The global wedge wire screen market size is USD 783.2 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 1086.16 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period.

Wedge wire screens are the most widely used screens for filtration and separation in liquids and gases, water waste, mining, food, and other industries. It's a sieve made of looped wires bent into a deep wedge shape. Individual wedge wires are constructed in panels by threading a cross rod of appropriate diameter through the loops. The entire assembly is then clamped and secured, typically by riveting or putting ring nuts over the cross rod ends, or by welding. This type of screen's characteristics makes it an appealing solution for separating solids from liquids, retaining media, filtering, sizing, dewatering, collecting, and distributing.

Wedge wire screens are metal mesh elements that are widely used in sieving and filtration operations such as screening, filtration, dehydration, and desliming. It has high strength, rigidity, and load-carrying capacity and can be formed into a variety of rigid screening filter shapes. Surface profiles and support profiles are included. Support profiles are wrapped and welded onto support profiles, which are typically v-shaped wires. The distance between the surface profiles is precisely controlled because it creates the slot through which the filtrate flows. The position of the V-shaped wires in relation to the support profiles determines the flow direction. Flow-out-to-in or flow-in-to-out wedge wire screens are available.

COVID-19 Impact: Slow Production to a Decline in the Market Growth.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the wedge wire screen market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic was one of humanity's most serious setbacks in recent history. When a tiny virus brought the world to a halt for nearly two years, it affected every aspect of life. The global economy was in free fall as a result of the lockdown. Raw material shortages occurred as a result of transportation issues caused by pandemic control regulations. When import and export became difficult, it had a direct impact on production. COVID-19 had a wide-ranging impact on the industry's growth. Overall, the pandemic's combined effects slowed the growth of the wedge wire screen market.

LATEST TRENDS

"Various Connecting Methods Lead a Rise in Market Demand."

When compared to other screens, a wedge wire screen has a larger circulation area. The tiny gaps between wedge wires form a smooth wedge-shaped cross section, ensuring no dead ends, excellent block resistance, and ease of backwashing. It has high mechanical strength and can withstand pressure drops up to a certain level. For various applications, the wedge wire screen cylinder has various connection methods such as flange connection, thread connection, and welding connection. The user selects a connection method for their product based on demand. The trend in the wede wire screen market has been to select a variety of connections.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Ability to Handle High Pressure Leads to Increase the Product Demand"

Its uniform filter slots and high precision ensure effective filter medium retention. It adapts to various fluid directions with high strength, large flow, and high pressure resistance. It maintains consistent filtration accuracy and can be reused repeatedly while remaining reliable. This product's main advantage is its ability to withstand high pressure. This feature of the product makes it more popular in the industry, and it is also the primary reason for the wedge wire screen market growth during the forecast period.

"Increase in Demand from End-User Sectors Leads to Upsurge in Product Demand"

Wedge wire screens are most commonly found in the chemical, mining, gas and oil, and paper industries. It has a larger drainage area, resulting in a better flow of water, and is relatively strong and durable. They are typically made of stainless steel and are primarily used in end-use sectors for separation, filtration, and retention of media. Furthermore, because of reduced frictional head losses and increased discharge, the pump load requires less power to pump the same amount of water. As a result, the growth of the wedge wire screen market has a significant impact on all of these industries.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Narrow Design of Conventional Wedges Hinder the Market Growth"

This segment includes a few challenges in addition to several functionalities in end-use industries. These filtration tools and equipment, for example, are dependent on other market segments such as mineral filtration, petrochemicals, and the food and beverage industry, so any shortcomings or downfall in these markets have an impact on global sales. Furthermore, the narrow designs of conventional wedges result in a rapidly increasing pressure drop over the screen basket and a corresponding increase in pumping energy required to compensate for the screening capacity restriction. These factors are expected to impede global market sales during the forecast period.
