The research methodology used to estimate and project the market size included the ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ approaches. The total size of the non-woven fabrics market industrial membranes was calculated and accordingly, weightages were provided for various segments. This was done on the basis of extensive primary interviews and secondary research based on the information available on websites of various associations such as EDANA (European Disposables and Nonwovens Association), INDA (Global Trade Association of the Nonwovens Industry), and AMTA (American Membrane Technology Association). Primary research conducted for this report included extensive interviews with key people such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and executives. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into several segments and sub-segments. The data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and sub-segments. The breakdown of profiles of primary respondents is depicted in the figure below.

The growth in demand for desalination is also expected to positively impact the non-woven fabrics market industrial membranes.

The non-woven fabrics market industrial membranes is segmented on the basis of module type, application, and region. Spiral-wound is estimated to be the most widely used module type in reverse osmosis filtration process, and accounted for the largest market share in 2015; this is projected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. It is a low-cost module type, offering benefits similar to those of other module types.

On the basis of application, the market is segmented into water & wastewater treatment, pharmaceutical & medical uses, food & beverage processing, chemical processing, industrial gas processing, and others (fuel cells or ion-exchange batteries, building & construction sectors, military & sports apparels, and pulp & paper sector). The industrial gas processing segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR, due to the increasing use of membranes for processing natural gas.

On the basis of key regions, the market for non-woven fabrics industrial membranes is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). The Asia-Pacific market is projected to grow at the highest rate from 2016 to 2021, as countries in this region are expected to achieve high growth in the medical & construction sectors; this would lead high demand for water treatment systems, thereby increasing the demand for non-woven fabrics industrial membranes.
