With increasing shortage of freshwater around the world, now technologies related to MBR systems are
being developed to treat industrial and municipal wastewater.
The hollow fiber MBR segment held a major share of the global membrane bioreactor systems market in
2016. Hollow fibers have high packing density because of the small strand diameter. As the strands are
highly flexible, certain filter configuration which cannot be achieved using other treatment systems can be
achieved using hollow fiber MBRs. Flat sheet MBR segment held the second largest share of the global
MBR systems market in 2016.
Municipal wastewater treatment segment held the largest share of the MBR systems market in 2016
owing to their improved capabilities in treating wastewater for large populations and their low footprint.
The market is expected to witness robust growth over the forecast period. According to the WWDR 2017,
high-income countries treat about 70% of their industrial and municipal wastewater on an average. The
trends drop to 38% and 28% from upper middle income and lower middle income countries.
On the basis of configuration, submerged MBRs are anticipated to witness impressive growth over the
forecast period. These MBRs are highly efficient for treatment of polymeric industrial wastewater.
Submerged MBRs are widely used in municipal wastewater treatment processes using low pressure
membrane modules. These membranes consume low energy and allow compactness in design. In side
stream configuration, membrane modules are installed outside the bioreactor. They are commercially used
in industrial applications for high-strength wastewater.

Emerging markets such as China, India and other emerging economies in Asia-Pacific are expected to
dominate the global MBR systems market over the forecast period, due to rising demand for treatment of
municipal wastewater in these countries. With rising population and scarcity of freshwater sources,
wastewater treatment is emerging as one of the primary focuses in governance and administration in these
countries.
The key players in this market emphasize on increasing their presence in the global market through
collaborations such as mergers, acquisitions and agreements. For instance, in March 2017, Suez
Environnement Company along with Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), acquired GE
Water & Process Technologies from General Electric Company in order to strengthen its position in the
global MBR systems market. Some of the key players operating in this market are CITIC Envirotech Ltd,
Koch Membrane Systems Inc., Wehrle Umwelt GmbH, Koch Membrane Systems Inc., Mitsubishi
