[198 Pages Report] The Portable Air Purifier Market size was estimated at USD 5.72 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 6.39 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 11.93% to reach USD 12.60 billion by 2030.

A portable air purifier is a compact, mobile device designed to enhance indoor air quality by removing contaminants by using advanced filtration technologies such as High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters, activated carbon filters, and Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI). These devices primarily reduce common airborne irritants such as dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The superior filtration capabilities, proven effectiveness, and compliance with stringent industry standards have improved the deployment of HEPA filters for portable air purifiers. Most portable air purifiers are equipped with advanced sensors that detect various pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and harmful gases, including carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), to combat the rising levels of air pollution across the globe. Portable air purifiers use multiple filtration technologies to control airborne pollutants effectively. The limited filter efficiency, high maintenance requirements, and issues of malfunctioning portable air purifiers limit product penetration worldwide. However, introducing advanced filtration technologies, incorporating smart features, and developing energy-efficient and compact design models are expanding the availability and use of portable air purifiers worldwide. In addition, the growing presence of portable air purifiers on online channels to cater to the increasing demand for clean indoor air is expected to provide growth opportunities for the portable air purifier market in the coming years.

Technology: Growing popularity of HEPA-based portable air purifiers

Activated carbon has the properties of trapping & removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and coarse particles such as dust, pollen, animal dander, and other allergens from the air. High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) air purifiers are intended to remove 99.97% of all 0.3 microns or more harmful pollutants. HEPA filtration technology filters capture different-sized particles within a multi-layered netting of fine fiberglass threads with varying-sized gaps. Furthermore, an air purifier with ultraviolet light (UV) technology is designed to apply short-wave ultraviolet light to inactivate airborne pathogens and microorganisms such as mold, bacteria, and viruses. Negative ion technology leverages electrical charges to purify indoor air by releasing negatively charged ions into the environment. Ionizers in air purifiers use negative ions to remove small positively charged particles such as dust, gas and smells and help reduce odors. Ozone generators are designed to intentionally produce ozone gas (O3) as a means of air purification to neutralize odors, prevent mold and bacteria growth, and break down volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Distribution: Significant online penetration of portable air purifiers

Offline distribution channel for portable air purifiers is the traditional way of distribution at hypermarkets and specialty stores. At the same time, an online distribution channel sells portable air purifiers through the internet and helps analytical buyers purchase air purifiers after a reasonable search. Hypermarkets or supermarkets allow customers to select air purifiers of their choice. On the other hand, specialty stores provide a personalized experience to the customer for buying air purifiers, which come with knowledgeable staff that helps the customer purchase air purifiers by explaining the features of products. Furthermore, online distribution channels can sell portable air purifiers via company-owned or e-commerce websites and enable the delivery of air purifiers quickly and at a reduced cost. Additionally, both company-owned and e-commerce websites provide home delivery and offer discounts, membership reward cards/points, and replacement of damaged gadgets with new ones.

Application: Accelerated deployment of portable air purifiers across commercial sectors

Several portable air purifiers are preferred in commercial spaces such as offices, meeting spaces, and business centers. Commercial end-users prominently use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) and carbon-based systems to reduce or remove contaminants in commercial areas. Educational and shopping centers’ air purifiers supplement the HVAC system to protect people, products, and processes from viruses and bacteria and reduce energy consumption. Hospital-grade portable air purifiers offer HEPA filtration to create the healthiest indoor air quality and are helpful in clinical spaces to reduce the risk of acquiring respiratory viruses that are transmitted through aerosols. Moreover, hotels and recreational facilities require specialized portable air purifying equipment to deal with chemical fumes, volatile solvents, sprayed substances, and powders that may contain known carcinogens and unpleasant odors. Furthermore, portable air purifiers for residential use are a system of internal fans that pull the air in the home through a series of filters that eliminate harmful airborne particles such as dust, pollen, and bacteria.
