India Air Purifier Market- Overview

An air purifier or air cleaner is a device that is used for removing harmful pollutants and contamination from air to make it breathable. Simply put, it improves indoor air quality. Due to deteriorating air quality, air purifiers have become a necessity in today's world. Air purification can provide a number of health benefits, such as soothing asthma symptoms, eliminating unpleasant odors, and eliminating hazardous particles of Asbestos. Moreover, and breathing in clean air can extend life expectancy. India's pollution problem is getting worse by the day. 22 of the world's 30 most polluted cities are located in India, and Delhi is among the top 10 most polluted capitals, with around 54,000 pollution-related deaths in 2020 – or about one death per 500 city dwellers. Due to the current sorry state of affairs in the country, air purifiers have become essential for survival.

India Air Purifier Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Deteriorating Air Quality Levels and Its Influence on Health

IQAir, a Swiss air quality technology company, reports that India had the third-worst air quality out of 106 countries in 2020. Increasing urbanization, industrialization, and construction activities are contributing to India's declining air quality. Air pollution can cause serious health effects, including asthma, cardiovascular risks, chronic headaches, and eye irritation. This factor is emerging as the major driving factor for the India air purifier market.

Launch of Smart Air Purifiers

Consumers' preference for smart devices with smart connectivity is expected to drive the demand for smart air purifiers during the forecast period. Smart air purifiers offer convenience, such as remote access and information about the amount of dust and pollutants in the environment. Blueair, for instance, offers smart air purifiers that can be controlled via mobile devices. Users can set the preferred time for the purifier to turn on and off, monitor the air quality in a room, and connect it to the Blueair Friend app to monitor changes in air quality.

Restraints

High Set Up Cost and Periodic Maintenance

Like air conditioners, air purifiers need a coverage area or an empty one to be set up, thereby increasing the setup cost. In addition, air purifiers need periodic filter replacements to achieve maximum efficacy, which increases their maintenance costs. Because India is a price-sensitive market, this high cost may act as a restraining factor for the air purifier market in India. Although manufacturers are launching portable and compact air purifiers to tackle the space issues, their prices are high, restricting an average Indian family from buying air purifiers.

India Air Purifier Market - By Technology

Based on technologies, the India air purifier market is segmented into HEPA technology (high-efficiency particulate air), activated carbon technology, UV technology, negative ion, and others. Among these, the HEPA technology (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) segment accounts for the largest market share. The large surface area of HEPA filters helps remove around 99.7% of the particles having a size greater than or equal to 0.3 microns. It also offers high efficiency in filtering both small and large particles. Therefore, these air purifiers are prominently used in the industrial sector, which drives its market growth.

India Air Purifier Market - By Coverage

Based on coverage, the India air purifier market is segmented into <324 Sq. Ft., 324-538 Sq. Ft., 539-753 Sq. Ft., and >753 Sq. Ft. Among these, the <324 sq. ft. segment accounts for the largest market share. It usually falls under the category of small air purifiers suited for personal spaces and rooms up to 200 sq. ft. Therefore, this coverage is highly popular in residential spaces, mainly among families living in apartments and flats in urban cities like Delhi and Mumbai.

India Air Purifier Market - Regional Insights

Geographically, the India air purifier market is segmented into North India, South India, East India, and West India. Among these regions, North India dominates the India air purifier market. Delhi is the worst affected city by air pollution in this region. The deteriorating air quality in North India is estimated to be the result of motor vehicle emissions, dust from construction sites, garbage burning, and illegal industrial activities. Therefore, the demand for air purifiers in this region is experiencing favorable trends. As the market is expected to grow during the forecast period, manufacturers are launching new products to grab the market opportunity.
