Australia Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Market to be Dominated by Municipal Segment Through 2028
Increasing water scarcity and growing demand for water treatment
solutions are driving the membrane bioreactor market across Australia.
According to the
TechSci Research report, “Australia Membrane Bioreactor Market - By Region,
Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2018-2028F,” The increasing demand
for water treatment solutions is the main factor driving the Australia Membrane
Bioreactor market. This can be ascribed to the diminishing freshwater supplies
and the continually rising demand from the residential sector for clean drinking
water devoid of chemicals. Growing environmental concerns about effective
sanitation and wastewater disposal are also boosting industry expansion. The
number of residential, commercial, and industrial complexes that presently use
membrane bioreactor (MBRs) for wastewater treatment has increased
significantly. Another growth-promoting factor is the emergence of buried MBRs.
These systems are portable, lightweight, and economical, in terms of both cost
and energy use and are capable of aerating liquids to create tangential liquid
flow over membranes. The market is also expanding as a result of increased
usage of ecologically friendly water and wastewater management technologies
across several industries, including those in the chemical, pharmaceutical, power,
food and beverage, and textile sectors. Australia's market for membrane
bioreactors is anticipated to expand for a number of reasons, including the
country's rapid industrialization and the adoption of government policies that
encourage the use of MBRs in place of the country's present wastewater
treatment facilities.
One of the worst droughts to
hit Australia in the past 100 years, occurred in 2019. Australia's southern
coast, Western Australia's west coast, Northeastern New South Wales, and the broader
Southeast of Queensland were particularly hard hit by the drought. Conditions
were much drier than in recent years throughout Australia's desert interior and
the majority of the Northern Territory. Government organizations at the federal
and state levels were once more focusing on plans and initiatives to deal with
the challenge. Securing the future water supply is a top long-term goal, even
if drought conditions are expected to dramatically ease in early 2020. The
National Water Grid Fund, a USD 2.5 billion rolling 10-year infrastructure
initiative, was established by the Australian government to finance water
infrastructure upgrades. The government has earmarked cash to support new and
expanded initiatives as part of its 2021–22 budget. For instance, according to
estimates, Australia Government spends USD 6 billion annually on water and
wastewater treatment services. 20% of total spending is made up of direct
capital expenditures and equipment maintenance.
There are 26 million people
living in Australia, and 94% of them have access to main water supply. In
Australia, there are about 300 urban water utilities. Around 70% of the
population is served by the major 22 utilities. Less people are served by the
200 smallest utilities (13% of the population), compared to Sydney Water, the
largest utility in Australia. In addition, more than 700 community sewage
treatment facilities are already accessible to 85% of the population. Around
170 of these are lagoons, 45 are based on primary treatment, and close to half
of them are based on biological filters. The majority of brand-new plants use
activated sludge techniques. Water agencies continue to be the primary
municipal buyers and consumers of goods and services in this industry,
notwithstanding their small number.
Australia Government Water
Infrastructure Initiatives
The National Water Grid
was built with the help of USD 3.5 billion in funding provided by the
Australian government. The Grid intends to boost agricultural productivity,
enhance water availability and security, foster regional prosperity, and
strengthen resistance to climate change.
The National Water Grid Fund
offered funding for water infrastructure up to USD 3.5 billion over a
ten-year period. As of 15th March 2021, USD 1.5 billion have
been spent or allocated to projects. Concessional financing from the USD 5
billion Northern Australia Infrastructure Fund is also available for water
projects.
Recent Crises Have Led to the
Demand for Water Treatment Across the Country.
Recent events, including
drought in eastern Australia, have prompted action to expedite major water
infrastructure investments.
The Water Supply (Critical
Needs) Act 2019 was passed by the New South Wales government in response to the
drought circumstances. The Act designated important infrastructure projects for
the state that needed to be developed quickly across the nation.
In Australia, there are now
59 full-scale MBR applications operating or being built, omitting smaller
"on-site" systems at the scale of individual homes or clusters of
homes and mine sites. They have an average flow rate that ranges from about
0.04 (small systems found in houses or sewer mining applications) to 29 MLD
(mid to big sewage treatment plants) on a daily basis (the Cleveland Bay
Wastewater Treatment Facility, Townsville). 90% of them are municipal
facilities created to primarily treat sewage from homes around the nation.

The Australia Membrane Bioreactor market is divided
into Membrane Type, Configuration, and Application. Based on the membrane type,
the market is divided into the hollow fiber, flat sheet, and multi tubular.
Based on the configuration, the market is divided into Submerged MBR and
External MBR. Based on application, the market is divided into municipal,
commercial, and industrial. Based on region, the market is divided among Western Australia,
Northern Territory & Southern Australia, Queensland, Victoria &
Tasmania, Australia & Capital Territory & New South Wales.
Based on application, the
market is divided into municipal, commercial, and industrial. The municipal segment
is expected to have the largest market share and maintain a significant CAGR
during 2024-2028. Membrane bioreactors were first developed with a focus on
water reuse and recycling for municipal wastewater treatment applications.
Moreover, the application of membrane bioreactor systems for municipal
wastewater reclamation has concentrated on the treatment of two wastewater
sources: main effluent and raw wastewater. The market in emerging nations is
anticipated to increase significantly as a result of expanding urban
populations and infrastructural improvements.
Based on membrane type, the
segment is divided into Hollow Fiber, Flat Sheet, and Multi Tubular. The
multi-tubular segment was the largest and fastest-growing segment, and it is
anticipated that it is expected to continue to have a dominant position
during the projection period. The capability of multi-tubular membranes, whose
modules incorporate a bundle of tubes with a standard-sized cylindrical casing
of 200 mm in diameter, is what propels the segment's expansion. Furthermore,
throughout the projection period 2024-2028, their control, operational
flexibility, and resilience are driving the market expansion.

“The Australia Membrane
Bioreactor market is anticipated to expand steadily between 2024 and 2028,
maintaining a significant CAGR in the forecast period. The primary factor
driving the Membrane Bioreactor market in Australia is the growing need for
water treatment solutions across the country. This can be attributed to the
declining freshwater resources and the increased demand from the residential
sector for chemical-free, pure drinking water. The market for membrane
bioreactors in Australia is expanding as a result of rising environmental
concerns regarding efficient sanitation and wastewater disposal. There are several residential,
commercial, and industrial complexes using MBRs to treat wastewater. In addition, the Queensland Environmental Protection
Agency adopted an operating policy that, starting in 2004, which mandates that
all new Development Approval applications for wastewater treatment plants
include an evaluation of options for water recycling (effluent reclamation and
reuse), to the fullest extent possible (targeting >90% reuse). Therefore,
the market for membrane bioreactor across Australia is expected to rise in the
forecast period 2024-2028.”
