Dehumidifiers are electrical devices utilized to reduce and control the humidity level in the air, typically for health or comfort considerations. They effectively eliminate musty odors and inhibit the growth of mildew by extracting water from the air. This category only encompasses goods and services traded among entities or sold to end consumers.
The primary types of dehumidifiers include chemical absorbents, heat pumps, and ventilating dehumidifiers. A heat pump operates as a heat engine in reverse. The dehumidifier technologies encompass cold condensation, sorption, warm condensation, and other technologies. The applications span commercial, industrial, and residential sectors.
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 rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and rising trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a substantial impact on the machinery sector, driving up the costs of essential components such as steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings many of which are sourced from regions affected by the tariffs. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery are now facing tighter profit margins, as existing long-term contracts limit their ability to raise prices immediately. This climate of uncertainty has also led to postponed investments in automation and smart machinery, slowing potential productivity improvements. In response, companies are focusing on developing local suppliers, redesigning products to incorporate alternative materials, and adopting predictive maintenance strategies to extend equipment life and reduce the need for costly replacements.
The dehumidifiers market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides dehumidifiers market statistics, including dehumidifiers industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a dehumidifiers market share, detailed dehumidifiers market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the dehumidifiers industry. This dehumidifiers 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 dehumidifiers market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $4.71 billion in 2024 to $4.92 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in disposable income and an increase in the construction of shopping malls.
The dehumidifiers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.09 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising urbanization, growing expenditure on comfort and luxury, growing need for energy-efficient products, increasing population growth, growing adoption of the dehumidifier in food packaging and processing, and stringent regulation on industrial and commercial sector air pollution. Major trends in the forecast period include invest in developing IoT-enabled dehumidifiers, focus on chemical absorbent dehumidifiers, develop customizable dehumidifiers, focus on collaborating or partnering with power plants, invest more in climatic devices.
The forecast of 5.5% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% 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 higher costs for desiccant wheels and refrigerant coils, sourced from key regions such as South Korea, Mexico, and Italy, increasing prices for commercial and industrial units. 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 increase in disposable income played a crucial role in the expansion of the dehumidifiers market. With a rise in disposable income, households have more financial resources for spending, leading to an uptick in product purchases, particularly those contributing to health benefits. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the average household net adjusted disposable income per capita across OECD countries stands at $30,563 per year. The surge in disposable income heightened the demand for consumer spending, consequently propelling the dehumidifiers market during the specified period.
The anticipated increase in the number of warehouses is expected to drive the growth of the dehumidifiers market in the future. A warehouse serves as a crucial commercial space in the supply chain, widely utilized in sectors such as manufacturing and distribution for storing raw materials and finished products. Dehumidifiers are employed in warehouses to eliminate excess moisture from the air, helping to safeguard stored items by maintaining humidity at safe levels. For example, in March 2024, the United States Census Bureau, a government agency in the US, reported that in 2022, the estimated revenue for the Warehousing and Storage subsector (493) increased by 12.3%, reaching $54.7 billion, up from $48.7 billion in 2021. Thus, the expansion of the warehousing industry is propelling the growth of the dehumidifiers market.
The utilization of Climatix in dehumidifiers is becoming an increasingly prominent trend in the market. Climatix is a technological solution designed for the cost-effective and efficient control of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment (HVAC). It is specifically crafted for heating or cooling applications and seamlessly integrates into building automation systems. Notably, companies such as Munters are incorporating Climatix to enhance the performance efficiency of their dehumidifiers.
Major players in the dehumidifier market are directing their efforts toward the development of innovative products, with a focus on high-efficiency dehumidifiers, to offer reliable services to customers. High-efficiency dehumidifiers are designed to extract moisture from the air using less energy compared to traditional dehumidifiers. For example, in September 2023, Quest Climate, a US-based manufacturer of commercial and industrial dehumidifiers, introduced the Quest 100. This dehumidifier features M-CoRR Technology and stands out as the smallest in the company's lineup. It provides smaller-scale cultivators with an efficient means of achieving optimal output in a healthy environment through high-efficiency equipment.
In August 2022, Dreison International Inc., a US-based manufacturer of proprietary products, completed the acquisition of Innovative Dehumidifier Systems LLC for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move is anticipated to assist Dreison International in expanding its product portfolio and reaching new customer segments. Innovative Dehumidifier Systems LLC is a US-based provider specializing in energy-efficient dehumidification solutions.
