and Markets has announced the availability of the report called “Membrane Technology for Liquid and Gas Separations.”

The combined U.S. market for membranes used in liquid and gas separations should reach $4.6 billion by 2021, an increase from the $3.4 billion level in 2016, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2 percent from 2016 to 2021, according to the report.

This report is primarily a study of the U.S. market, but because of the international presence of many industry participants, global activities are included where appropriate, according to the firm. Values are given in U.S. dollars, and revenue is counted at the manufacturer level. Forecasts are in constant U.S. dollars and growth rates are compounded. Five-year projections are provided for market activity and value.

Industry structure, technological trends, pricing considerations, research and development, government regulations, company profiles, and competitive technologies are included in the study. Only industrial-scale membrane products were evaluated. No consumer products (i.e., point-of-use water systems) are included in the analysis.
