Gas and oil facilities, petrochemicals, and paint sectors, is expected to drive market expansion in the near future at a CAGR of 9.80% during the forecast period 2023 to 2032.

Market Research Future (MRFR) has published a “Global Biofiltration Market”

Market Highlights

The global biofiltration market is accounted to register a CAGR of 9.80% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 5.3 Billion by 2032.

A biofilter is a water or air filtration system that breaks down impurities and pollutants using microorganisms. The microorganisms in the biofilter are typically bacteria or fungi that can metabolize and remove organic chemicals from the air or water, such as nitrogenous compounds or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In industrial settings, such as wastewater treatment facilities, biofilters are frequently employed to filter contaminants out of the air and water before they are released into the environment.  

The market is anticipated to rise as a result of the expanding applications for biofiltration. The expansion is still expected to be promising because biofiltration has a wider range of applications in the wastewater treatment, gas and oil facilities, petrochemicals, and paint sectors.

Regional Analysis

The global Biofiltration market, based on region, has been divided into the North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. North America consists of US and Canada. The Europe Biofiltration market comprises of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and the rest of Europe. The Biofiltration market in Asia-Pacific has been segmented into China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the rest of Asia-Pacific. The Rest of the World Biofiltration market comprises of Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

The largest market share for Biofiltration was maintained by the North American regional sector. North America is the greatest manufacturer of biofilters since it invented the biofiltration method before any other region. The concept of biological filtration-based self-cleaning aquariums continues to drive industry growth.

Moreover, the Europe market has been persistently growing over the forecast period. The primary reasons fueling the growth of the biofilter market in Europe are the expanding usage of cutting-edge technology and tight environmental regulations that promote biofilters in a number of industries. The region's flourishing food and beverage industry significantly increases demand for biofilters and other environmentally friendly water treatment techniques.

Additionally, Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a profitable rate. The market has expanded as a result of the region's prominence as a global fishing market. India, China, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are the region's top producers of aquaculture, according to a report by Sarayu Krishnan Anand that was published in November 2021. 94% of the 18 million people that work in aquaculture globally are from the Asia Pacific region.

Furthermore, the rest of the world's Biofiltration market is divided into the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. In LATEM and MEA, there were some companies offering biofiltration solutions, but the market was still small. One of the major barriers to the adoption of biofiltration was the lack of awareness and understanding of its benefits among businesses and government agencies.
