The global residential air filter market was valued at $3.5 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $7.1 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2031.
A residential air filter is a device used for removal of airborne particles, microorganisms, and pollutants which are hazardous to the ecosystem and health. Such particles include a wide variety such as germs, bacteria, viruses, fibers, mold, pollen, powder and dust etc. Air filters operate by drawing unclean air from surrounding areas, which then passes through its filter medium consisting of fine openings. The unwanted particles which are larger than the openings are caught in the filter medium and separated from the surrounding air. After this, the air leaves the filter with considerable reduction in particle content. Residential air filters can be found in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems as well as air conditioners. They also need to be replaced on a regular basis in these equipment. Residential air cleaner are required in houses because the indoor air quality can be of a degraded nature due to variety of reasons such as vehicular traffic, urbanization, and lack of proper heating and cooking stoves.
The residential air filter industry is expected to witness growth during the forecast period, owing to growth in the sales of HVAC systems and air conditioners. Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems have been a household staple in western countries for a long time. On the other hand, air-conditioners are far more common in Asia-Pacific region. However, both the equipment are sold in large numbers globally in all regions. The market for these equipment is fairly well-established and results in consistent sales every year. The market is also expected to be driven by increase in policies and awareness to maintain indoor air quality (IAQ). Indoor air quality (IAQ) comprises of various types and sources of pollutants inside residential buildings. It is an important cause of premature deaths and diseases in developing economies. Indoor air pollution has immediate as well as long-term effect on occupants, which has gained the attention of governments. Laws and regulations to maintain indoor air quality have been announced by governments of many countries. This is expected to boost the market for residential air filters. Furthermore, the degradation in air quality is also expected to provide an impetus to the residential air filter industry. In current scenario, both indoor and outdoor (ambient) air quality has degraded due to urbanization and rapid industrialization, and residential air filters help improve this air quality by cleaning the air through HVAC systems, air-conditioners and other relevant products.
Meanwhile, the market is restrained by high initial capital requirement and operational costs. Residential air filters encounter high initial costs on account-of the amount of material required to provide efficient filtration. However, such highly efficient filtration media also resists the free flow of air through HVAC systems. This in-turn increases energy consumption by HVAC equipment. On the other hand, the opportunity during the forecast period lies in higher focus on use of nanotechnology for residential air filters.

Key players operating in the residential air filters industry temporarily witnessed a slowdown, owing to lack of availability of raw materials, which has led to decline in revenues for the financial year 2020 to 2021. However, it is expected that the market will recover from 2021 and remain in the growth stage during the forecast period. The period which immediately followed the government’s covid-19 pandemic related restrictions on people’s movements witnessed increased sales of air conditioners, specifically in Asia-Pacific. This has been a result of economies bouncing back following the pandemic-induced slowdowns, ultimately benefitting the residential air filters market.
The residential air filter market is segmented into Filter Type.
The residential air filter market size is segmented on the basis of filter type and region. On the basis of filter type, it is fragmented into HEPA filters, activated carbon filters, fibre glass, bag filters, and others. The fibre glass segment dominated the residential air filter market share in terms of revenue in 2021. However, the activated carbon filters segment is expected to expand at a higher growth rate during the forecast period in the electronic residential air filters. Gases like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are very small and not trapped by HEPA air filters. Hence, homes facing VOC problems are encouraged to use activated carbon air filters. This is a major driving factor for this type of air filter. VOCs is a large category which includes gases and cigarette smoke, as well as chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene.
In terms of region, Asia-Pacific dominated the market with the largest share in 2021. However, the LAMEA region is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific has dominated the global market on account-of high economic growth in the past decade. Infact, Asia-Pacific is now considered as the growth center of the global economy owing to its large population base and strong economic growth in comparison to other regions. This has led to increased living standards among the people of that region, which has spurred the residential air filter market. However, rapid urbanization and industrialization will drive the growth of the market in LAMEA region.
