Boston, Sept. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — According to the latest study from BCC Research, “Membrane Bioreactors: Global Markets” is projected to grow from $4.4 billion in 2025 to $9.4 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1% from 2025 to 2030.

The report presents a detailed analysis of the global membrane bioreactor (MBR) market, highlighting trends and developments across various market segments. It segments the market based on microbial processes (aerobic and anaerobic), membrane types (hollow fiber, flat sheet, and other tubular), configurations (submerged and external), membrane materials (polymeric and ceramic), and end users (municipal, industrial, and others). Examining revenue in U.S. dollars, the report offers insights into the performance and growth potential of each segment, helping stakeholders identify opportunities and make informed decisions in the evolving MBR landscape.

This report is highly relevant today due to the growing need for sustainable and efficient wastewater treatment technologies. With stricter regulations on effluent discharge, industries and municipalities are turning to MBRs as a reliable solution that meets environmental standards while improving treatment performance.

The factors driving the market’s growth include:

Water Scarcity: With growing populations and climate change, many regions face water shortages. MBRs help by treating wastewater for reuse, reducing pressure on freshwater sources.

Water Quality Issues: Polluted water from industries and agriculture demands better treatment. MBRs offer high-quality filtration, removing harmful contaminants and ensuring safe water output.

Decline in Freshwater Resources: Natural freshwater sources are shrinking due to overuse and pollution. MBRs support water recycling, helping communities rely less on rivers and groundwater.

Stringent Effluent Discharge Standards: Governments are enforcing stricter rules on wastewater discharge. MBRs meet these standards efficiently, making them ideal for compliance in the municipal and industrial sectors.

Focus on Sustainability: MBRs align with global sustainability goals by enabling water reuse, reducing waste, and lowering environmental impact compared to traditional systems.

Demand for Decentralized Treatment: Remote areas and expanding cities need local wastewater solutions. MBRs are compact and scalable, making them ideal for decentralized treatment setups.
