Air filters remove airborne particles, pollutants, and microorganisms hazardous to health and the ecosystem. Air filters effectively remove dust, dirt, smoke, aerosols, odors, viruses, molds, bacteria, toxic gases, and other particles and pollutants that could exist in ambient air. Air filters preserve the quality of materials and products in industrial facilities. The growing awareness regarding indoor air quality and the growing need for efficient ventilation in educational institutes and commercial buildings are increasing air filter usage. However, the elevated price associated with the installation and maintenance of air filters and operational issues may adversely impact the use of air filters by the end-use sectors. Moreover, the ongoing investments in green building construction and the rise in R&D for developing improved and advanced air filters are expected to encourage the deployment of air filters across the end-use sectors worldwide.

Type: Growing adoption high-efficiency particulate air to remove airborne particles

High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters remove particulates and other debris from the air and are effective at trapping particles as minor as 0.3 microns. Activated carbon air filters trap volatile organic compounds, molecules responsible for odors, and some recognized as important indoor air pollutants. Ionizers air filters can trap airborne particles such as pollen, dust, and other allergens, while UV air filters utilize ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses in the air. Ultra-low penetration air (ULPA) filters can remove airborne particles with a minimum particle penetration size of 120 nanometres. Electrostatic air filters work like dust magnets, using static electricity to attract dirty air and ensure it sticks to the filter.

Air Filter Media: Shift towards pleated filters to ensure clean and purified air

Pleated filters are constructed out of thin layers of paper or plastic material folded into pleats to provide increased surface area for capturing airborne particles. Non-pleated air filters are effective for trapping large particles, such as lint, dust, and even insects, and generally allow for more airflow than pleated ones.

Material Type: Extensive use of carbon air purifiers for toxic gas removal

Carbon air filters remove toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide and benzene, fumes, and allergens by adsorbing the particles into the surface of the activated carbon molecules. Carbon air filters are used in air purifiers, bathroom fans, and microwaves. Foam air filters are manufactured from engineered porous foams made from polyurethane, polyether, polyester, or a combination of those materials. Foam air filters have an efficient dirt retention capacity and are ideal for exhaust filters and filters in automobile intake systems. Paper air filters allow the separation of small particles and are commonly used in automobile air cleaners, furnace filters, and indoor air purifiers. Aluminum air filters are produced from multiple alternating layers of aluminum screens to maximize their filtering and particle retention capabilities. Fiberglass air filters provide better airflow in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units and are suitable for capturing only large particles. Plastic air filters have high strength, durability, and chemical resistance and are made from woven polypropylene and polyester, among other polymers.

Application: Significant growth in deployment of air filters in HVAC systems

Air compressor filters remove contaminant particles from the incoming air and help to keep critical system components, including cylinders and valves, working smoothly. Baghouses are another type of air filtration system that uses bags or filters to trap airborne particles. Cabin filters provide a cleaner interior atmosphere for passengers during travel, reducing airborne contaminants that may cause discomfort or illness during long flights. Engines have filtration systems designed to keep particulates out of internal combustion engines, preserving their efficiency and performance over time. HVAC units usually contain multiple layers of specialized filtration media which trap particulates from entering living spaces. Exhaust filters remove impurities and pollutants from the air drawn through a ventilator in a closed system.

End-User: Evolving emphasis on ensuring clean and safe air across residential sector

Air filters are deployed in the residential sector to provide a clean and fresh living space. Commercial air filters are installed in office buildings, retail stores, multi-family housing units, schools, and hospitals to provide long-lasting air filtration performance without being replaced too frequently. The end-users also prioritize the efficiency of air filters to reduce unnecessary energy consumption. Industrial air filters handle large volumes of particulate matter with minimal maintenance or replacement requirements.

Regional Insights

The air filters market is evolving in the Americas owing to the vast presence of the well-established commercial sector, growing focus on improved ventilation, and rising concerns regarding indoor air quality.
