The Smart Air Purifier market spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic to an estimated value of $8.5 billion. But due to potential regulations surrounding air quality and the growing size of vulnerable populations, this market will likely continue to expand, a recent Research and Markets‘ report says.
This makes for a continued annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2% over the next four years.
Aging Population a Primary Factor in Air Purifier Market Growth
With the Baby Boomer generation approaching retirement age, the senior population of the United States is expected to reach 80 million in 2040, which would be double what it was at the start of the century.
This presents a larger portion of the population that is far more vulnerable to the negative health affects of poor air quality, according to the report, which is highlighting a far greater need for these devices in the future than what is present in the current day.
In addition, rising awareness regarding the health affects and consequences of air pollution is driving various companies to develop more and more advanced, and niche, air purification solutions. According to Research and Market, the continued growth has also been facilitated by the near unanimous adoption of connected home appliances across the world.
