South America Air Treatment Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Type and Application

The air treatment market in South America is expected to grow from US$ 314.29 million in 2021 to US$344.49 million by 2028; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 1.3% from 2021 to 2028.

P articulate matter, or microscale airborne contaminants, has been identified as a significant risk factor causing premature death. The toxicological effects associated with the direct inhalation of PM are a well-known cause of PM-related adverse health effects. The matter is made up of a variety of hazardous chemicals, including metals, nitrates, and sulfates, all of which are poisonous to body cells and can cause cell death or organ failure in the long run. Furthermore, particles with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) can easily enter the circulatory system. Several air treatment product manufacturing companies emphasize introducing innovative products enabled with various technologies to eliminate hazardous air pollutants. Advanced air filtration strategies are anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market players in the air treatment market. Germicidal UV-C wavelengths are effective at killing pathogens by destroying the outer protein layer of the pathogen, rendering it inactive. UV-C systems are employed in hospitals and industrial processes to disinfect equipment and products. Further, innovation and upgrade of HVAC systems, chiller/boiler plants, and other air filtration systems in various end-use verticals are anticipated to propel the growth of the air treatment market. The latest advances in air filtration technology are based on new filter design and media technology developments that enable plant managers to decrease their operating costs while complying with the highest quality standards to boost their performance. Innovations such as Capaceon, NANOWEB, NanoWave, Synteq XP, PowerCore, and Ultra-Web technologies are propelling the market growth in industrial applications. Increasing requirements for filtration efficiencies and growing pressure to meet more environmental demands are paving the way for further developments in the air treatment market.

With new features and technologies, vendors attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the South America air treatment market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
