Filtration Forecast 2013

With the forecast strong for filtration systems and products in 2013, it’s useful to take a look at some of the factors contributing to that continued growth. We’ve talked quite a bit in the past about our work with the vacuum truck industry, and municipalities and town works departments continue to invest in that important technology. This month, however, we’ll take a higher-level look at some global trends in the industry.

Besides vacuum trucks, we do a lot of work in industrial air filtration, which is one of the strongest areas of growth. Much of this growth is taking place in places like China and other East Asian countries, where not only are industrial buildings being built at a rapid pace, but there is increasing oversight of working conditions and safety – a definite need for quality air filtration.

As you’ve probably heard, North American manufacturing also remains strong, and as key indicators continue to thrive, factories in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico will continue to require air filters both for manufacturing purposes and for workers’ health. One area where the need for super-efficient filters is emerging, both domestically and overseas, is the nanotechnology industry. As advances continue to occur there, ULPA and other types of filters will be required to protect engineers and equipment – a high-yield opportunity for filter media manufacturers.
