New York, United States, Feb. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Molecular sieves are artificial zeolites engineered to have uniformly sized and structured pores. Molecular sieves differ from other kinds of filters in that they can selectively adsorb gases and liquids based on the size and polarity of the molecules. The molecular sieve's crystalline structure is more effective than silica gel and alumina. Other distinguishing features of molecular sieves include high adsorption, effective adsorption even at high temperatures and low relative humidity, and no desorption phenomenon.

Exceptional Performance Qualities Drive the Global Market
According to Straits Research, “The global molecular sieves market size was valued at USD 2,334.32 million in 2022. It is expected to reach USD 3,553.51 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.78% during the forecast period (2023–2031).” Molecular sieves are synthetically produced porous crystalline aluminosilicates with a strong affinity for particular-sized molecules. The molecular sieve sets itself apart from other media thanks to the uniformity of its pore-size openings. In addition, the manufacturing process can affect the size of the pores in molecular sieve particles. This distinguishing feature enables the use of a molecular sieve product that can absorb water vapor but exclude other molecules, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which may or may not be present in the package. The selective adsorption capabilities of molecular sieves can dry a package or environment while leaving behind other advantageous compounds. At temperatures well above 225°C, the molecular sieve can occasionally capture water vapor. Due to its incredibly high moisture absorption capabilities, it can remove water molecules that have become trapped in a silica gel bead that is completely saturated (which shows desorption characteristics unlike molecular sieve).
Growth Opportunities in the Pharmacy Industry Creates Tremendous Opportunities
Molecular sieves are a necessary component of the process chain used to create pharmaceuticals. By shielding the drugs from moisture, they help to increase their shelf life. Pharmaceutical products like effervescent, lozenges, and tablets are packaged in canisters and packets using a molecular sieve. Nutraceuticals like dietary supplements, immune boosters, and sports supplements must be stored properly to prevent product deterioration from discoloration, odors, and moisture contamination. In addition, significant applications for molecular sieves include ELISA kits, urinalysis strips, comminuted sheet material for diapers, sanitary napkins, adult incontinence products, and various in-vitro and clinical diagnostic tools. The pharmaceutical industry has become one of those with the fastest growth rates in revenue and business.
Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific molecular sieves market share is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.64% during the forecast period. More than 30% of market revenue was generated in the Asia-Pacific region in 2022.
