The air purification equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $98.79 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors such as sustainability and green initiatives, the impact of climate change and natural disasters, a rising demand for smart homes, an aging population, and increasing interest in air quality monitoring. Notable trends in this forecast period include technological advancements, the proliferation of smart and connected devices, the use of HEPA and advanced filtration methods, customization and personalization options, as well as the popularity of portable and compact air purification equipment designs.

The increasing health problems caused by air pollution are expected to drive the demand for air purification equipment. This heightened concern is due to the rising number of deaths and illnesses resulting from air pollution, prompting a greater need for air purification devices that can effectively remove harmful pollutants from the air. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is a significant contributor to global mortality and various diseases. It leads to approximately 4.2 million deaths annually worldwide, primarily attributed to heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, acute respiratory infections, and stroke. In the United States, there are approximately 200,000 premature deaths each year due to air pollution. Furthermore, air pollution is responsible for 29% of lung cancer cases, 43% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cases, 17% of acute lower respiratory infections, and 24% of stroke cases globally. The worsening air quality is expected to increase the demand for air purification equipment in the forecast period.

The primary product categories for air purification equipment include stand-alone units and in-duct systems. In-duct air purifiers are directly integrated into the ventilation ducts, either preceding or following the air handler in residences equipped with central HVAC systems. These devices utilize a range of technologies, such as HEPA filters, electrostatic precipitators, activated carbon, ionic filters, and other advanced technologies. The various user segments for this equipment encompass residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

The growing trend of home remodeling and renovations is expected to boost the air purification equipment market. Home remodeling and renovations involve making alterations and improvements to residential properties, both internally and externally, to enhance their functionality, aesthetics, and overall value. Increasingly, individuals are incorporating air purification equipment into their home renovation projects to improve indoor air quality and remove contaminants. This is achieved through the installation of air purifiers, filtration systems, or related devices during the renovation process. For example, in January 2023, the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University reported that national spending on remodeling and repairs for owner-occupied homes is projected to reach $485 billion in 2023, representing a 2.6% increase from the previous year, 2022. This growth trend highlights the rising preference for home remodeling and renovations, which is expected to drive the air purification equipment market in the coming years..

The air purification equipment market faces challenges due to certain risks and high maintenance costs associated with these systems. While air purification equipment is effective at removing dust, it may not always effectively address unpleasant odors. Additionally, some air purification systems emit excess ions into the air, leading to ozone emissions, which can be harmful to the environment. Furthermore, the need for regular maintenance, including the replacement of disposable or replaceable filters that can cost between $20 and $200, represents a significant cost factor. These drawbacks linked to the use of air purification systems are anticipated to hinder the growth of the air purification equipment market in the forecasted period.
