Gas Separation Membrane Market Size, Share, & Industry Analysis Report: By Material (Cellulose Acetate, Polysulfone, and Polyimide & Polyaramide), By Module, By Application, and By Region

Description

List of Tables

The gas separation membranes market size is expected to reach USD 1,911.34 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Gas Separation Membrane Market Share, Size, & Industry Analysis Report: By Material (Cellulose Acetate, Polysulfone, and Polyimide & Polyaramide), By Module, By Application, and By Region; Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Gas separation membranes are semi-permeable barriers that selectively allow certain gases to pass through while blocking others based on differences in molecular size, solubility, or diffusivity. These membranes are widely used in applications such as nitrogen generation, oxygen enrichment, hydrogen recovery, carbon dioxide removal, and natural gas processing. The market is driven by increasing demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective separation technologies, stringent environmental regulations, and the growing need for clean energy solutions. The shift toward membrane technology over traditional cryogenic distillation and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems is attributed to its lower energy consumption, reduced footprint, and scalability.

The rising demand for nitrogen and oxygen in industries such as healthcare, fresh food packaging, and chemical manufacturing is propelling the adoption of gas separation membranes. Membrane-based nitrogen generators are widely used in oil and gas, electronics, and pharmaceutical industries due to their low operational costs and compact design. Similarly, oxygen enrichment membranes are essential in medical oxygen concentrators and wastewater treatment plants.

Gas Separation Membrane Market Report Highlights

In terms of material, the polyimide & polyaramide segment accounted for 43.55% market share in 2024 due to their exceptional thermal and chemical stability, which allows them to perform reliably under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions typical in hydrogen recovery, carbon capture, and syngas purification.

The cellulose acetate segment is expected to grow to USD 409.99 million by 2034 from USD 241.59 million in 2024 at a CAGR of 5.51%. This is due to its rising use in natural gas processing, particularly for carbon dioxide removal.

Based on application, the hydrogen recovery segment is projected to register a CAGR of 6.96% during the forecast period, owing to the growing global efforts toward clean energy transition and the development of hydrogen economies.

Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2024, holding 38.04% market share due to rapid industrial development in emerging economies such as China, India, and Southeast Asian countries.

The North America gas separation membrane market is expected to reach USD 447.08 million in 2034 from USD 250.08 million in 2024. This growth is attributed to technological advancements, regulatory support, and increasing demand across various industrial applications.

The Europe gas separation membrane market accounted for 19.8% of the global market in 2024 due to region's strong commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency, and stringent environmental regulations.

A few global key market players include Air Liquide S.A.; DIC Corporation; Evonik Industries AG; FUJIFILM Manufacturing Europe B.V.; GENERON; Honeywell UOP; Parker-Hannifin Corporation; Schlumberger; Toray Industries, Inc.; and UBE Corporation.
