(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Dublin, Jan. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Biofilter market by Type, by Filter Media, by Application, by End-User, and By Region" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global biofilter market is estimated to be USD 2.46 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 6.86 billion by 2035, with a CAGR of 9.77% during the forecast period 2025-2035 The market will grow due to several factors, including growing environmental concerns and regulations, rising demand for clean air and water, growth in wastewater treatment and aquaculture, advancements in biofiltration technology, and growing use in emerging markets.
Innovations in biofiltration systems - encompassing improvements in design, materials, and microbial technologies - are significantly enhancing the efficiency and appeal of biofilters. Advanced technologies, such as the integration of biofilters with digital monitoring systems, enable industries to achieve better control and optimization of air and water quality, thereby increasing the adoption of biofiltration solutions.
In October 2024, Veolia Water Technology entered a partnership with the University Area Joint Authority in State College, Pennsylvania, to implement its first biological hydrolysis system in North America. This collaboration aims to improve decarbonized energy production in the region, supporting initiatives to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable energy solutions.
North American region is anticipated to have the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the presence of stringent environmental regulations, well-established industrial and municipal infrastructure, and high demand for advanced biofiltration systems in sectors such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater treatment.
Additionally, the Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rapid industrialization, urbanization, and increasing awareness of environmental sustainability in emerging economies, which drive the demand for biofilters in air and water treatment applications. For instance, Ahlstrom began manufacturing calendared, fresh, and embossed synthetic filter media in South Korea in September 2023. Because of their larger accessible surface area and longer filter lifetime, the materials produce less flow restriction. Applications for these materials include air intake, fuel, water, and oil filtering, as well as air pollution control.
By type, the activated carbon biofilter segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global biofilter market in 2024 owing to the widespread use of activated carbon filters in industrial and municipal applications for effectively capturing and removing contaminants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odors. For instance, Veolia Water Technologies established a new Life Science center of excellence in Dublin, Ireland, in October 2024.
The goal of this center is to promote water treatment innovation, training, and expansion in sectors outside of Europe's pharmaceutical, scientific, and healthcare sectors. Additionally, the biological aerated filter (BAFs) segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising adoption of BAFs in wastewater treatment, particularly in emerging economies, for their efficiency in removing organic pollutants and enhancing water quality through aerobic microbial processes.
By filter media, the ceramic ring segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global biofilter market in 2024 owing to the high durability, large surface area, and effectiveness of ceramic rings in supporting beneficial microbial growth for effective contaminant removal. For instance, Waterloo Biofilter Systems Inc. announced in July 2024 that it had acquired RH20, Inc., a specialist in innovative moving bed biofilm reactor technology. Waterloo increased the range of technologies it offered with this breakthrough. Additionally, the bio balls segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its cost-effectiveness, high surface area for microbial colonization, and popularity in small-scale and aquaculture applications.
By application, the volatile organic compounds (VOC) treatment segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global biofilter market in 2024 owing to the increased regulatory pressure on industries to reduce VOC emissions and the biofilters' effective performance in controlling VOC emissions across sectors like petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing.
For instance, Nofima and UiT established a new advanced research center in Tromso in January 2023, which helps the aquaculture industry better understand onshore fish farming and gives youth training opportunities and jobs in rural regions. Additionally, the odor abatement segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its expanding use in municipal and industrial facilities to control odor emissions in response to community and environmental regulations.
By end-user, the aquaculture segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global biofilter market in 2024 owing to the critical role of biofilters in maintaining water quality and removing toxic ammonia levels, which are essential for healthy fish populations. For instance, in July 2024, advanced moving bed biofilm reactor technology (MBBR) expert RH2O Inc. will be acquired by Waterloo Biofilter Systems Inc., a major pioneer in on-site wastewater treatment, subject to standard closing conditions.
Through this investment, Waterloo Biofilter's total technological capabilities and market position as a reliable supplier of wastewater treatment solutions are strengthened. Going forward, current RH2O clients will be serviced by Waterloo Biofilter, which is currently among the biggest maintenance suppliers in the nation. Additionally, the water & wastewater collection segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing investment in wastewater treatment infrastructure to meet environmental standards and address water scarcity issues worldwide.
