Summary

The US is witnessing a consistent increase in air pollution levels, owing to the rapid growth of manufacturing and construction activities along with increasing personal vehicle ownership. The country is registering a decline in air quality, and people in these countries can be seen wearing masks or installing air purifiers. Air pollution has become one of the leading causes of death across the globe, and the number of patients with asthma, pulmonary cancer, COPD, other allergies, and respiratory diseases continues to grow in the United States. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States, around 67 million metric tonnes of pollution were emitted into the atmosphere across the country in 2021. An air purifier is a device that removes contaminating particles such as dust, pollen, and dander from the air in a room to improve indoor air quality. These devices are frequently marketed as being beneficial to allergy and asthma sufferers, as well as for reducing or eliminating second-hand tobacco smoke. An indoor air purifier ensures the filtration of the indoor air of an enclosed space, which it captures to release depolluted air. The commercially graded air purifiers are manufactured as either small stand-alone units or larger units that can be affixed to an air handler unit (AHU) or to an HVAC unit found in the medical, industrial, and commercial industries. Air purifiers are also used in industry to remove impurities from the air.

According to the research report "US Air Purifier Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the market is expected to add USD 1.47 billion by 2028. Increasing pollution levels and the rising prevalence of airborne diseases in the country have resulted in rising product demand. The lockdown measures were taken by various states, such as California, Chicago, Illinois, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Mississippi, to control the COVID-19 spread. 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 the United States. The market in the U.S. 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 certain factors are significantly influencing the market growth of air purifiers in US.

According to the report, the market is segmented by application type into three categories: residential, commercial, and industrial. The commercial sector currently dominates the air purifier market due to Air purifiers are installed in offices to maintain indoor air quality, as poor indoor air quality can have an impact on employee productivity. Air purifiers are also used in medical laboratories and hospitals to prevent air contamination, as superior air quality is critical in these environments. They are also used to eliminate airborne pathogens and maintain indoor air quality in research and development laboratories, pre-schools, and secondary educational facilities. During the forecast period, the residential sector is going to dominate the air purifier market in the US due to the increase in urbanisation in the country, the standard of living, and the disposable income of people, which are the factors that are going to dominate the market for US air purifiers in the residential sector.

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. Throughout the forecast period, the HEPA technology air purifier will dominate the air purifier market in the United States. This is due in large part to their extreme effectiveness in trapping airborne particles, including pollen, dirt, smoke, and biocontaminants. The high quality and consistency of HEPA filters to eradicate airborne particles are likely to boost the market for air purifiers in the US.

According to the report, the market is segmented by mounting type. Fixed and portable, fixed air purifiers are those that are fixed in one location and cannot be moved, while 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 are expected to dominate the air purifier market in the United States, controlling a lucrative market share due to low installation costs and associated benefits.

The market in the US 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.

Smart and connected air purifiers are becoming increasingly popular in the US market. Smart air purifiers are becoming increasingly popular in the nationwide residential air purifier market. These are simple to use on smartphones and tablets. Many players offer smart air purifiers that can be connected via a simple mobile application available on various operating systems, such as Android and iOS, and controlled via wireless technologies, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Some of the major players of Air purifier in US includes IQAir North America, Inc. Honeywell International, Inc., LG Electronics, Unilever, Aerus LLC, Panasonic Corp., Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc., Whirlpool Corp., Daikin Industries, Ltd, Rabbit Air
