Report Summary
Filters are traditionally being used in various industry segments including automotive, agriculture, construction, industrial, diesel locomotive, medical, pharmaceutical and food and beverage processing industries among others. Filters are now increasingly finding their applications in niche industry segments including biotechnology, vaccines, plasma, cell therapy and critical care.
Vehicles are the largest segment for filtration products and it is likely to continue as a major driver of growth for the overall filtration market. This is because of the changes in emission laws that are placing ever increasing demands on filtration systems. Vehicle filters find their applications in on-road vehicles like trucks, buses, automobiles and off-road vehicles like construction equipment, mining equipment and agricultural equipment. On-road and off-road vehicles use filters to clean air for intake and emissions and to clean liquids, such as oil and hydraulic, coolant, and transmission fluids.
Globally, the filtration market has grown at a slow pace, but in the subsequent years, after 2007, the effect of legislation on tightening air emission standards is expected to show results for the filtration market. For reducing harmful emissions, use of effective filtration technologies is involved and so it could drive the revenues of filtration companies like Donaldson and Clarcor.
Further, continued growth is expected for the engine filtration segment also because of the fact that the demand for aftermarket heavy-duty filtration products remains strong due in part to high levels of freight transport to move goods worldwide.
