Summary

Air purifiers are specific devices used to remove infecting or polluting particles, such as dust or pollen, and filter the air for industrial or domestic purposes. Air purifiers are also used to keep the air quality high while slowing the spread of damaging substances. It can safeguard against numerous air pollution-induced diseases, such as neurological issues or respiratory problems. It is also beneficial for individuals with allergies and asthma, and these devices are also used to remove tobacco smoke from a room. Air purifiers are also used in several industries, such as power plants, printing, chemicals, food and beverage manufacturing, and fuel manufacturing. Air purifiers are required in the industry for air monitoring and cleaning because certain gases and airborne particles discharged in the industry can be harmful to employees and have a significant impact on the environment if not controlled. Air purifiers are also used in homes to improve the indoor air quality by eradicating odors, smoke, and dust particles from the air.
According to the research report "Colombia Air Purifier Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the market is expected to add USD 0.19 billion by 2028. Increasing pollution levels and the rising prevalence of airborne diseases in the country have resulted in rising product demand. This has resulted in boosting the demand for air purifiers. The rising awareness regarding healthy living has also contributed to the increased demand for air purifiers in Argentina. The market in Argentina is projected to witness significant growth owing to the increasing pollution levels caused by industrialization, urbanization, and rapid population growth. Air purifiers play an important role in controlling deteriorating air quality and environmental imbalances that cause health issues. These factors are significantly influencing the market growth of air purifiers in Colombia.

Colombia’s National Planning Department estimates that approximately 8 thousand people die per year because of the poor air quality. Vehicle use and factory emissions are the primary sources of increased air pollution in Colombia. To support citizens, Bogota’s Environment Department launched a smartphone application last fall called Aire Bogotá that provides real-time information on the city’s air quality, gathered from a robust monitoring network of over 20 stations. The IDB is conducting an evaluation to determine whether the app enables city residents to avoid exposure to severe air pollution. Industrial pollution is a major problem in Colombia. Diverse industries are part of the pollution problem in Valle del Cauca, a region that hosts an important industrial corridor in south-western Colombia. Both rural and urban areas are being affected by industrial pollution.

According to the report, the market is segmented by application type into three categories: residential, commercial, and industrial. The commercial and industrial sectors are currently dominating the air purifier market. During the forecast period, the residential sector is going to dominate the air purifier market in Colombia due to the increase in urbanisation, standard of living, and disposable income of people. These are the factors that are propelling the market growth of air purifiers in Colombia.

According to the report, the market is segmented by technology: high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA), activated carbon, ionic filters, and others (UV irradiation, photocatalytic oxidation, ozonation, non-thermal plasma, and electrostatic precipitators). HEPA air purifiers use an advanced air filter to remove 99.7% of all particles larger than 0.2 microns from the air in a home. That means that HEPA air purifiers are highly effective at removing particles like pollen, dander, mold, and dust from the air. HEPA air filters must be replaced after every month of use. In addition, HEPA air filters cannot trap microorganisms smaller than 0.2 microns, like germs, viruses, and bacteria. Activated carbon air purifiers are effective at removing smoke, odors, fumes, and gases from the air inside the home. People who are sensitive to odours like smoke or natural gas mostly consider activated carbon air purifiers. Most activated carbon air purifiers include HEPA filters that remove particles from the air as well. Ionic air purifiers are extremely quiet and operate without a motor. They emit negative ions into the air, and ionic air purifiers can remove just about anything other than odours from the air. That includes dust, dander, allergens, smoke, viruses, bacteria, and fumes. During the forecast period, the HEPA technology air purifier will dominate the Colombia air purifier market, owing to its extreme effectiveness in trapping airborne particles such as pollen, dirt, smoke, and bio-contaminants. The high quality and consistency of HEPA filters to eradicate airborne particles are likely to boost the market for air purifiers in Colombia.

According to the report, the market is segmented by mounting type. Fixed and portable: fixed air purifiers are those that are fixed at a specific location and cannot be moved, whereas portable air purifiers are those that are portable in nature and can be carried anywhere they are needed. During the forecast period, portable air purifiers will dominate the air purifier market in Colombia due to their low installation costs and other associated benefits.

The market in Colombia is projected to witness significant growth owing to the increasing pollution levels caused by industrialization, urbanization, and rapid population growth. Air purifiers play an important role in controlling deteriorating air quality and environmental imbalances that cause health issues. The increasing product adoption is also attributed to the rising awareness about health among the youth and the upper echelons of society. Clean and fresh air prevents the possibility of respiratory diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonia, and asthma.
