The presence of dust and pollutants, a common concern in today's environment, causes disorders and health problems. An air filter is a device that is embedded with several layers of permeable and fibrous materials that help remove dust particles, pollens, and other material particles from the circulating air. Some air filters such as HEPA and ULPA remove micro-sized particles and toxic and gaseous pollutants that are invisible to the naked eye.
The global air filter market was slightly impacted by the Covid-19, owing to the disruption in the supply chain and limitations in the cross broader transaction. However, the use of air filters is likely to rise in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors in the near future.
The presence of dust is a common concern in today's environment. Presence of dust in the air causes disruptions in the form of health problems to people. An effective air filter is a device that is embedded with several layers of permeable and fibrous materials that aid in the removal of dust particles, pollen, and other material particles from the circulating air. Some air filters remove micro-sized particles that are invisible to the naked eye, such as toxic and gaseous pollutants.
To remove minute particulates, these filters are an important part of the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system used in internal combustion engines. These systems are employed in a variety of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial. Air moving equipment such as fan coils, air handlers, and terminal units all require them.
Dirt that causes fan wheel imbalances and coil obstructions is removed. It is largely necessary for a pleasant and healthy indoor environment, which has a significant impact on the building's and air handling equipment's energy efficiency. The principle is to safeguard people's health by keeping the ventilation system clean and maintaining a high degree of hygiene (IAQ).
The construction of green buildings and the repurposing of these filters are becoming commercial trends. It is accompanied by the rising need for clean indoor air. Manufacturers are actively embracing air-contamination-filtering solutions such as biofiltration and others. This led to strict environmental restrictions as a result of a high awareness of energy savings and the environment.
With the expansion of the automotive sector, there is a growing requirement for these filters to be installed in all vehicles. Trends such as vehicle parks, and filters incorporated in vehicles all influence growth.
Apart from that, significant demand for these filters from the automotive industry is attributed to their advantages in aftermarket services. The filters are primarily used to clean and improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines while protecting vehicle engine components from hazardous dust particles. This filter is designed to strain the air ingested by the engine over a number of strokes.
Air filters are currently composed of cellulose medium, which is an expensive renewable element. Synthetic media, a technological improvement in air filters, is gaining popularity, due to its features such as high performance, low sensitivity to water, and improved airflow. The use of such materials results in enhanced and high fuel efficiency as well as complete combustion of engine fuel. Over the projected period, all of these enhanced qualities of synthetic media are expected to propel the market.
The demand for these filters is increasing, as people become aware of the need of good indoor air quality. One of the key factors hindering the air filter growth of the market is the high maintenance cost of these filters. Filters are highly expensive to replace, costing between USD 40 and USD 60, as they need to be changed and serviced every four to six months.
Furthermore, many commercial and industrial end-users require low-cost air filter equipment, which creates pressure on the working environment in HVAC systems. In addition, a lack of understanding about the harmful consequences of bacterium and virus-contaminated air is anticipated to hinder the air filter market growth in the coming years.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that outdoor air pollution causes 4.2 million deaths each year. As a result of growing industrialization and urbanization, developing countries such as India and China are registering an increase in health-related difficulties caused by air pollution. Hence, there is a growing need for air filters to enhance indoor air quality, which is supporting the market growth.
Several governments are focused on managing air pollution by enacting several of the new rules and standards for indoor air quality, which is expected to propel the market over the forecast period. Moreover, several air pollution control efforts carried out by governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) around the world are anticipated to create immense opportunities for major players.
