The air filter media market has experienced robust growth, advancing from $4.28 billion in 2023 to $4.55 billion in 2024, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% during the historic period. Contributing factors to this growth include concerns about air quality, the implementation of stringent environmental regulations, the ongoing processes of industrialization and urbanization, increased penetration of HVAC systems, and a rise in automotive production amid overall economic growth. Moving forward, the air filter media market is expected to sustain its strength, reaching $6.04 billion in 2028 with a CAGR of 7.3%. Anticipated growth drivers in this period include concerns about airborne diseases, a heightened focus on indoor air quality, the flourishing e-commerce sector, the growth of electric vehicles, and compliance with energy efficiency regulations. Noteworthy trends during the forecasted period involve technological advancements in filtration media, upgrades and retrofits of HVAC systems, the emergence of sustainable and eco-friendly solutions, the integration of smart air filtration technologies, and customization tailored to specific applications.
Major Driver In The Air Filter Media Market
The decrease in the quality of air globally is expected to contribute to the growth of the air filter media market during the forecast period. Air pollution causes dangerous health problems such as cardiovascular, respiratory diseases, and cancers. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency’s national ambient air quality standards, exposure to very fine particulate matter known as PM2.5 is considered safe as long as the person breathes an average of 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air or less per day. For instance, according to the 2021 World Air Quality Report, out of 117 countries, regions, and territories, 16 have exceeded 10 times of standard micrograms per cubic meter metric, and 20 exceeded 7 to 10 times of standard metric of micrograms per cubic meter. Therefore, the decrease in the quality of air globally boosted the demand for air filters or purifiers and this, in turn, drives the growth of air filter media market during the forecast period.
