FARMINGTON, Conn., April 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Global Information Inc. is pleased to announce three significant new green environment market research reports which detail forecasts for the global and US Membrane, Filter, and Smart Water Grid markets through the decade.

Membrane Separation Technologies to 2016

Demand for membranes in the US is forecast to increase 7.1 percent per year to reach $5.4 billion in 2016 according to new Membrane Separation Technologies market research from The Freedonia Group. Advances will be supported primarily by the continued adoption of environmental regulations that require purity levels that are best achieved with membrane separation technologies. Additionally, ongoing interest in minimizing waste and recycling or reusing input fluids will stimulate gains in membrane demand, especially in the industrial market. Water recycling is also being embraced by many municipalities in water-stressed regions where the cost of obtaining potable water is high. Further contributing to growing membrane demand is the increasing penetration of membranes into the water and wastewater treatment, and food and beverage processing markets.

This study presents historical demand data (2001, 2006, 2011) plus forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by product, application and market, and also considers market environment factors and evaluates company market share and profiles 38 competitors in the US industry.

World Filters to 2015

The Freedonia Group forecasts global demand for filters to increase a healthy 7.6 percent annually to $65.9 billion in 2015 in their new World Filters market research report. This growth rate is an acceleration from the gains of the 2005-2010 period, reflecting in part the reduced 2010 bases of the developed countries. While the global recession of 2009 restrained manufacturing activity and capital investments, economic recovery in several key markets through 2015 will boost gains.

Filter sales in the manufacturing market will grow fastest through 2015, benefiting from an improvement in manufacturing activity. The utilities market for filters, which will post the next fastest gains, will be stimulated by rising global demand for water and electric utility services, leading to the construction of numerous new power plants, water and wastewater treatment facilities, and waste incinerators. However, transportation equipment will remain the biggest single market for filters in 2015, benefiting from an acceleration in the overall number of motor vehicles and motorcycles in use, as well as from an improvement in transportation equipment production. Sales to the much smaller consumer market will be fueled by concerns about the quality of indoor air and drinking water supplies, as well as rising per capita incomes, helping make filters more affordable.

CEO 360: Global Smart Water Grid Market

In their new CEO 360: Global Smart Water Grid Market research report Frost & Sullivan note that water utilities plagued by high costs and inefficiencies of the existing infrastructure stand to benefit from the deployment of smart grid technologies.

Financial savings and carbon footprint reduction priorities are driving water utilities to optimize operations and management through the deployment of advanced ICT and analytical software, associated hardware, automation and control, and design and engineering services. While strong growth will be seen globally, developing regions are expected to provide higher growth opportunities, as investment levels begin to balance geographically.

This research analyzes the global trends, provides revenue forecast (2007-2020) and discusses key and emerging technology trends and evolving business models.
