Since 2020, public concern regarding virus risk has led to a significant focus on disinfection as key to improving indoor air quality (IAQ). Disinfection technologies, such as ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) and ionization, among others, have gained public attention. However, IAQ solutions must be considered holistically rather than focusing on standalone disinfection solutions. For instance, UVGI is effective for surface disinfection rather than for killing viruses traveling quickly through the ventilated airflow. UVGI will likely be much more effective combined with filters in air purifiers to disinfect the filter's surfaces. Likewise, ionization is effective in virus risk mitigation when the technology is attached to HVAC equipment or air purifiers. Other considerations for occupants' comfort and safety include humidity control and pollutant sensing.
Pre-pandemic IAQ solutions focused on reducing indoor air contaminants caused by outdoor air pollution. Air pollution reduction is still at the core of IAQ management in certain regions or during specific periods. Designing buildings that meet strict IAQ management guidelines with heightened energy efficiency targets may be also necessary due to stringent building performance standards.
This Guidehouse Insights report examines these market trends and forecasts the major ventilation and IAQ management markets. It also includes guidelines as well as technology and industry trends industry. The global market forecasts extend through 2031, broken down by region and segment, including energy efficiency ventilation equipment utilizing energy recovery technology and air purifier and IAQ sensors.
