The gas separation membranes market size is expected to reach USD 1,911.34 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Gas Separation Membrane Market Share, Size, & Industry Analysis Report: By Material (Cellulose Acetate, Polysulfone, and Polyimide & Polyaramide), By Module, By Application, and By Region; Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Gas separation membranes are semi-permeable barriers that selectively allow certain gases to pass through while blocking others based on differences in molecular size, solubility, or diffusivity. These membranes are widely used in applications such as nitrogen generation, oxygen enrichment, hydrogen recovery, carbon dioxide removal, and natural gas processing. The market is driven by increasing demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective separation technologies, stringent environmental regulations, and the growing need for clean energy solutions. The shift toward membrane technology over traditional cryogenic distillation and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems is attributed to its lower energy consumption, reduced footprint, and scalability.
