Portable Air Purifier Market Report 2026

The portable air purifier market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $14.76 billion in 2025 to $16.24 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising indoor air pollution levels, increasing health awareness among consumers, growth in urbanization and indoor living, demand for allergy and asthma relief solutions, adoption of air purifiers during public health outbreaks.

The portable air purifier market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.7 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing consumer focus on indoor air quality, growth of smart home ecosystems, rising pollution levels in urban areas, expansion of online retail distribution channels, technological advancements in air filtration efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for compact and portable air cleaning devices, growing adoption of HEPA based filtration systems, increasing preference for low noise and energy efficient purifiers, expansion of smart and connected air purifiers, growing use of multi layer and hybrid filtration technologies.

The increasing levels of air pollution are expected to drive the growth of the portable air purifier market. Air pollution involves the presence of harmful substances in the atmosphere that reduce air quality and pose risks to both human health and the environment. This rise in pollution is attributed to industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, deforestation, agricultural practices, and the burning of fossil fuels, all of which lead to an increase in harmful pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Portable air purifiers play a critical role in mitigating air pollution by efficiently removing harmful particles, allergens, and pollutants from indoor spaces, improving air quality, reducing health risks linked to polluted air, and providing a cleaner and safer environment, especially in regions with high external air contamination. For example, in April 2024, a report from the American Lung Association revealed that around 39% of the U.S. population, or approximately 131.2 million people, live in areas with unhealthy air pollution levels, an increase of 11.7 million from the previous year. As a result, the growing problem of air pollution is boosting the demand for portable air purifiers.

Major players in the portable air purifier market are introducing innovative products, such as cylindrical air purifiers, to improve air quality and meet the rising demand from consumers. A cylindrical air purifier is a compact device with a round, vertical design that allows for 360-degree air intake, offering efficient filtration. For example, in June 2024, Coway Co. Ltd., a South Korea-based household appliances company, launched the Airmega 100, the first cylindrical model that provides a cost-effective and durable air purification solution. This model specifically targets individuals affected by asthma and allergies, offering an affordable and efficient air purification option for smaller spaces. It features a 360-degree air intake that filters air from all directions, making it ideal for compact areas. Additionally, it operates quietly at just 20 dB in sleep mode, ensuring minimal disruption during rest, and includes a PM 2.5 sensor for real-time air quality monitoring, keeping users informed about their indoor air conditions.

In September 2024, Blueair, a Sweden-based manufacturer of portable air purifiers, partnered with Lanaco to enhance air purification through eco-friendly wool-based filtration technology. This collaboration combines Blueair’s advanced purification systems with Lanaco’s sustainable, wool-based filtration materials, creating highly effective air purifiers that capture airborne pollutants, allergens, and harmful particles while promoting both sustainability and improved health for consumers. Lanaco, a company based in New Zealand, specializes in developing natural fiber-based products.
