Market Dynamics
Many factors are influencing the market growth of laboratory filtration. The increasing application of laboratory filtration in the pharmaceutical industry is expected to drive market growth.
The increasing application of laboratory filtration in the pharmaceutical industry is expected to drive market growth in the forecast period
As technology advances, both existing and new filtration methods can benefit from better, more efficient filters and techniques in the pharmaceutical industry. Filtration is such a common process in the pharmaceutical industry that it is considered almost ubiquitous. Filtration can be easily applied to a wide range of pharmaceutical needs, and as a result of its adaptability, it is widely used in the industry. Recent advancements in belt filters have increased effectiveness by introducing a pressure difference across the filter cloths. As the tissues pass through a specific section of rollers, the pressure of an induced vacuum can be used to extract the water more efficiently. The medium can also be combined with a filter aid or flocculants to help reduce filter cloth blinding. Water sprays placed strategically can help to keep the filter cloths clean throughout the process.
There are numerous filtration system methodologies used in all areas of pharmaceutical production. Each application is unique in terms of what it filters and its mechanisms to achieve the desired result. For instance, both surface and deep filtration have applications in the industry. As technology advances, both existing and new filtration methods can benefit from better, more efficient filters and techniques in the pharmaceutical industry.
The limitations associated with the filtration system is expected to hamper the market growth
The End-users of laboratory filtration equipment, such as the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, are currently facing cost containment challenges, despite their demand for better and more technologically advanced products. This has increased the pressure on laboratory filtration equipment and accessories manufacturers to provide high-quality products at reasonable prices. Because of this price sensitivity, the laboratory filtration equipment market has experienced price stagnation. Furthermore, because of the intense competition in most laboratory filtration markets, manufacturers cannot pass on R&D costs and other increases in production costs to end-users, resulting in lower profit margins.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Market
The economic and social costs of the pandemic have prompted governments around the world to increase their support for vaccine development and manufacturing, which has increased the use of laboratory filtration products for COVID-19 research. Vaccines are developed and manufactured using a variety of filtration techniques. Clarification (the removal of suspended matter from a fluid medium) of vaccines is an important step that influences product recovery and subsequent downstream purification. The use of a filtration system during COVID-19 has been increased. For instance, the HEPA Filtration is used as a positive pressure clean air recirculating system in clinics, waiting rooms, hospital emergency rooms, and other confined areas, or as a partial or complete exhausting system to create a negative pressure isolation room for patients with COVID 19, TB, SARS, or other infectious diseases.
Market Segmentation Analysis
The microfiltration segment is expected to dominate the global laboratory filtration market
Microfiltration is widely used to filter various particles, including microorganisms like algae, fungi, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses. Microfiltration is now part of the physical machine's mechanical filtration. During the filtration process, no biological or chemical changes occur. Furthermore, it can rapidly and effectively remove plankton, residual bait, and other dirt (fibres, particles, flakes, etc.) from the water. Microfilters can reduce the burden of biological treatment while also improving water treatment efficiency. It is a more efficient and cost-effective method. The microfiltration membrane separation system's filtration principle is based on pressure difference as the system's power. The filtration process is carried out through the filtration function of the very fine pores in the membrane.
The microfiltration membrane separation system has the same membrane pore diameter, and the filtration accuracy is ideal. It is capable of capturing all material particles larger than 1 micron in raw water. The microfiltration membrane separation system has the largest pore size of any membrane and excellent water permeability. Due to the thin membrane and low water resistance, the filtration speed is dozens of times faster than conventional filter media. There are few adsorbents. The microporous membrane has a thickness of 90-150um and has a negligible adsorption capacity. There are no impurities that fall off. The primary factors driving microfiltration adoption are its chemical resistance and high thermal stability. Microfiltration has a high separation capacity and does not require any additional solvents, making the technique simple to use and implement. According to a study published in 2019, HIV was successfully separated through tangential microfiltration in a continuous flow fashion. As a result, it is expected to increase the demand for laboratory microfiltration in the market.
Market Geographical Share
North America region accounted for the largest market share in the global laboratory filtration market
