However air purifiers have benefits, these air purifiers need customary upkeep every four to a half year. The replacement cost of the HEPA filters is high; Consequently, these air filters are expensive to replace for customers. Most of the time, high-quality air purifiers are expensive and use filters of high quality.

These filters have a longer lifespan, but they still cost a lot to maintain. In order to reduce the cost of replacement, vendors need to come up with better solutions. Because cost-effectiveness is still a challenge, they need to make air purifiers more accessible to consumers at a lower price. Customers who are aware of the benefits of air purification demand low-cost air purifiers that can contribute to better indoor air quality. The upkeep cost is one of the variables considered by buyers prior to buying air purifiers. As a result, the high cost of upkeep is a significant obstacle that may discourage a customer from purchasing RAP. As a result, it is anticipated to impede the focus market's expansion during the forecast period.
