Portable Air Purifier Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The incorporation of advanced technologies in air purifiers is notably driving the portable air purifier market growth, although factors such as the presence of counterfeit products may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the portable air purifier industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Portable Air Purifier Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global portable air purifier industry growth is the incorporation of advanced technologies in air purifiers. For instance, the use of plasma technology to eliminate airborne contaminants for purifier capture while lowering the possibility of surface contamination is anticipated to fuel market expansion. The availability of air purifiers for outdoor environments is expanding due to the rising popularity of small, portable air purifiers that are about the size of a travel mug. The creation of portable air purifiers with displays for temperature, humidity, and air quality is anticipated to help the market expand. In August 2020, LG Electronics unveiled the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier, which provides both indoor and outdoor clean and fresh air. Similarly, in February 2022, IIT Delhi start-up, Nanoclean Global, launched the world's smallest wearable air purifier, claiming it is as effective as a non-oil 95 (N95) face mask. Such factors will drive the market growth in the forecast years.
Key Portable Air Purifier Market Trend
Rise in awareness of diseases caused due to air pollution in countries such as the US is one of the key portable air purifier market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. The majority of the human body organs and systems are affected by air pollution. Air pollution can cause and aggravate conditions such as cardiovascular disease and ischemic heart disease. Air pollution negatively impacts the neurological, digestive, and urinary systems. Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution has also been linked to an increase in all-cause mortality. Air pollution has led to an alarming rise in the prevalence of various respiratory disorders such as COPD, asthma, and lung cancer. Such factors have propelled the need for portable air purifiers, which will drive market growth in the forecast years.
Key Portable Air Purifier Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global portable air purifier industry growth is the presence of counterfeit products, especially in developing regions. The demand for counterfeit products is increasing owing to their low cost, as they are made of low-quality raw materials and have less durability. The penetration of e-commerce also facilitates the distribution, sales, and reach of counterfeit products. Hence, the availability of counterfeit products adversely affects the sales and pricing strategies of market vendors by diluting their market shares and damaging their reputation. Advertising and promotional campaigns help key vendors retain and attract customers and ensure their loyalty toward brands. However, such promotional activities are expensive and reduce the profit margins of vendors. Thus, the presence of counterfeit products may limit the growth of the market during the forecast period.
This portable air purifier market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
