The air humidifier market size is projected to reach US$ 5.36 billion by 2031 from US$ 3.49 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.50% in 2023–2031. The integration of energy-saving features and eco-friendly air humidifiers is likely to remain a key air humidifier market trend.
The growing prevalence of airborne diseases such as sinusitis, asthma, and other allergies is expected to augment the air humidifier market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, the increasing demand for smart connected humidifiers is the key trend positively impacting the market growth. Numerous vendors are focusing on developing innovative product designs and technologies in the air humidifier market. The technologically advanced air humidifier offered by numerous vendors can function autonomously for longer hours. These humidifiers are ideal for delivering uninterrupted, clean air with optimum humidity. For instance, the US-based air purifier manufacturing company Airdog announced the launch of a new product called Airdog MOI, an advanced mold and bacteria-free humidifier. The well-designed Airdog MOI delivers several breakthrough technologies that resolve general humidifier issues of spreading bacteria and mold. A humidifier adds moisture to the air and averts dryness in the environment. The majority of humidifiers are used in cold places where the rooms have been dried out and also aid in virus removal from the places. Increasing awareness among end-customers about diseases such as sinusitis, asthma, and some allergies is anticipated to boost the demand for humidifiers during the forecast period. Humidifiers also have wide-ranging applications in hospital, industrial, and residential markets. Further, affordability and energy efficiency are propelling the growth of ultrasonic humidifiers in the market.
An air humidifier is an air conditioning equipment that upsurges the moisture level of air in an entire building or a room. Commonly, for the humidification of a single room, residential humidifiers are used, while to deliver humidity to the entire household, the whole-house or furnace humidifiers are connected to a household's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Air humidifiers are also available for industrial, commercial, shopping complexes, institutional buildings, and others. Humidifiers help reduce indications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Air humidifiers also help keep indoor plants safe when the temperature of the outside setting is low or below the standard temperature, which is essential for plant growth.
Furthermore, in some European countries, government guidelines are very stringent regarding the maintenance of humidity. In such countries, it is mandatory to maintain humidity, oxygen, and light for the packaging, manufacturing, warehouse, filling process, and other industrial and commercial sectors, which is also accountable for boosting the growth of the global air humidifier market growth. For instance, according to the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers based in England, the recommended relative humidity range is 40 – 60% in air-conditioned and dwellings buildings, and the levels of humidity in the range of 40 to 70% are suggested for the workplace environment.
Increasing health awareness among consumers is predicted to drive the growth of the air humidifier market. The growing health consciousness among a large portion of the population impacts industry demand. Humidifiers can avert dry skin, loosen congestion, lessen the spread of germs, and relieve asthma and allergy symptoms, among others. According to Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM's) survey in 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic has made approximately 57% of customers worldwide more concerned about their general health and wellness. Therefore, the growing prevalence of increasing health awareness among consumers health worldwide boosts the market growth.
Urbanization has resulted in the rise of concrete jungles with little natural green places. As a result, the quality of indoor air suffers, with pollutants and allergens frequently trapped within buildings. Air humidifiers provide a practical answer by cleaning and moistening the air, making indoor environments more comfortable and healthier. With rising pollution levels, particularly in densely populated places, the demand for air humidifiers is expected to skyrocket, creating a massive opportunity for market expansion.
