Filtration Equipment Global Market Report 2026

Filtration equipment refers to mechanical systems designed to separate solids from liquids or gases by passing them through a porous medium or filter. These systems range in complexity from basic mesh screens to sophisticated membrane filters and vacuum filtration setups. The primary purpose is to eliminate impurities, contaminants, or particulate matter to ensure product quality, safeguard downstream equipment, and comply with environmental and regulatory standards.

The main categories of filtration equipment include air filtration, liquid filtration, and dust filtration. Air filtration involves removing particles, contaminants, and pollutants from the air to enhance its quality and safety. This process is classified by technology into depth filtration and surface filtration, and it is utilized across various industries such as manufacturing, power generation, mining and metallurgy, oil and gas, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have influenced the filtration equipment market by increasing costs of imported membranes, filter media, housings, and control components.

The filtration equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.86 billion in 2025 to $17.1 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial pollution control requirements, expansion of manufacturing industries, growth in power generation plants, mining sector demand, pharmaceutical quality standards.

The filtration equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.88 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stringent environmental regulations, growth in clean water demand, expansion of pharmaceutical production, adoption of smart filtration monitoring, industrial sustainability initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for high efficiency filtration systems, rising adoption of membrane filtration technologies, expansion of filtration in industrial waste management, increasing use in pharmaceutical manufacturing, focus on energy efficient filtration equipment.

The growing demand for sustainable wastewater management is expected to drive the growth of the filtration equipment market in the coming years. Sustainable wastewater management involves treating, reusing, and disposing of wastewater in ways that safeguard human health and the environment while conserving resources and supporting long-term ecological balance. This demand is driven by the increasing scarcity of freshwater resources, as rising water stress necessitates greater reliance on wastewater recycling to meet consumption needs. Filtration equipment facilitates sustainable wastewater management by efficiently removing contaminants, making treated water safe for reuse, and reducing environmental impact. It also promotes resource conservation by minimizing freshwater usage and supporting eco-friendly waste disposal practices. For example, in October 2024, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a US-based government agency, the US received US$6.2 billion in investments for Fiscal Year 2025 to upgrade water infrastructure, combining a new $3.6 billion allocation with an earlier $2.6 billion, to safely manage wastewater, protect freshwater resources, and provide safe drinking water to homes, schools, and businesses. Hence, the increasing demand for sustainable wastewater management is fueling the growth of the filtration equipment market.

Key players in the filtration equipment market are focusing on innovative media designs, such as gradient mesh structure technologies, to improve operational efficiency and filtration performance. Gradient mesh structure media refers to filter designs that incorporate varying pore sizes across layers, allowing for more efficient contaminant trapping and extended filter life. For instance, in January 2025, Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc., a US-based provider of filtration solutions, introduced its NanoNet N3 filter media technology. This advanced filter features a unique gradient mesh structure that offers increased dirt-holding capacity, improved equipment protection, and extended service intervals. The technology allows for more compact filters and contributes to sustainability efforts by reducing the consumption of raw materials and energy during production.

In November 2024, Micronics Engineered Filtration Group Inc., a US-based company specializing in industrial filtration, acquired Action Filtration Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move enhances Micronics' ability to deliver comprehensive engineered filtration solutions, particularly in air pollution control and industrial environmental applications. The acquisition strengthens Micronics' product offerings with high-performance pleated filters, cartridge dust collector filters, and other advanced technical filtration products. Action Filtration Inc., also based in the United States, manufactures and distributes a wide range of industrial filtration equipment tailored for demanding industrial environments.
