Panel Filters Market Report 2026

The panel filters market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.1 billion in 2025 to $6.48 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing air pollution levels, growth of residential construction activities, rising awareness of indoor air quality, expansion of commercial buildings, demand for engine protection and equipment longevity.

The panel filters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.26 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stricter air quality regulations, growing adoption of HVAC systems, rising demand for energy efficient filtration solutions, increased focus on sustainable and reusable filters, expansion of smart building infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for high efficiency air filtration solutions, rising adoption of reusable and washable panel filters, increasing use of synthetic filter media, expansion of panel filters in non residential buildings, higher focus on indoor air quality improvement.

The declining air quality levels are expected to drive the growth of the panel filters market going forward. Indoor air quality refers to the condition of a building’s interior and exterior air. Contaminants in indoor air include dust, pollen, fibers, metal or wood particles, hair and animal fur, bacteria, and microorganisms. These pollutants can negatively affect health by irritating the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as causing headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Panel filters are employed to purify air in workspaces or homes by reducing air pollution. For example, in May 2025, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a US-based government agency, approximately 66 million tons of pollutants were emitted into the atmosphere in the United States in 2023. Therefore, worsening air quality is fueling the growth of the panel filters market.

Major companies in the panel filter market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as advanced air purification systems, to deliver efficient air purification with user-friendly features, addressing air quality concerns in both compact and larger spaces. Advanced air purification systems are highly effective devices designed to eliminate airborne pollutants, allergens, and harmful particles using multi-stage filtration technologies, thereby providing improved air quality for various environments. For example, in October 2024, Secure Connection Ltd., a China-based electronic goods company, launched the Honeywell Air Touch V1 and Air Touch V5 air purifiers. These models incorporate multi-stage filtration systems, including pre-filters, H13 HEPA filters, and activated carbon filters, ensuring effective removal of airborne pollutants, allergens, and odors. Designed for both compact and larger areas, these purifiers offer quiet operation, energy efficiency, and smart features such as real-time PM2.5 level indicators, touch control panels, and Wi-Fi connectivity for enhanced air quality management.

In September 2024, R-Zero Systems, a U.S.-based biosafety technology company, acquired SecureAire for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enhance R-Zero's decarbonization capabilities, assisting its customers in reducing energy consumption and achieving climate regulations and net-zero emissions objectives. SecureAire is a U.S.-based company that specializes in air purification equipment, including panel filters.
