Food and Beverage Companies Using PVDF Membranes to Eliminate Toxic Materials
by Vijay K. Web MarketingThe World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that nearly 600 million people fall ill and around 420,000 individuals die every year after consuming contaminated food. As per the organization, unsafe food containing harmful parasites, viruses, bacteria, or chemical substances causes over 200 diseases, ranging from cancers to diarrhea. Due to a notable surge in the number of such diseases, the food and beverage sector is using polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes to filter out the toxic materials, if any, from food products and drinks.
Apart from the food and beverage industry, the water and wastewater treatment sector is also using a considerable volume of PVDF membranes to eliminate toxic substances from contaminated water. Thus, the burgeoning demand for healthy food products and clean water will help the PVDF membrane market progress at a CAGR of 7.9% during 2018–2023. According to P&S Intelligence, the market was valued at $720.1 million in 2017, and it will generate $1,142.0 million revenue by 2023.
In recent years, PVDF membrane producers have engaged in product launches, collaborations, and mergers and acquisitions to offer their products to a greater number of customers. For instance, in October 2017, Arkema Group introduced its plan to increase its production capacity of PVDF Kynar in China by 25% to meet the extensive demand from water treatment plants. Other companies focusing on such strategic measures are Danaher Corporation, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., General Electric Company, Merck Group, CITIC Envirotech Ltd., Koch Membrane Systems Inc. (KMS), and Toray Industries Inc.
Whereas, the Asia-Pacific PVDF membrane market is expected to advance at the highest rate in the forthcoming years due to the increasing demand for membrane separation technologies from water and wastewater treatment plants in the region. As the region is observing a huge demand for reusable water, owing to the surging water scarcity, the emergence of membrane processes is being considered as a promising solution for water reclamation. Moreover, the rapid advancements being made in life sciences and biopharmaceutical domains, especially in India, China, and South Korea, will also create an enormous requirement for PVDF membranes in the region.
Thus, the escalating demand for uncontaminated food products and beverages and surging requirement for clean water are expected to fuel the consumption of PVDF membranes across the world.
