Humidifying equipment comprises devices employed to regulate and maintain the humidity levels within a room or space to ensure an appropriate level of moisture in the air. It serves the purpose of increasing the humidity, contributing to a more comfortable and healthier indoor environment.
The primary categories of humidifying equipment encompass warm-mist humidifiers, cool-mist humidifiers, ultrasonic humidifiers, and evaporative humidifiers. Warm-mist humidifiers, within the humidifying equipment market, are designed to generate and disperse warm and humid air, catering to applications in commercial, industrial, and residential settings. These products are typically made available to consumers through various distribution channels, which include multi-brand stores, exclusive brand outlets, online retail platforms, and other distribution methods.
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 impacting the humidifying equipment market by increasing the cost of imported ultrasonic transducers, electronic control boards, sensors, motors, and plastic housings. Manufacturers in North America and Europe are affected due to dependence on imported electronic components, while Asia-Pacific exporters face pricing pressure in overseas markets. These tariffs are increasing product costs and limiting affordability in price-sensitive segments. However, they are also promoting local assembly, regional sourcing of components, and innovation in cost-efficient and energy-saving humidification technologies.
The humidifying equipment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides humidifying equipment market statistics, including humidifying equipment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a humidifying equipment market share, detailed humidifying equipment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the humidifying equipment industry. This humidifying equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The humidifying equipment market size has grown marginally in recent years. It will grow from $4.11 billion in 2025 to $4.14 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of residential appliance usage, hospital infrastructure expansion, climate induced dry air conditions, consumer awareness of air comfort, traditional humidifier adoption.
The humidifying equipment market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.52 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart home penetration, stricter indoor air quality standards, growth of respiratory health concerns, innovation in low energy humidifiers, expansion of online retail channels. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for indoor air quality control, adoption of smart connected humidifiers, growth of healthcare grade humidification, focus on energy efficient designs, expansion of residential comfort solutions.
The rising pollution levels are expected to drive the growth of the humidifying equipment market. Pollution refers to the introduction of harmful or undesirable substances into the environment, causing negative effects on living organisms and ecosystems. Humidifying equipment helps address pollution by improving air quality, trapping and removing particulate matter, and controlling indoor pollution through maintaining optimal humidity levels, which can limit the release of indoor pollutants. For instance, in May 2023, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency, a US-based government agency, approximately 66 million tons of pollution were emitted into the atmosphere in the United States. Therefore, increasing pollution levels are supporting the growth of the humidifying equipment market.
Key players in the humidifying equipment market are focusing on creating innovative products, such as heated humidification systems, to improve comfort and support respiratory function during home mechanical ventilation. Heated humidification works by using heat to raise the temperature of water vapor, which enhances its ability to effectively add moisture to the air. For example, in August 2024, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, a New Zealand-based medical device company, launched the F&P my820 System for home mechanical ventilation. This advanced respiratory humidifier provides heated humidification for both invasive and noninvasive therapies, serving both adult and pediatric patients. The system features an innovative built-in sensor that automatically adjusts to changes in environmental temperature, ensuring optimal performance even in fluctuating conditions. Additionally, this technology helps reduce circuit condensate and minimizes device-wire clutter, making the setup process simpler for users.
In July 2024, Condair Group, a Switzerland-based industrial machinery manufacturer, acquired Kuul for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to bolster Condair's position in the evaporative cooling industry. It enables Condair to expand its product range and enhance its technological capabilities in climate control solutions. Kuul, a US-based manufacturer of humidifying equipment, specializes in producing glass fiber and cellulose media, which are primarily used in evaporative cooling systems and adiabatic pre-cooling for chillers and turbines.
