Industrial Filtration Global Market Report 2026

Industrial filtration involves the use of systems to separate particles and substances from liquids and gases, with the aim of prolonging the lifespan of manufacturing equipment and safeguarding the working environment. The processes related to industrial filtration encompass the manufacturing and sale of pleated air filter elements, rolled goods, finished air filter bags, cages, and accessories, as well as impulse air cleaning products and associated services. This not only helps in maintaining the purity of process outputs in manufacturing plants or adjacent areas but also aids in the removal of contaminants from the air and gas during operations.

The primary categories of industrial filtration include liquid and air filtration. Liquid industrial filtration pertains to systems designed for filtering liquid-state components, particularly those with high solids concentration in a continuous process. This filtration process is a fundamental unit operation widely practiced in the chemical process, petroleum, and related industries. Various filters, such as activated carbon/charcoal, fiberglass, filter paper, metal, and non-woven fabric, are employed in liquid filtration. Key products in industrial filtration include bag filters, filter presses, cartridge filters, depth filters, drum filters, electrostatic precipitators, ULPA, and HEPA filters. These products find applications across diverse industries, including food and beverage, chemicals and petrochemicals, power generation, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, metal and mining, and automotive.

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 are impacting the industrial filtration market by increasing the cost of imported filter elements, electrostatic precipitator components, housings, and monitoring electronics. Heavy industries in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported filtration equipment, while Asia-Pacific exporters face competitiveness pressure. These tariffs are increasing system costs and slowing plant upgrades. However, they are also promoting local manufacturing, regional assembly, and innovation in modular and high-performance industrial filtration solutions.

The industrial filtration market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $35.46 billion in 2025 to $37.88 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial safety regulations, expansion of manufacturing facilities, demand for equipment protection, growth of oil and gas processing, adoption of dust collection systems.

The industrial filtration market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $49.36 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to environmental sustainability mandates, smart factory implementation, demand for energy-efficient filtration, growth of industrial automation, tightening air quality norms. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of high-efficiency filtration systems, growing focus on workplace air quality, adoption of continuous filtration processes, integration of digital monitoring solutions, rising demand from heavy industries.

The need for a safe working environment in industrial facilities is expected to drive the growth of the industrial filtration market. Industrial settings contain pollutants such as coarse and liquid dust, acetylene, benzene, methane, ethane, propane, and hydrogen, which can adversely affect employee health. Ensuring a safe working environment is therefore essential to protect employee safety, maintain health, and enhance productivity. Government regulations and mandates on occupational health and safety further reinforce this necessity. Industrial filtration plays a key role in creating a safe environment by removing contaminating particles from air and other gases in industrial settings. For example, in February 2025, according to the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health, a UK-based organization, data showed that in 2024-25, 1.9 million people were affected by new or existing work-related illnesses, up from 1.7 million the previous year. Therefore, the requirement for safe working conditions is fueling demand for industrial filtration.

Major companies in the industrial filtration market are investing in innovative products to gain a competitive edge. For instance, in September 2023, PPG Industries, a U.S.-based paints and coatings manufacturing company, launched high-performance ultrafiltration (UF) membrane and filter elements for industrial process water and wastewater applications. These UF membranes feature proprietary antifouling treatment technology, making them superhydrophilic and inhibiting fouling by challenging contaminants. This innovation aims to extend membrane service life, reduce maintenance and replacement costs, and improve water reuse in various industries. The applications for these filtration membranes span industries such as oil and gas, automotive, and industrial paint lines. Such product innovations contribute to the competitiveness and growth of the industrial filtration market.

In December 2023, Micronics Inc., a US-based company specializing in customized engineered filtration solutions, acquired Solaft Filtration Solutions for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enhance Micronics Inc.'s ability to serve industries such as aluminum, alumina, mining, power generation, and steel, all of which require advanced filtration technologies for environmental compliance and emissions control. Solaft Filtration Solutions is an Australia-based provider of industrial filtration solutions.
