Phase Inversion segment held the largest share in the Nanoporous Membranes Market in 2019.Phase inversion is a demixing process in which initially homogeneous polymer solution is transformed from a liquid state to a solid state in a controlled manner (i.e.) It helps to fabricate polymeric porous membrane with a large form of structure. Phase Inversion is the most commonly used method in microfiltration, ultra-filtration and reverse osmosis.  

Waste Water Treatment held the largest share in the Nanoporous Membranes Market in 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.1% during forecast period 2020-2025. About 71% of earth’s surface is covered with water out of which only 0.03% of water is clean and can be used by humans. Nanoporous Membranes filter pollutants, such as metallic ions, salts, organic molecules, and microbes from wastewater. Nanoporous membranes has rapid adoption in the water treatment application due to the rapid development of industries and increasing human activities, such as metallurgy, fertilizers, steel, mining, food & beverages and pesticides. Zeolite membranes are widely used as an alternative to polymeric membranes for desalination of seawater and wastewater. Hence, nanoporous membranes are widely used in water treatment applications in order to keep the water clean from harmful microbes in water such as algae, fungi, planktons, virus, bacteria, and amoebas which is responsible for causing illnesses.  Increasing use of water treatment in industries due to its advantages for operation at room temperature, simple operation processes, low energy consumption, high efficiency, and small investment would increase in demand of Nanoporous Membranes Market in the forecast period.

North America held the largest share with 38.2% in 2019 in Nanoporous Membranes Market. The United States is a major industrialized country which houses multiple industries in categories of large, medium, and tiny. The nation is renowned for its booming trading activities. United States Environmental Protection Agency works on supplying clean drinking water and manages the 'Safe Water Policy Revolving Program’s, in which it funds environmental protection to fulfill infrastructure needs. In addition to the loans, the government is now supporting private investments in water and wastewater treatment. 

Nanoporous Membranes Market is used in many biomedical applications such as sorting, sensing, isolating and releasing biological molecules. For use in smart implantable drug delivery systems, bio artificial organs and other novel nano-enabled medical devices, nanoporous systems engineered to mimic natural filtration systems are being actively developed. Immunoisolation devices are increasingly used to transplant cells for treating a variety of human diseases without the need for immunosuppressive drugs. The drug delivery mechanism using nanoporous membranes can be used by patient-customized medical care for a new treatment of different diseases. In addition, with the introduction of several new microdialysis systems for use in the peripheral organs, microdialysis is seeing widespread use in sampling molecules in tissues such as muscle, liver and adipose tissue, as well as in the spinal cord, synovial fluid, vitreous humour, and blood to assess the delivery and distribution of parent drug and metabolites and their effects on endogenous compounds. Also, nanoporous membrane is used for the production of implantable surgical systems.

Proton-exchange membrane type fuel cell is an appealing and viable choice for renewable energy production for mobile and transport applications. Proton-exchange membrane fuel cell is efficient and has high energy density. Fuel cells provide a major benefit over conventional combustion-based thermal energy transfer, resulting in electrical power efficiencies ranging between 35 and 55%, resulting in extremely small pollutant emissions. Proton-exchange membrane can be operated under warm conditions further improving the efficiency of fuel cells.

Membrane fouling is a major hindrance to advancing water treatment and membrane separation technologies. Fouling diminishes process productivity, shortens membrane life and span raises operating costs. Membrane flux is reduced by fouling either temporarily or permanently. The main problem in the application of membrane filtration technologies is the decrease of permeates flux or irreversible membrane fouling. Inorganic fouling or scaling, colloidal fouling, organic fouling, and biofouling are the types of membrane fouling which has been introduced. Formation of biofilms on the membrane surfaces or membrane biofouling is regarded as the major problem.
