The increasing applications for biofiltration are expected to drive the growth of the market.Since, biofiltration has a wider application in wastewater treatment, gas and oil plants, petrochemicals, and paint industries, the growth remains promising. Some examples of biofiltration are seaweeds, which filter pollutants released from the gills of fish and other aquaculture animals. According to research on horticulture from Penn State University, plant roots combined with limestone and soil can be used to create a biofilter to filter wastewater. Bacteria present in plant roots can eliminate pollutants and convert wastewater into a usable resource.
The increasing initiatives and funding programs by universities to accelerate research in biofiltration are expected to support market growth. For instance, in December 2022, Hawai’i Pacific University received USD 188,000 grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The funding is to assist in the scientific assessment of the biofiltration capacity of the limu, and its growth rate.
Similarly, in December 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy awarded USD 280,861 to North Carolina agricultural and technical state university for developing a system for biofiltration-microalgae symbiotic and microalgae-based biochar-hydrogel-iron composite. The system and composite are to enhance microalgal production in wastewater.
Furthermore, the regulatory bodies in developed countries are undertaking stringent actions to implement biofiltration systems for improving water quality. For instance, in November 2022, the New York state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) penalized the New England Waste Services of NY, Inc., Ontario Count, and Casella Waste Services of Ontario, LLC, for violating various environmental laws. The operators and facility owners are expected to pay USD 500,000 as a penalty. Around USD 250,000 will be invested by the authorities in setting up a biofiltration system in the Marsh Creek wastewater treatment plant.
Moreover, players in the market are constantly developing novel technologies to support biofiltration systems. At the Tekna aquaculture conference that was held in November 2022, NaturalShrimp, Inc. presented hydrogas and electrocoagulation technologies for the aquaculture industry. The technologies enable a system for zero liquid discharge without requiring water exchange to extract unnecessary nitrate buildup while using traditional methods of biofiltration. The development of novel technologies remains an integral part of the growth strategy in the industry.
Regional Insights
North America accounted for the largest share of the biofiltration industry in 2022, with 41.1%, owing to the presence of major companies, extensive government funding, and an increase in research activities in the region. North America is the leading manufacturer of biofilters as the early implementation of biofiltration technique compared to other regions. The concept of self-cleaning aquariums with the application of biofiltration continues to boost the market growth.
Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a lucrative rate during the forecasted period. Since the region is considered to be a major fishery market globally, contributing to the growth of the market. Globally, aquaculture employment size is 18 million people, out of those, 94% come from the Asia Pacific region.
