What market trends are acting as primary growth drivers for the reverse osmosis (ro) membrane sector?
The increasing demand for clean drinking water is expected to propel the demand for the reverse osmosis membrane market going forward. Clean water is a kind level water with less than 0.5 parts per 1000 dissolved parts. Clean drinking water is essential for good health and well-being. Each person on earth requires between 20 and 50 liters of safe water a day for drinking, cooking, and basic hygiene which is cleaned by reverse osmosis membrane application. For instance, in July 2023, according to the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, a US-based humanitarian aid organization, in 2022, in 2022, 5.82 billion people accessed safely managed water services, with an additional 1.5 billion utilizing basic services. However, 2.2 billion individuals still lacked access to safely managed water services. This included 1.5 billion with basic services, 292 million with limited water access, 296 million relying on unimproved sources, and 115 million collecting drinking water directly from rivers, lakes, and other surface water sources. Therefore, the increasing demand for clean drinking water is driving the growth of the reverse osmosis membrane market.
