Posted by Jack Martin on March 15th, 2023

Air filter media is a material that is used in air filtration systems to capture and remove airborne particles from the air. It is made up of a wide variety of materials, including synthetic fibers, paper, woven fabrics, and non-woven fabrics. The type of air filter media used will depend on the application and the size of the particles being removed. The most common air filter media used today are synthetic fibers, paper, and non-woven fabrics. The demand for air filter media is increasing as more people become aware of the health risks associated with airborne particles. Air filter media is used in a variety of applications, including air purifiers, air cleaners, air conditioners, ventilation systems, and more. It is also used in the automotive industry to prevent dirt and debris from entering the engine. Air filter media can also be used to reduce the level of dust, pollen, and other allergens in the air.

The global air filter media market size is projected to grow from USD 710 million in 2020 to USD 738 million by 2021, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.9% during the forecast period. Factors governing the air filter media market include growing industrialization and urbanization in the APAC region, the necessity for a safe working environment at production sites and the growing demand for respiratory devices and face masks to prevent the transmission of the Covid-19 virus.
