By product, the market for Cartridge Filter is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

During the forecast period, the market for a Cartridge filter is predicted to develop at the fastest rate of XX%. It also held the largest share in 2020. It is especially attributed to the high dirt-holding capacity and long service life of these products, which ultimately helps in reducing labour costs by decreasing the filter change-out frequency.

By Media Type, Activated Carbon is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The Activated Carbon segment of Media Type is predicted to develop at the fastest CAGR During the projection period. It is driven by implementing stringent regulations by regional governments and environmental agencies to control water pollution where Activated Carbon has primary usage. Also, the DE filters segment accounted for the largest share of the global depth filtration market, owing to its wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry. De is formed from the exoskeleton of microscopic algae, which is diatomic. It is used in the biotechnological industry in the initial and subsequent cell clarification. Also, De acts as a filter for microscopic particles and as a soft cake for an unobstructed liquid flow.

North America to account for the largest market share during the forecast period.

North America held the largest share of the Depth Filtration market in 2020, with a global market share of 38.1%. The demand is attributed to many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the region and the presence of a well-established healthcare market. Europe is noted to be the second-largest market for depth filtration due to its well-established health care infrastructure.

The Asia Pacific is set to grow fastest in the forecast period. Factors like high investments in research and development by pharmaceutical companies, especially in China, India, and Japan, are likely to support the growth of this market. Besides, a high amount of outsourcing by Pharma giants and biotechnology companies is likely to boost the growth of the depth filtration market in the Asia Pacific.

Market Dynamics

Driver: Increasing adoption of single-use technologies and focus on developing large molecule biopharmaceuticals is driving the market.

Increasing applications in the health, medical, and food and beverage industries are estimated to drive market growth over the forecast period. Significant benefits, including low cost and ease of use, are expected to drive the growth of the global depth filtration market. Depth filtration services have advantages such as water, food, water filtration, beverages, treatments, medicines, and raw material purification.

In addition, factors such as increased R&D in biotechnology, the need for increased quality of filtration, low-cost filtration, and adaptation to various applications are expected to drive the growth rate of the global depth filtration market. Because of the large molecular size and the production of biologics involved in drug therapies, all biopharmaceutical companies and huge R&D investments are driving the depth filtration market to a higher level of haze removal and other microbial filtration applications downstream processing in biopharmaceutical companies. The companies increasing research and development activities are expected to drive the market in the forecast period. In March 2019, Merck launched the Milli-Q IQ 7000, the seventh generation Milli-Q water purification technology that delivers ultra-pure water to scientists in laboratories.

Challenge: The small capacity of depth filters for high-density collection and the strict regulation of the filtration process with depth filters are limiting the market growth.

The low capacity of depth filters is one of the greatest challenges facing the global depth filtration market. In the case of an application where both large and small particles are present in a liquid, these filters cannot absorb, adsorb, or trap all contaminants at once. It mainly owes to mean porosity, which is different for different applications. Hence, the capacities of filters hold back their market.

The manufacture of the depth filter requires an enormous investment in the equipment of a production facility; it restricts the market for further expansion. These factors are expected to result in decreased demand in the global depth filtration market. The increased waste consumption in disposable filters is another factor that is expected to harm market growth.
