Intake Filter Media Global Market Report 2024

Intake filter media refers to a combination of air filters designed to prevent the infiltration of dust and tiny particles in automotive and aerospace engines, as well as machinery used in healthcare applications. This media is employed to capture and eliminate atmospheric dust, particulate matter, airborne particles, and hazardous pollutants from the air, both in surface environments and within the engines, particularly in the automotive and aerospace industries.

The primary types of intake filter media are cellulose and synthetic. Cellulose media is utilized to enhance the filtering system, thereby improving the performance of the filter media. Cellulose involves the use of cellulose material as a filter in the air to prevent the penetration of dust. Various vehicle types benefiting from intake filter media include passenger cars, commercial vehicles, construction equipment, marine vessels, and others. The distribution channels for intake filter media include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket, with applications spanning across automotive, aerospace, marine, and other industries.

The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the electrification of vehicles, stricter emission standards, improved engine efficiency, enhanced air quality monitoring, and the trend of engine downsizing and turbocharging. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of nanofiber technology, the use of multi-layered filtration media, the incorporation of eco-friendly and sustainable materials, customization for performance vehicles, and the integration of digitalization and connectivity in intake filter media.

The growth of the intake filter media market is expected to be propelled by the increasing demand from the automotive industry. Clean air is essential for engines to achieve better combustion and lower emissions. The automotive industry is witnessing a rising demand for air filters with advanced intake filter media, as it ensures that engines receive cleaner air. In April 2022, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association reported a 1.3% increase in global automobile production to 79.1 million units from 2020. This surge in vehicle production drives the need for air filters to enhance engine safety, thus fueling the growth of the intake filter media market.

Stringent regulations aimed at controlling air pollution are significantly contributing to the expansion of the intake filter media market. Air pollution, resulting from physical, chemical, or biological pollutants, poses risks to both animals and humans. Governments worldwide are increasingly implementing regulations to combat air pollution, driving the demand for effective air filtration solutions. For example, the World Health Organization's Global Air Quality Guidelines, introduced in September 2021, aim to address air pollution and set guidelines for managing various particulate matter types. Consequently, the stringent regulations for air pollution control are propelling the intake filter media market.

A key trend gaining popularity in the intake filter media market is product innovation. Major companies in the market are concentrating on developing new technological solutions to enhance their market positions. For instance, in April 2020, Denmark-based JP Air Tech, a company specializing in air filtration and filter media, introduced the JX81-B-PTFE membrane - a fully synthetic lightweight filter media. This membrane, designed with a basic weight of 80 g/m2 and E12 filtering efficiency class, addresses the increasing demand for high-efficiency lightweight synthetic filter media. It finds applications in vacuum cleaners, HVAC systems, dust collectors, car cabins, and other air filtration needs. The focus is on achieving optimal filtration performance through specific surface area, pleat design, and overall filter area.

Major companies in the intake filter media market are developing high-performance filter media to enhance efficiency. High-performance filter media refers to advanced materials that efficiently capture and eliminate contaminants, ensuring superior filtration and optimal air quality in various industrial applications. In October 2022, Alkegen, a US-based specialty materials company, launched new filtration products, including TriboStatiX air filtration media, LyPore MB liquid filtration media, and LydAir GP molecular filtration media. These products are designed for air, liquid, and molecular filtration applications, playing a crucial role in intake filter systems used in HVAC units and other filtration systems. The emphasis is on improving filtration efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and providing longer service life - essential attributes for intake filter media.

In September 2021, Germany-based Freudenberg Group, specializing in filtration technologies for automotive parts, acquired Protect Plus Air Holding Inc, a US-based company providing air filters for residential and automotive applications. This strategic acquisition enables the Freudenberg Group to expand its product portfolio in filtration solutions and enhance its presence in North America.
