Summary

Food and beverage processing is one of the largest manufacturing sectors in the U.S., accounting for more than 10% of all manufacturing shipments. The industry also has considerable presence in the global economy, with more than one-third of the top 50 food and beverage industry processors located in the U.S. Leading processors include Archer Daniels Midland, Kraft Foods, Cargill, Pepsico, Tyson Foods, Coca-Cola, Mars, ConAgra, Anheuser Busch, and General Mills. These compete with major overseas companies, including Nestle (Switzerland), Unilever (U.K.), Groupe Danone (France), Diageo (U.K.), Kirin Brewery (Japan), SABMiller (South Africa), Cadbury Schweppes (U.K.), Heineken (Netherlands) and Asahi Brewery (Japan).

Separation science is essential to manufacturing food and beverage products. Evaporation, centrifugation, media filtration, distillation, and solvent extraction are just a few of the traditional processes used in solid/liquid and liquid/liquid separations needed in the sector. Since their debut in the food industry about 30 years ago, membranes have found both large-volume and niche applications across a range of food and beverage industries, including fluid milk, cheese, and other dairy products; grain and oilseed products; beer, wine, and soft drinks; frozen, canned, preserved, and juiced fruit and vegetables; sugar and other sweeteners; meat, poultry, and seafood products; and various miscellaneous foods and food additives.

Study Goals And Objectives

This study has been compiled to review the state of the art of membrane technology as applied to food and beverage processing, offer a valuation of the current market, and provide estimates of future growth for a market that has developed rapidly, but which also is becoming more fragmented.

The report will examine the crossflow membrane technologies: reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF), and microfiltration (MF), as well as dead-end UF/MF filtration. The smaller markets relating to ion-exchange membranes and membrane contactors also will be evaluated.

The market for membrane applications in process water and process fluids, wastewater treatment and water reuse, product recovery, and cleaner recycling will be considered. Membrane gas separations as needed in food and beverage manufacture will not be covered.

Report Highlights

Worth an estimated market value of $185 million in 2006, membrane sales to food and beverage processors is forecast to rise at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of about 4.6% during the next 5 years, reaching $230 million
Wastewater treatment will continue to be the primary pollution prevention focus for food and beverage processors. But, another industry trend for minimizing waste and improving the bottom line is converting food byproducts to value-added products. Many conversion activities offer opportunities for membranes: transforming salts in waste to useful acids and bases, recovering blood proteins from slaughterhouse wastes, or fermentating corn starch to ethanol, corn oil and other corn co-products.
Competitive technologies in food and beverage processing include a variety of media filters and other separation and purification methods including centrifugation, adsorption, evaporation, distillation, pasteurization and ion exchange
