The particle counters market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The particle counters market has experienced rapid growth in recent years. It is expected to grow from $0.57 billion in 2024 to $0.64 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%.
The growth has been driven by increasing concerns over air pollution and its health impacts, industrial hygiene standards, cleanroom requirements, the pharmaceutical sector, and advances in laser technology.
The particle counters market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The particle counters market is expected to grow to $1.04 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 12.9%.
This growth is fueled by the increasing focus on air quality monitoring, the growing need for environmental awareness, government initiatives, and advancements in smaller, more user-friendly devices. Trends include IoT integration, sensor technology improvements, automation, AI integration, and cost-effective solutions.
The escalation of indoor air pollution is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the particle counters market in the future. Indoor air pollution pertains to the existence of contaminants in atmospheric air within residential buildings, offices, schools, or any other enclosed structures. The phenomenon is increasing due to various factors like the proliferating use of synthetic construction commodities and furnishings, elevated usage of domestic chemicals, and the proliferation of combustion appliances. Particle counters facilitate the monitoring of indoor air contamination, by quantifying the amount and size dispersion of airborne particulates, lending a hand in pinpointing possible sources and evaluating air quality. For example, as per the Environmental Protection Agency, a government agency based in the US, in July 2023, Americans usually devote roughly 90 percent of their time indoors, where the density of some pollutants can frequently be 2 to 5 times greater than outdoor levels. Therefore, the escalation of indoor air pollution is a key catalyst in the growth of the particle counters market.
