Report Overview
The global reverse osmosis membrane market size was valued at USD 4.19 Billion in 2025. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.00% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 10.87 Billion by 2035. A major factor fueling the market growth is the ongoing focus of top membrane producers on strategic capacity expansion combined with the adoption of smart manufacturing.
As desalination, industrial processing, and water reuse projects grow in scale and complexity, suppliers are focusing on higher output volumes while maintaining membrane quality and cost efficiency. In response to this, manufacturers are going all out with their production expansions that are digitally enabled to yield optimally, reduce defects, and shorten delivery times.
This trend in the reverse osmosis membrane market is clearly exemplified by LG Chem's announcement in September 2023 to invest KRW 124.6 billion in the expansion of its Cheongju RO membrane manufacturing plant, with the new capacity expected to be operational from July 2025. The expansion is a smart factory designed to incorporate AI-based anomaly detection, automated quality inspection, and digital productivity management to factory precision and scalability improvements. Such investments reveal how scale-driven growth, with the support of advanced manufacturing technologies, is becoming a major factor boosting the reverse osmosis membrane market’s competitive landscape.
