The market is segmented on the basis of product, configuration, and application.

• By Product

On the basis of product, the membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems market is segmented into Hollow Fiber, Flat Sheet, and Multi-Tubular. The Hollow Fiber segment dominated the Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Systems market with the largest market revenue share of 57.3% in 2024, driven by its compact design, high packing density, and lower operational costs. Hollow fiber membranes are widely preferred for municipal and industrial applications due to their efficient filtration performance and ease of maintenance. Their ability to handle high mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentrations makes them a cost-effective and space-saving solution for large-scale wastewater treatment facilities.

The Flat Sheet segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate of 20.5% from 2025 to 2032, fueled by its superior mechanical strength, simple installation, and high fouling resistance. Flat sheet membranes are increasingly adopted in industrial wastewater treatment due to their robustness and suitability for treating complex effluents. The segment’s growth is further supported by rising investments in decentralized treatment plants and compact modular systems.

• By Configuration

On the basis of configuration, the membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems market is segmented into Submerged and Side Stream. The Submerged segment held the largest market revenue share of 68.9% in 2024, driven by its lower energy consumption, smaller footprint, and cost-effective operation. Submerged MBR systems are extensively used in municipal wastewater treatment due to their simplicity, reduced sludge production, and easy scalability.

The Side Stream segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2032, owing to its higher membrane flux, enhanced cleaning capabilities, and suitability for high-strength industrial wastewater. Side stream configurations offer flexible operation and are gaining traction in industries requiring high recovery rates and stringent discharge standards.

• By Application

On the basis of application, the membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems market is segmented into Municipal Wastewater Treatment and Industrial Wastewater Treatment. The Municipal Wastewater Treatment segment accounted for the largest market revenue share of 71.4% in 2024, driven by increasing urbanization, tightening water quality regulations, and the growing need for water reuse. Municipalities worldwide are increasingly adopting MBR systems to meet strict effluent standards while optimizing land use and reducing environmental impact.

The Industrial Wastewater Treatment segment is projected to witness the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2032, fueled by rising industrialization, stringent discharge regulations, and the growing demand for sustainable water management solutions. Industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and chemicals are increasingly implementing MBR systems to achieve high-quality effluent and support zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) initiatives.
