Bag Filter Market Share, Size and Growth Analysis By 2029

The bag filter market is projected to expand from US$ 5,218.33 million in 2022 to US$ 6,841.67 million by 2028, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% during this period.

The global bag filter market is divided into several regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. In North America, the market is expected to experience robust growth, driven by stringent environmental regulations and safety standards. The United States and Canada are among the countries with the highest levels of particulate pollution, resulting in strict penalties and emission limits for industries such as cement and power generation. Companies like Micronics Engineered Filtration Group provide high-quality filter bag solutions across various sectors, including abrasive handling, chemicals, food and beverages, metals, power, powder coating, sandblasting, textiles, paper, pulp, woodworking, and more.

The manufacturing sector plays a vital role in the European Union's economy, employing 33 million individuals and contributing 15% to the GDP. This sector is a significant driver of productivity, with nearly two-thirds of productivity gains attributed to manufacturing. Donaldson Torit LP has introduced an advanced baghouse dust collector that utilizes a reverse air design, enhancing filter cleaning efficiency, minimizing downtime, and reducing maintenance expenses.

Since the easing of lockdown measures in September 2020, the manufacturing industry in Asia Pacific (APAC) has shown signs of recovery, despite the emergence of new COVID-19 variants in some areas. The demand for bag filters, particularly in the cement sector, is expected to rise in developing nations like China and India. In the Middle East and Africa (MEA) and South America (SAM), the bag filter market is anticipated to grow during the forecast period, primarily due to the increasing use of dust collectors in the mining sector to ensure compliance with emission regulations.

Vendors in the bag filter market regard North America as a critical region due to the substantial presence of key industries that rely on bag filters, including food and beverages, chemical processing, and pharmaceuticals. As of December 2021, the United States had approximately 36,486 food and beverage processing facilities operated by around 31,401 companies, while Canada had 2,180 food manufacturing plants. Furthermore, North America is characterized by stringent and evolving regulations aimed at reducing air pollution. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees many air quality control laws, including the Clean Air Act, CSAPR, CAIR, MATS, MACT, and NESHAPS. The government also encourages sustainable development, creating opportunities for bag filter suppliers in the region. Companies in North America are heavily investing in research and development to enhance productivity and improve user experience. For instance, Parker Hannifin established a customer experience center and an industrial filter testing laboratory in the US in February 2018 to assess the performance of pulse-cleaned filters according to ANSI/ASHRAE 199-2016 standards.

In Europe, the chemical processing industry is a major consumer of bag filters. The European Union aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, positioning this industry at the forefront of the continent's manufacturing landscape and contributing to this goal. The sector is also focused on maintaining its competitiveness while undergoing a dual transformation towards sustainability and digitalization, striving to become circular, climate-neutral, and digitally advanced, all while navigating the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS). These industrial shifts across various regions are expected to create numerous opportunities for bag filter manufacturers.

The bag filter market is categorized into three primary segments: filter type, end-use industry, and geography. The filter type segment includes shakers, reverse air filters, and pulse jets. The end-use industry segment encompasses chemical processing, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, pulp & paper, water treatment, and other sectors. Geographically, the market is divided into North America (including the US, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (including the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), APAC (including China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and the Rest of APAC), MEA (including South Africa and the Rest of MEA), and SAM (including Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of SAM).
