The global air filtration media market is expected to reach $5,347.6 million in 2026, from $3,573.0 million in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2019 to 2026. Air filtration media is used for air filtering & purifying in different industries such as automotive, healthcare, and manufacturing. The major benefit of air filtration media is that the user can eliminate the particles & pollutants, and control the air quality within the house and any other indoor premises for healthy environment.
Rise in awareness about the ill effects of air pollution on health is encouraging various air filter manufacturers to pursue a better product in the market. The increase in need to remove fine airborne particles and germs from every corner of commercial spaces, offices, and homes including the living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom is the fundamental driving force behind the demand for other types of air filtration media in the global market. However, some air filter media such as disposable and replaceable filters adds extra cost to the users. Such factors are expected to hamper the market growth in the near future.
Moreover, the laws and regulations such as Vehicle Air Pollution Control Act, and Environmental Protection Law enforced by the various governments for controlling emission & air pollution for protection of environment are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market. Furthermore, the large competitors tend to acquire small firms and businesses to increase and expand their market share by minimizing competition. For instance, in March 2018, Calgon Carbon Corporation was acquired by Kuraray Co., Ltd. The aim of acquisition was to increase the carbon filter media materials business with a focus on activated carbon, and other filtration media for automotive applications.
