Car Air Purifier Global Market Report 2024

The car air purifier market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.95 billion in 2023 to $2.16 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. In the historical period, the growth in car air purifier demand stemmed from several factors, including heightened air pollution, increased automotive demand, technological advancements, a growing older population, economic upsurge in emerging markets, and improved disposable income and living standards.

The car air purifier market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.13 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. Forecasted growth in car air purifiers is driven by increased car sales prioritizing safety, higher allergy prevalence, climate changes, heightened demand due to COVID, and urbanization. Major trends include tailored purification for electric vehicles, antimicrobial filters for safety, technological advancements, and strategic partnerships.

The anticipated escalation in atmospheric pollution levels is poised to drive the expansion of the car air purifier market in the coming years. Pollution levels, quantified by the air quality index, serve as a crucial metric in daily air quality reporting. Car air purifiers play a pivotal role in safeguarding passengers from airborne contaminants, facilitating the purification of polluted air to ensure a cleaner in-car environment. Notably, in June 2022, The Economic Times reported that Indians might experience a reduction of up to 5 years in life expectancy due to air pollution. The South Asian region is responsible for nearly half (52%) of the projected global lost life years attributed to elevated pollution levels. Consequently, the substantial pollution levels underscore the anticipated surge in demand for car air purifiers throughout the forecast period.

The upward trajectory of allergic conditions is expected to be a key driver for the growth of the car air purifier market in the foreseeable future. Respiratory allergies stemming from various sources such as pollen, dust, mold, and pet dander are exacerbated by contaminated indoor and outdoor air. Car air purifiers are essential for protecting individuals from pollutants during travel. As per projections from the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, a non-profit organization, by the year 2025, one out of every three individuals in the European Union is anticipated to be affected by allergies. This surge in respiratory allergies is set to stimulate demand for car air purifiers, positioning them as a vital solution. Consequently, the prevalence of allergic conditions is poised to positively impact the growth trajectory of the car air purifier market.

The prevailing trend of technological advancements stands out as a significant factor driving the car air purifier market. Leading companies in this sector are actively introducing novel products infused with innovative technologies, including dual technology, to cater to the evolving demands of end customers and maintain their competitive positions. An illustrative example is Tata Motors, an India-based automotive manufacturer, which, in August 2022, unveiled the Air-o-Pure 95 Air Purifier. This cutting-edge air purifier incorporates an Active Carbon HEPA filter and UV-C light, contributing to improved air quality by eliminating volatile organic compounds, viruses, bacteria, and filtering out harmful smoke. The device's aesthetically pleasing design allows seamless integration into the cup holder of any Tata vehicle, showcasing a commitment to both functionality and design.

A noteworthy trend gaining traction in the car air purifiers market is the focused development of air purification systems tailored specifically for electric vehicles. Major players in the car air purifier industry are actively diversifying their product portfolios to fortify their market presence. For instance, in October 2022, Audi, a prominent Germany-based automotive company, revealed its venture into an urban air purification system designed for electric vehicles. This innovative system enables electric vehicles, inherently zero-emission, to actively filter the city's air as they navigate through urban environments. Distinctive features include a replaceable filter that can be conveniently changed during regular vehicle servicing. Furthermore, the system operates passively, filtering the air without electricity consumption, and can also actively clean the air when the electric vehicle is plugged in. This strategic approach underscores a commitment to environmental sustainability and aligns with the evolving needs of the automotive market.

In December 2021, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) sanctioned the acquisition of Forbes Enviro Solutions by Lunolux Limited, a UK-based investment hub under AI Global Investments. The undisclosed deal expands Lunolux's presence in the car air-purifier sector. Forbes Enviro Solutions, a subsidiary of Eureka Forbes Limited in India, specializes in water purification systems, air filtration systems, and vacuum cleaners.
