Global Sintered Porous Plastic Filters Market was valued at US$ 141.5 Mn in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 213.6 Mn by 2027. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period. Sintered porous plastic filters are filters that are made using a process in which porous materials are fused, but not to the extent to which it liquefies. These filters are mostly made up of polyethylene or polypropylene.
The market is majorly driven by the growing usage of sintered porous plastic filters in the wastewater treatment industry. Industrial centers across the world are facing water filtration challenges. Sintered porous plastic filter plays a vital role in the water treatment industry as it provides high corrosion and chemical resistance. Moreover, the high percentage of the residential population disposing wastewater to the municipal treatment plants increases the utility of porous plastic filters in the water treatment plants. The materials used in porous plastics can be any thermo-plasticity polymer, generally used are polyethylene or polypropylene which have good chemical compatibility, excellent filtration efficiency of subtle stable particles, and outstanding mobility of liquid and gas. Thus, sintered porous plastic has wide scope in chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, light, food, machinery, petroleum, and other industries.
However, due to the negative environmental impact of plastics, major industries are under pressure to cut the flow of plastic-based rods, filers, and others that are clogging the world's waterways. Moreover, the availability of other material-based porous filters such as porous aluminum will challenge the growth of the sintered porous plastic filter market.
