Spending More on Wellness & Comfort, Consumers to Drive IAQ System Sales Through 2025

by Corinne Gangloff

November 22, 2021

A new Freedonia Group analysis projects demand for indoor air quality equipment – including air purifiers/cleaners, mechanical ventilation equipment, and replacement filters – to grow an average of 2.1% per year through 2025 to $5.6 billion.

The residential market is expected to account for the greatest absolute gains due to:

  • a strong housing market and heavy investment in home improvement
  • heightened concerns about indoor air quality, partly as a result of natural disasters (like wildfires) and outdoor pollution issues
  • awareness that tightening building envelopes concentrate indoor contaminants, including airborne viruses

Health ailments such as asthma and allergies will spur homeowners to purchase or upgrade indoor air systems. Additionally, the large increase in consumer time spent at home (including to work) is expected to push investment in wellness and comfort products, as consumers increasingly seek to ways to make their homes healthier.

IAQ Gains New Importance in Nonresidential Markets in Pandemic Era

While the nonresidential market for HVAC equipment is larger in value terms than the residential market, adoption of indoor air quality equipment has not occurred to the same extent. Building owners have typically relied on central HVAC filters to provide clean air to the various parts of a building. That said, the COVID-19 pandemic has made improving indoor air quality paramount in nonresidential spaces like schools. Federal funding from COVID-19 relief bills have allowed schools to invest large amounts in their indoor air quality equipment.

Mechanical ventilation equipment is commonly used in nonresidential segments and will continue to help these markets maintain their size while demand for air treatment equipment normalizes over the next few years.
