Top Filter Bag Companies

The global filter bag market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period, from an estimated USD 2.82 billion in 2025 to USD 3.63 billion in 2030.

The growth of the filter bag market is mainly attributed to the increased demand for air pollution control systems, stricter environmental regulations, and rising industrial activities across various sectors, such as power generation, cement, mining, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. As governments and regulatory bodies enforce tighter emission standards (the US EPA Clean Air Act and Europe’s Industrial Emissions Directive), industries increasingly adopt filter bags as a reliable solution for dust collection and particulate matter (PM) control. The shift toward sustainable manufacturing and workplace safety has further accelerated adoption.

Filter bags are widely used in baghouse dust collectors to capture fine particles from flue gases and industrial processes. Advanced filter media leveraging nonwoven fabrics and nanofiber technologies are developed to improve collection efficiency, reduce pressure drop, and enhance bag life. Besides cost efficiency and easy maintenance, these improvements make filter bags indispensable to industrial filtration. Increasing awareness about clean energy, green manufacturing, and workplace air quality also boosts global investment in filter bag solutions.

Some of the major players in the filter bag market with significant global presence include Donaldson Company, Inc. (US), Parker Hannifin Corporation (US), Pall Corporation (US), Eaton Corporation plc (Ireland), and 3M Company (US). These players have adopted organic and inorganic growth strategies such as product innovations, acquisitions, collaborations, partnerships, and expansions, to strengthen their global footprint and capture a larger market share in the filter bag industry.

In April 2024, Eaton’s Filtration Division introduced two new liquid filtration solutions, SENTINEL and DURAGAF filter bag ranges. These advanced, fully welded polypropylene needle-felt bags integrate particle retention and oil absorption into a single step.
