Which Trends Are Expected To Transform The Intake Filter Media Market?
The prominent trend of product innovation is making its presence noticed in the intake filter media market. With the aim of asserting their dominance in the market, major corporations in the intake filter sector are striving to introduce fresh technological breakthroughs. For example, Mann+Hummel, a German automotive manufacturer, unveiled Mann-Filter FreciousPlus in June 2024. The standout feature of MANN-FILTER's FreciousPlus FP 38 004 is its superior nanofiber technology that sets a new benchmark for cabin air filtration. The filter, owing to its ability to effectively trap ultra-fine particles and pollutants from inside and outside of the vehicle, offers protection against allergens, bacteria, and mold. The nanofibers are considerably thinner - about 100 times - than regular filter fibers which enhances the filtration efficiency. This cutting-edge technology is currently available in the automotive aftermarket for premium MANN-FILTER cabin air filters.
