Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Pharmaceutical Filtration Market size was over USD 13.33 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to cross USD 88.97 Billion by the end of 2037, witnessing more than 15.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of pharmaceutical filtration is assessed at USD 15 Billion. The growth of the market is primarily attributed to the growing number of new drugs, and positive trends in spending for drug research and development (R&D) worldwide. According to the statistics presented by the Congressional Budget Office, in the year 2019, the U.S. pharmaceutical industry invested USD 83 billion in R&D.

Pharmaceutical filtration is a process of removing solid particulate matter from a fluid in the form of liquid or gas. A porous medium is used for this process. As the biopharmaceutical market is highly regulated and new means are annexed consistently to reduce wastage, the process of filtration is used widely in pharmaceutical industries. Global market size is guaranteed to flourish as the filtration process is considered to be omnipresent with the increased spending for R&D in the pharmaceutical industry along with the introduction of new drugs at a faster pace. Pharmaceutical wastages are expected to create significant revenue generation for the key players operating in the global pharmaceutical filtration market during the forecast period. It is estimated that more than 100,000 ton of pharmaceutical products are consumed globally each year, with Europe accounting for 24% of that total consumption. Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and other chemical ingredients are released into the environment during the manufacturing, usage, and disposal of these pharmaceutical products, causing pharmaceutical pollution worldwide.

Pharmaceutical Filtration Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Increasing Investment in Biopharmaceutical Research and Development - A very small patient group of people can receive approved medications. Biopharmaceutical companies work hard to produce high-quality pharmaceuticals that patients get for a long time. According to the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations, it is estimated that USD 179 billion was spent globally on the biopharmaceutical industry R & D in 2018. The aggregate contribution from the combined, direct, indirect, and induced effects of the biopharmaceutical industry was USD 1,838 billion to the world’s GDP.
  • Upsurge in the Use of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) – Globally, China produces approximately 75 to 85% of antibiotic APIs whilst Indian companies are leading in the production of finished products.
  • Rise in the Utilization of Single-Use Technologies & Systems in the Biopharmaceutical Industry – It was found that single-use bioreactors grew by approximately 59% points over the past 13 years.
  • Surge in the Profitability of Large Pharmaceutical Companies - it was observed that, from 2000 to 2018, the cumulative revenue of 35 large pharmaceutical companies was approximately USD 11.5 trillion, with gross profit of more than USD 8.5 trillion, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of USD 3.5 trillion, and net income of USD 2 trillion.
  • Upsurge in Nanofiltration Membrane Market - in the year 2020, the U.S. nanofiltration market was estimated to be USD19 Million.

Challenges

  • Upsurge of Fiber Breakage in Membrane Filters - Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities frequently fail to filter out all of the chemicals employed in the process, which causes the chemicals to leak into nearby freshwater systems before finally reaching the sea, lakes, streams, and rivers. In China, the polymeric membrane was already widely used to purify drinking water, with just a maximum treatment capacity of 3.8 million tonnes.
  • Negative Impact of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) on Human Health and the Ecosystem
  • High Cost Involved in the Installation and Upgradation of the Filtration System
