A strainer is a type of filter that uses a perforated screen mesh to remove solid waste from the process stream. Strainer filter is a pipe fitting used for filtering, purification, and separation from solid particles by allowing liquids to pass through it. Strainer filters restrict the passage of debris such as rust, scale, weld metal, and others in pipelines. Thus, ensuring the safety of the equipment and the operations from undesired effects that eventually reduce the maintenance and downtime. Usage of specifically selected strainers at appropriate locations is very important to protect equipment such as flow meters, pumps, steam traps, and others. Further, reusability is one of the major advantages of the strainer filter. The filter screen is used once and is replaced when it clogs. Strainer filters have a wide range of applications in industries such as chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, and many others.
COVID-19 Scenario analysis:
- COVID-19 pandemic has shut-down the production of various products in the strainer filter industry, mainly owing to the prolonged lockdown in major global countries. This has hampered the growth of strainer filter market significantly from last few months, as is likely to continue during 2020.
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of equipment and machinery in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to cause a negative impact on the market growth throughout the year.
- The major demand for equipment and machinery was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, and China, which is badly affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting the demand for equipment and machinery.
- Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. Equipment and machinery companies can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players would have to modify their investment plans.
- Equipment and machinery manufacturers must focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond toward immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19 infection cases start to decrease.
Drivers, restraints, and opportunities
The strainer filters have a wide range of applications in manufacturing industries to remove solid particles from the pipelines. The increasing number of process industries such as food and beverage, chemical, and others is one of the major factors that is expected to drive the strainer filter market in the upcoming years. Besides, technological advancements and product up gradations are expected to propel the market growth. However, regular maintenance and replacement of filters can be a major restraining factor for the strainer filter market. Conversely, technological advancements by key players to produce automatic strainer filters that are reusable can provide plenty of growth opportunities for the strainer filter market during the forecast period.
Trends in the strainer filter market
New technologies to flourish the market
Rising competition among market leaders has forced the manufacturers to come up with advanced new technologies in the strainer filter market. One such prominent technology that is being widely adopted lately is the self-cleaning technology for the strainer filter equipment. A self-cleaning strainer is a type of filter that utilizes system pressure to clean itself. For instance, Forsta Filters, a U.S. based strainer filter manufacturing company offers self-cleaning strainers that can remove unwanted solid particles from a water stream in the 5-4000 micron range. The equipment employs system pressure to clean itself. These are also referred to as automatic strainers because, this technology does not require regular maintenance. Such new technologies are expected to potentially fuel the growth of the strainer filter market in the upcoming years.
Increasing adoption of automatic strainers
The increasing adoption of automatic strainers can be considered as one of the significant factors driving the growth of the strainer filter market. During the cleaning and replacement of filters in the case of permanent strainers, the fluid flow is halted. Whereas, automatic strainers ensure a continuous flow of fluids which increases work productivity. This has driven manufacturers to manufacture automatic strainers with self-cleaning mechanisms. For instance, Eaton Filtration, a U.S. based company, offers automatic strainer filters that include mechanical cleaning and tabular backwashing technologies. Hence, increase in adoption of automatic strainers is expected to boost the growth of the global strainer filter market.
