Segment Leadership: Polymeric & Hollow Fiber Structures Dominate
The industry continues to be shaped by strong preferences for polymeric membranes, which account for 72.1% of global demand. Among these, polyimide membranes (36.0% share) lead due to superior thermal stability, while polysulfone (22.0%) remains preferred for cost-effective hydrogen and nitrogen separation.
Hollow fiber membranes, representing 60.2% market share, dominate due to their high surface-area density, compact modular design, and suitability for large-scale gas separation systems used in refineries, hydrogen recovery units, biogas plants, and petrochemical clusters.
Application Hotspots: CO₂ and Hydrogen Separation Drive Adoption
Global adoption is led by:
CO₂ separation (27.5%) — essential for carbon capture, natural gas sweetening, and biogas upgrading
Hydrogen separation (23%) — propelled by clean fuel production, refinery hydrogen recovery, and green hydrogen programs
Nitrogen (20.8%) and oxygen separation (10.4%) — widely used in food packaging, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and medical oxygen systems
Collectively, nitrogen and oxygen separation represent 31.2% of global membrane applications, with growing demand in distributed onsite gas generation.
