According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global RO Membrane Support Materials market size was valued at US$ million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ million by 2032 with a CAGR of %during review period.
RO membrane support materials refer to the structural substrates and reinforcement layers used to support thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis membranes, including nonwoven polyester fabrics, PET/PP scrim layers, woven support fabrics, porous substrates and spacer meshes. These materials provide mechanical strength, dimensional stability, porosity and uniformity for the RO membrane fabrication process. In 2024, the global average price is about US$1.45 per square meter, with worldwide demand reaching 4.1 billion m². Gross margins generally range from 18%–33%, depending on material type, porosity precision, coating uniformity and supplier scale. Upstream includes PET/PP resins, fibers and specialty coatings; midstream involves nonwoven production, scrim weaving, lamination, calendering and pore-size control; downstream customers include RO membrane manufacturers for desalination, industrial wastewater treatment, ultrapure water, municipal water treatment and lithium battery recycling.
