Fabric Filters Market Report 2026

The fabric filters market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.25 billion in 2025 to $4.68 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to stricter industrial emission regulations, expansion of coal-based power generation, growth in cement and steel production, increased adoption of dust collection systems, availability of durable filter fabrics.

The fabric filters market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.93 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing tightening of air pollution norms, rising adoption of energy-efficient filtration systems, expansion of industrial manufacturing capacity, growing focus on workplace safety, increased investment in advanced pollution control technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-efficiency pulse jet filters, growing use of advanced filter media materials, expansion of continuous emission control systems, rising integration of smart monitoring in filtration units, enhanced focus on industrial air quality compliance.

Rising environmental concerns linked to global warming are expected to propel the growth of the fabric filter market going forward. Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide and other air pollutants accumulate in the atmosphere, trapping heat and increasing the temperature of the oceans and air. The extensive use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas is a major contributor to this issue, accounting for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90% of total carbon dioxide emissions. Fabric filters help remove fine particulate matter from the air, preventing harmful emissions from being released into the surrounding environment. For example, in October 2023, according to data published by the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based United Nations agency, around 3.6 billion people live in regions highly vulnerable to climate change. This exposure is projected to result in an additional 250,000 deaths per year between 2030 and 2050 due to factors such as undernutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and heat stress. Therefore, increasing environmental concerns driven by global warming are contributing to the growth of the fabric filter market.

Companies operating in the fabric filters market are introducing innovative products such as Less Microfiber to maintain their competitive position. Less Microfiber is an external washing machine filter designed to significantly reduce the release of plastic microfibers during laundry cycles. For instance, in June 2023, Samsung Electronics Co., a South Korea-based appliance and consumer electronics company, launched the Less Microfiber filter to support sustainable and efficient laundry practices. Developed in collaboration with Ocean Wise and Patagonia, the technology aims to prevent microplastic pollution originating from everyday household activities. The solution utilizes Samsung’s proprietary Ecobubble technology, which uses bubbles to dissolve detergent more effectively while requiring less heat and energy, thereby reducing fabric abrasion and limiting microplastic emissions. This innovation enables consumers to participate more actively in reducing microplastic pollution and adopting sustainable practices at home.
