Air humidifiers are devices designed to increase moisture levels in the air, either in a single room or an entire building. Point-of-use humidifiers are commonly used in homes to humidify individual rooms, while whole-house or furnace humidifiers, connected to a home's HVAC system, provide humidity for the entire house. These devices add moisture to the air, offering benefits for individuals with respiratory symptoms or dry skin.
The primary types of air humidifiers include portable humidifiers and whole-house humidifiers. Portable humidifiers are standalone devices placed in a room to add moisture to the air. Vaporizers, ultrasonic humidifiers, and evaporative humidifiers are examples of portable humidifiers, each utilizing different technologies to introduce moisture into the air. Air humidifiers find applications in commercial, industrial, and residential settings, with distribution occurring through both online and offline channels.
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.
Tariffs are influencing the air humidifiers market by increasing costs of imported electronic sensors, ultrasonic transducers, heating elements, plastic enclosures, and control modules used in portable and whole-house units. Residential and commercial segments in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported components, while Asia-Pacific experiences cost pressure on export-oriented production. These tariffs are elevating product prices and impacting distribution margins. However, they are also encouraging domestic component sourcing, localized manufacturing, and innovation in cost-optimized and smart humidifier designs.

The air humidifiers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.78 billion in 2025 to $4.02 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing awareness of respiratory health benefits, rising use of HVAC systems in buildings, expansion of residential housing projects, growing demand for comfort-enhancing appliances, improved access to consumer home appliances.
The air humidifiers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.1 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of smart home air treatment devices, rising demand for health-focused indoor environments, expansion of whole-house humidifier installations, growing penetration of connected home appliances, increasing focus on energy-efficient humidity control. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of smart humidity control systems, rising demand for portable and whole-house humidifiers, growing integration with hvac systems, expansion of ultrasonic and evaporative technologies, enhanced focus on health-oriented indoor air quality.
Rising construction activity is expected to further support growth in the air humidifier market. Construction activity encompasses tasks that consume time and resources and are performed by teams to deliver built assets. Humidifiers are particularly useful on construction sites and in finished buildings during dry seasons when heating systems lower indoor humidity; mitigating dry air helps avoid dry skin, respiratory irritation, and static buildup. For instance, Eurostat reported that construction production in April 2025 rose by 3.0% in the euro area and by 2.5% in the EU compared with April 2024. Therefore, expanding construction activity is contributing to market growth for air humidifiers.
Manufacturers are concentrating on advanced humidification solutions to enhance indoor comfort and air quality. These next-generation devices aim to maintain optimal humidity levels, reduce health problems linked to dry air, and improve respiratory comfort while limiting germ proliferation. For example, in September 2023 Smartmi launched the Evaporative Humidifier 3, designed to improve air quality and user convenience with mist-free natural humidification, a 5 L tank, 350 ml/h output, smart controls, and ultra-quiet operation-addressing common indoor dry-air issues and elevating comfort.
In May 2025, Madison Air, a US-based privately held company, acquired Research Products Corporation (RPC) for an undisclosed amount. Through this purchase, Madison Air intends to broaden its indoor-air capabilities by integrating RPC's expertise in humidification, dehumidification, air purification, filtration, ventilation, and full indoor-air-quality systems. Research Products Corporation is a US-based provider of healthy-air solutions for residential and commercial settings, including air humidifiers.
