In recent years, environmental pollution levels soared immensely on account of industrial expansion. While pollution has varied forms, air pollution contributes to around 6.7 million deaths globally each year. Estimates indicate China and India witnessed the highest number of deaths in 2019, reaching about 1.8 million and 1.7 million, respectively. The alarming surge in air pollution is thus expected to boost the global industrial air purifier market.
Besides, industrial workers, especially in developing regions, face occupational risks of COPD and lung cancer due to a lack of safety standards and high PM 2.5 concentrations. As per WHO, occupational risks like airborne particles result in around 13% of COPD cases. Our estimates indicate that the global industrial air purifier market will advance with a CAGR of 7.06% over the forecast period 2022-2028.
While air pollution severely impacts human health, it has a heavy economic impact, equating to approximately 3.3% of the world’s GDP. As per industry sources, in 2018, disability due to chronic diseases resulted in an economic loss of around $200 billion globally. Global air pollution concerns have influenced end-user sectors to deploy molecular and particulate filters to curb emissions:
The Food & Beverage category is expected to witness the fastest growth in the end-user segment. This is mainly attributed to the need for extremely hygienic conditions to prevent contamination in processing plants. Molecular filters are widely employed to collect volatile chemicals, fumes, and gases using activated carbon beds in F&B processing plants. Since these cleaners are specially designed to prevent contamination, companies like Camfil AB have introduced CC 6000 ProSafe air purifiers, especially for F&B and life science industries.
The Power category dominates within the end-user segment, garnering the highest shares. The surged energy requirements in developed and developing regions have soared filtration systems’ demand to maintain airflow. Air compressors, in this scenario, are critical for the processing units to remain operational for prolonged periods without shutdowns. This has elevated the demand for new filter technologies to enhance performance. For instance, a coal mining company in China’s Shanxi Province adopted Anguil’s new air filter to capture ventilation air methane and convert it into electricity.
The Metal Processing industry generates high-level contaminants from metal grinding and cutting, leading to a prevalence of respiratory diseases among workers. Compact air purifier emerges as a major segment, contributing around 37.08% in 2021. Since these purifiers offer air extraction and cleaning of large volumes of space, their demand has advanced immensely in the industry. Estimates suggest that around 100 million metalworking fluids are generated annually in the US, affecting over one million employees. These factors have increased air cleaners’ demand, thereby driving the North America industrial air purifier market.
Several government bodies have enforced regulatory measures to maintain the industrial air quality in order to protect employees from adverse working conditions. These measures have thus fueled the adoption of air filters, majorly driving the market in the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommended guidelines to maintain the indoor air quality in the US and Canada.
Canada’s government introduced the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy 2019 to 2022, which outlines sustainability actions in collaboration with partners to tackle air pollution.
In India, the Department of Science & Technology launched the Indigenous Photonic System for Real Time Remote Monitoring of Air Quality project to develop deployable air quality monitoring photonic system.
The German government aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 55% by 2030 under the Climate Action Programme and the Climate Action Act. It states annual reduction targets for individual industries.
As per Greenpeace Southeast Asia and the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, air pollution accounts for about $2.9 trillion in economic cost globally. This factor and its detrimental impact on health have created possibilities for technological advancements in air purification systems. For instance, IoT-connected air filtration systems and growth in the portable cleaners market are making great strides, from polar ionization to the use of nanofibers.
Furthermore, filterless magnetic air purification deploys a tri-stage micro-trapping method combining polarization, impingement, and accumulation for a ‘trap and kill’ outcome to eliminate secondary pollutants’ activation in enclosed industrial spaces. Therefore, the development and deployment of smart and cost-effective filtration technology will be a major driving factor for the global industrial air purifier market over the forecast period.
In 2021, the industrial air purifier market acquired $2711.30 million. It is expected to obtain revenue worth $4306.88 million by 2028.
Q2) What are the types of industrial air purifiers?Molecular and particulate are the two major industrial air filtration systems, with molecular accounting for the highest market share.
