Air Quality Apps Market Report 2025

The air quality apps market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.0 billion in 2024 to $1.12 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The growth during the historic period is attributed to escalating urban air pollution, heightened public awareness of health issues, increased use of smartphones and mobile apps, expanded media attention on environmental concerns, and a surge in government initiatives for air quality monitoring.

The air quality apps market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The projected growth during the forecast period is driven by increasing demand for real-time environmental data, a rise in climate change-related events, broader adoption of IoT and wearable devices, heightened emphasis on personalized health and wellness, and stricter air quality regulations and compliance requirements. Key trends expected include the integration of IoT sensors, progress in AI and machine learning technologies, advancements in mobile app platforms, development of tech-enabled wearable devices, and enhanced integration with smart home systems.

Rising air pollution is expected to drive the expansion of the air quality apps market in the coming years. Air pollution, defined as the presence of harmful substances in the atmosphere that negatively impact health, the environment, and climate, is primarily caused by vehicle emissions. These emissions release dangerous gases and particles that accumulate and degrade air quality. Air quality apps help combat this issue by offering real-time data on pollutant levels, issuing alerts for high-risk zones, and providing guidance on protective measures. This enables individuals and communities to minimize exposure and make well-informed decisions. For example, in March 2025, the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs reported that indoor wood burning by households was responsible for the majority of domestic combustion emissions, contributing 11% of total PM2.5 and 6% of total PM10 emissions in 2023. Consequently, the rise in air pollution is fueling the growth of the air quality apps market.

Leading companies in the air quality apps sector are focusing on innovations such as hyper-local air quality monitoring to deliver real-time, personalized insights and predictive analytics that enhance public health and environmental awareness. Hyper-local air quality monitoring involves measuring pollution levels in very small, specific areas such as neighborhoods, streets, or individual buildings using high-resolution sensors that provide accurate, real-time pollutant data. For instance, in April 2025, Air Aware Labs Ltd., a technology firm based in the UK, introduced AirTrack, a new app offering real-time pollution tracking and personalized health alerts. This app tailors pollution data to individual activities and locations, helping users limit their exposure to harmful pollutants and improve health and athletic performance. By doing so, it empowers people globally to make better decisions about the air they breathe for enhanced well-being.

In September 2022, Google LLC, a US-based technology giant, acquired BreezoMeter Ltd. for $200 million. This acquisition aims to strengthen Google’s environmental AI capabilities by delivering accurate, real-time, hyperlocal air quality and pollution data that supports public health, sustainability, and informed decision-making worldwide. BreezoMeter Ltd. is an Israel-based climate tech startup that specializes in air quality applications.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.

Air quality apps are mobile or web-based applications that deliver real-time data, forecasts, and alerts regarding air pollution levels and environmental conditions. They enable users to track pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide, helping them make informed choices to safeguard their health and plan outdoor activities.

The primary devices for these apps are mobile phones and tablets, although they can also be accessed via web browsers, wearable gadgets, and smart home systems. Mobile applications run on platforms such as iOS, Android, and Windows, offering features such as live air quality tracking, health risk assessments, notifications, pollution forecasts, and personalized guidance. They serve a wide range of users, including individuals, businesses, government agencies, and industrial organizations, making them valuable across personal, professional, and public domains.
