Manufacturers sell these products through OEM and aftermarket channels, catering to different car segments based on pricing - economical, medium-priced, and luxury.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.

This Car air purifier market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The car air purifier market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.13 billion in 2024 to $2.31 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased air pollution levels, rising demand for automobiles, technological advancements, increased older population, economic growth in emerging markets and increased disposable income and living standards.

The car air purifier market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.23 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a rise in car sales with safety features, rising incidence of allergies, changing climate conditions, increasing car air purifiers demand due to covid and growing urbanization. Major trends in the forecast period include developing unique car air purification systems for electric cars, developing antimicrobial filters for better safety, focusing on technological advancements for ensuring better cabin air quality and leveraging strategic partnerships to strengthen position in the market.

The forecast of 8.8% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through increased production costs for air filtration components, primarily imported from South Korea and Japan, leading to higher retail prices and reduced consumer demand. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The anticipated escalation in atmospheric pollution levels is poised to drive the expansion of the car air purifier market in the coming years. Pollution levels, quantified by the air quality index, serve as a crucial metric in daily air quality reporting. Car air purifiers play a pivotal role in safeguarding passengers from airborne contaminants, facilitating the purification of polluted air to ensure a cleaner in-car environment. Notably, in June 2022, The Economic Times reported that Indians might experience a reduction of up to 5 years in life expectancy due to air pollution. The South Asian region is responsible for nearly half (52%) of the projected global lost life years attributed to elevated pollution levels. Consequently, the substantial pollution levels underscore the anticipated surge in demand for car air purifiers throughout the forecast period.

The upward trajectory of allergic conditions is expected to be a key driver for the growth of the car air purifier market in the foreseeable future. Respiratory allergies stemming from various sources such as pollen, dust, mold, and pet dander are exacerbated by contaminated indoor and outdoor air. Car air purifiers are essential for protecting individuals from pollutants during travel. As per projections from the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, a non-profit organization, by the year 2025, one out of every three individuals in the European Union is anticipated to be affected by allergies. This surge in respiratory allergies is set to stimulate demand for car air purifiers, positioning them as a vital solution. Consequently, the prevalence of allergic conditions is poised to positively impact the growth trajectory of the car air purifier market.

The prevailing trend of technological advancements stands out as a significant factor driving the car air purifier market. Leading companies in this sector are actively introducing novel products infused with innovative technologies, including dual technology, to cater to the evolving demands of end customers and maintain their competitive positions. An illustrative example is Tata Motors, an India-based automotive manufacturer, which, in August 2022, unveiled the Air-o-Pure 95 Air Purifier. This cutting-edge air purifier incorporates an Active Carbon HEPA filter and UV-C light, contributing to improved air quality by eliminating volatile organic compounds, viruses, bacteria, and filtering out harmful smoke. The device's aesthetically pleasing design allows seamless integration into the cup holder of any Tata vehicle, showcasing a commitment to both functionality and design.

A noteworthy trend gaining traction in the car air purifiers market is the focused development of air purification systems tailored specifically for electric vehicles. Major players in the car air purifier industry are actively diversifying their product portfolios to fortify their market presence. For instance, in October 2022, Audi, a prominent Germany-based automotive company, revealed its venture into an urban air purification system designed for electric vehicles. This innovative system enables electric vehicles, inherently zero-emission, to actively filter the city's air as they navigate through urban environments. Distinctive features include a replaceable filter that can be conveniently changed during regular vehicle servicing. Furthermore, the system operates passively, filtering the air without electricity consumption, and can also actively clean the air when the electric vehicle is plugged in. This strategic approach underscores a commitment to environmental sustainability and aligns with the evolving needs of the automotive market.

Leading companies in the market are concentrating on technologically advanced components, such as three-layer filtration systems, to secure a competitive edge. A three-layer filtration system in a car air purifier typically includes a pre-filter for capturing larger particles, a HEPA filter for trapping fine allergens and pollutants, and an activated carbon filter for eliminating odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air. For example, in November 2022, Hero Electronix, a technology venture based in India, launched a new car air purifier under its consumer technology brand, Qubo. This device aims to enhance air quality within vehicles by effectively reducing pollutants. It features a three-layer filtration system capable of removing particulate matter (PM 2.5-10), allergens, bacteria, dust, cigarette smoke, and harmful chemicals from plastics and exhaust fumes, as well as minimizing odors. Furthermore, the purifier includes an automotive air quality monitoring system that comes with a built-in TVOC sensor, which detects air quality and automatically adjusts the fan speed to optimize purification.
