SCOPE OF REPORT

This report presents the forecast for ultrafiltration membrane technologies for 2016 through 2021 on a volume and value basis. Value is measured in millions of U.S. dollars, unadjusted for inflation, while volume is measure in thousand square feet area units. These forecasts are further broken down by end applications. Individual end-applications are further broken down by membrane material and by geographical region. Estimated values used are based on manufacturers' revenues.

The end-user application breakdown includes:

• Hemodialysis.
• Industrial processes.
• Food and beverage.
• Potable water.
• Biopharmaceuticals.
• Wastewater.

The report covers the following membrane material:

• Ceramic and others.
• Polymers.

The regional breakdown focuses on the following geographical areas:

• North America.
• Europe.
• Asia-Pacific (APAC).
• Rest of the world (RoW).
