Filtration is the procedure of physically, biologically, and mechanically separating particulates from liquids or gases. A filter medium is used to separate the fluid that can flow through from the particles of solid. The targeted result might be the particles of solids that are separated from the fluid or the clear fluid itself. The filter media, the fluid containing suspended particles, a mechanical system that retains the filter medium and allows for the application, and a force to move the fluid via the system, which includes a pressure differential, are the fundamental needs of a filtering system. Syringe filters, bottle-top filter systems, membrane filters, and vacuum filtration systems are examples of lab filters.

The laboratory filtration market is being driven by the burgeoning use of this technology in the food and beverage sector, as well as the development of technologically improved products. The main components of a complete system include a range of assemblies and accessories and the filtration medium. As per P&S Intelligence, the rising frequency of chronic illnesses is driving the demand for filtration in the production of pharmaceuticals. As per the U.S. Congressional Budget Office, the pharma sector of the country spent $83 billion on R&D alone in 2019, thus reflecting the vast demand for filtration systems.

Moreover, there are many filtration equipment providers, such as Cantel Medical Corporation, General Electric Company, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Sartorius AG, Danaher Corporation, 3M Company, and MACHEREY-NAGEL GmbH & Co., that are expanding their presence in APAC. For instance, recently, KG Millistak+ HC Pro, a portfolio of high-capacity, synthetic depth filters for non-treated Chinese hamster ovary harvest clarity and downstream filtration applications, was released by Merck KGaA. In comparison to traditional diatomaceous earth and cellulose-based filtration methods, the Millistak+ HC Pro filter media delivers a cleaner and more-uniform depth filtration procedure.

Hence, the growing pharmaceutical sector, especially in APAC, will drive the demand for the various media, accessories, and assemblies used during filtration in a laboratory.
