AUTOMATIC FILTER PRESS MACHINE MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW
The Global Automatic Filter Press Machine Market Size was estimated at USD 1836.49 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 2705.77 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.40% during the forecast period.
An automatic filter press is a machine used to dewater sludge and wastewater and filter other waste liquids in different industries. It works on the principle of pressure filtration where a slurry is pumped into the press and the solid and liquids get separated on application of pressure and a dry filter cake is produced. Filter press machines can be used for wastewater treatment, chemical manufacturing, mining, food and beverage and pharmaceuticals.
COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Restrained By Pandemic Due To Supply Chain Disruptions and Trade and Transport Restrictions
The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. However the market still experienced a decline in market growth reflected by the fall in CAGR is attributable to the increasing need for health-promoting products.
The sudden and indefinite lockdown along with rise in demand for pharmaceuticals led to an increasing need for filter press machines worldwide. However simultaneously supply chains across the world were disrupted which along with the trade and transport restrictions imposed slowed down market growth significantly.
LATEST TRENDS
Increase in mining activities in developing economies boosts market size
Mining activities have increased in developing economies such as India, South Africa and Brazil due to higher economic growth and GDP as compared to developed economies. The rising commodity demand, liberalisation in mineral policies, technological advances- automation and digitalization of machines and privatisation have also promoted rise in mining activities and thereby an increase in Automatic Filter Press Machine Market Size which is used as a dewatering device for high solid filtration applications.
AUTOMATIC FILTER PRESS MACHINE MARKET SEGMENTATION
By Type
- Plate and Frame Filter Press Machine: Surface Filtration Mechanism is used here and it can process large volumes of sludge at once as it has multiple plates and frames to increase its surface area
- Recessed Plate Filter Press Machine: Filter plates form a series of cavities between them and suspended particles cling onto the filter cloths and build up inside the cavities to form a filter cake
- Membrane Filter Press Machine: Chambers are present between the plates to squeeze out excess water from the slurry
By Application
- Chemicals: Filter press machines are used for chemical processing and purification of fine chemicals
- Wastewater Treatment:Filter press machines are used to separate slurry from water fit to be disposed
- Quarries and Mines: Here these machines are used to dewater slurry and recover valuable minerals
- Pharmaceuticals: Here these machines are used for pharmaceutical formulations and purification
DRIVING FACTORS
Stringent environmental regulations and high demand from mining industry boost market growth
Stringent environmental regulation and wastewater treatment standards and emphasis on recycling water imposed due to rising environmental consciousness have led to a rise in Automatic Filter Press Machine Market Growth
