Summary

US demand for filters to reach $12.4 billion in 2013

Demand for filters in the US is forecast to grow 3.3 percent per year to $12.4 billion in 2013. Advances will be spurred by pending changes in environmental regulations, particularly those involving reduced emissions from power plants and diesel engines, as well as improved operational efficiency of motor vehicle engines. Demand will also be boosted by the increasing interest of manufacturers in reclaiming production inputs from process water and investing in water recycling processes to reduce costs. In addition, advances will be driven by ongoing sales in the aftermarket, which accounts for the vast majority of demand.

However, growth in the aftermarket will be offset to a degree by users' tendency to replace filters less often than recommended by the manufacturers, and the ongoing development of filters featuring longer lasting media or other technologies that extend their useful life. Original equipment filter sales will benefit from a projected rebound in new vehicle production and the increasing penetration of newer filter products, particularly in the motor vehicle and consumer markets.

Air filters will hold best growth prospects

In 2008, internal combustion engine filters (e.g., oil filters, air intake filters, fuel filters, cabin air filters and others) accounted for the largest share of filter shipments in 2008 with 39 percent. Although this is a relatively mature product group, sales will benefit from the ongoing development of new types of emissions filters, particularly for diesel engines, and the rising aftermarket for cabin air filters.

Shipments of fluid filters (e.g., municipal water and waste, fluid power, consumer water and industrial fluid filters) had the second largest share of total shipments with 35 percent. Although they compete with high-end membrane separation technologies, fluid filters will also benefit from their use as pre-treatment steps for these technologies. Shipments of air filters are expected to see the best growth through 2013, stimulated primarily by changes in environmental regulations and advances in the consumer market.

Motor vehicles to remain leading market

The motor vehicle market will continue to account for the largest portion of total demand, with a 27 percent share in 2013, despite below average growth. Advances will be driven by the high volume of these filters sold both as original equipment and in the aftermarket; however, gains are restrained by the price competitive nature of this market. Demand for filters in the utilities market is forecast to see the most rapid gains, powered by current and pending regulations, as well as concerns about the quality of potable water supplies and the air.
