Indian Smart Air Purifier Market 2025-2035

Indian Smart Air Purifier Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Dust Collectors, Fume & Smoke Collectors, and Others), by Technology (High-efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA), Thermodynamic Sterilization System (TSS), and Others), and by End-Use (Residential, and Commercial), Forecast Period (2025-2035)

Industry Overview

Indian smart air purifier market was valued at $125.8 million in 2024 and is projected to reach $298.7 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period (2025-2035). The smart air purifier market in India is expanding rapidly, fueled by rising concerns over air pollution, rapid industrial expansion, and supportive government measures. Increasing urbanization and the surge in industrial activity have significantly worsened air quality, especially in metropolitan areas, prompting households and businesses alike to adopt air purification solutions. Another important drive is the increase in disposable income, which has made advanced consumer technologies more affordable for a wider section of the population. At the same time, manufacturers are introducing new features and innovations, which not only improve product performance but also attract buyers who are looking for smarter, more efficient options.

Market Dynamics

Adoption of Smart Home Ecosystems is Driving the Market

One of the strongest drivers of the Indian smart air purifier market is the rapid adoption of smart home technologies. Consumers increasingly expect home devices like air purifiers to connect seamlessly within a digital ecosystem, whether through smartphone applications or voice assistants such as Alexa and Google Home. Additionally, Modern air purifier models are now capable of tracking air quality in real time, adjusting settings automatically, and notifying users when filters require replacement.

Manufacturers are responding to this trend by bringing advanced, app-based, and sensor-enabled products to market. For instance, in September 2024, Secure Connection introduced upgraded Honeywell-licensed purifiers (models P2, U1, and U2) with Alexa compatibility. Through the "Honeywell Air Touch" app, users can operate their purifiers remotely by voice command, a feature that has gained particular relevance for families and elderly users.

Additionally, in November 2024, Qubo, a smart device brand under Hero Group, released two new Smart Air Purifiers - Q600 and Q1000. These models feature enhanced QSensAI technology and can be controlled through the Qubo app, offering real-time monitoring, filter replacement reminders, and remote settings management. They also support voice control via Alexa and Google Assistant.

Government Initiatives Driving Market Opportunities

India continues to struggle with severe air pollution, and this has pushed both the government and the public to look for clean air solutions. Over the last few years, the government has stepped up its role, through public health campaigns, air quality regulations, and consumer incentives to encourage adoption of cleaner technologies. These measures are not only aimed at improving public health but are also tied to larger national programs such as Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, which emphasize local innovation and self-reliance. This is expected to create several opportunities for the Indian smart air purifier market in the future.

For Instance, in April 2025, the Technology Development Board (TDB), under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), took a significant step in supporting Urban Air Labs for their project on developing an efficient air purification system. This aims to improve indoor air quality using plant-based technology.

Market Segmentation

• Based on the type, the market is segmented into dust collectors, fume & smoke collectors, and others.
• Based on the technology, the market is segmented into high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA), thermodynamic sterilization systems (TSS), and others.
• Based on the end-use, the market is segmented into residential and commercial.

Commercial Spaces Driving Market Expansion

Among the end-use segments, the commercial segment is emerging as one of the fastest-growing areas. Poor indoor air quality has turned into a major issue for offices, leading not only to health concerns but also extra costs for businesses in terms of absenteeism and lower productivity. With outdoor pollution levels worsening in most Indian cities, companies are under pressure to make workplaces safer and more comfortable for employees.

Many firms are responding by putting in place air purification measures. This includes installing purifiers, upgrading air handling units with stronger filters, and even adding greenery indoors to balance the environment. Companies such as Acer India, KPMG, PepsiCo, and Deloitte have already moved in this direction by using advanced air purifiers and MERV 14 filters along with indoor plants. Additionally, Candor TechSpace partnered with Honeywell to install electronic air cleaners across its campuses to improve air quality.

Dominance of HEPA Technology in the Market

The High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) technology segment is projected to lead the Indian smart air purifier market. HEPA filters are designed with an extended surface area, which allows them to trap both larger and finer airborne particles more effectively than many other filtration methods. Their ability to capture dust, pollen, pet dander, and similar allergens has made them a preferred choice among consumers. Their high efficiency in removing contaminants makes them ideal for use not only in homes but also in hospitals and other sensitive settings.

Recognizing this demand, several leading players in the market are rolling out smart air purifiers sealed with HEPA filters, aiming to combine advanced filtration performance with smart connectivity features. For instance, in November 2024, Dyson released the Purifier Hot+Cool Gen1 in India, offering heating, cooling, and air purification in one device. It uses Dyson's advanced filtration and airflow tech to adjust air based on room requirements. The Purifier Hot+Cool Gen1 uses HEPA filters, capable of capturing up to 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies operating in the Indian smart air purifier market include Dyson Group, Honeywell International Inc., Koninklijke Philips N.V., LG Electronics Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., among others. Market players are leveraging partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisition strategies for business expansion and innovative product development to maintain their market positioning.
