Global Air Purifier Market: Market Scope and Benefits
Posted by Andrew Thomas on February 26th, 2019
The air quality inside houses and offices can be worse than the outdoor environment. This is because most homes and closed spaces do not have proper ventilation and areas with improper ventilation are capable of trapping pollutants such as dust particles, dust mites, viruses, and bacteria. The air quality in your home is very important and investing in a good air purifier system can improve one’s breathing, blood circulation, and immune system.
According to a global air purifier market analysis carried out by Research on Global Markets, the global air purifier market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 5.2% and reach approximately USD 6.18 Bn by 2023.
Below are a Few Benefits of Using an Air Purifier in Houses and Workspaces:
1. Mold: Mould is a kind of fungus which needs warmth, moisture, and food to grow. They accumulate in areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. Mould leads to allergies, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Air purifiers trap spores in their filters and prevent them from reproducing.
2. Asthma attacks: Asthma reactions are instigated by sensitivity to certain allergens Asthma triggers can include dirt, dust particles, air fresheners, smoke from cooking, carbon monoxide, hairsprays, and perfumes. Tiny airborne particles can cause damage to those who suffer from asthma. Due to this, air purifiers can remove microscopic impurities to prevent asthma attacks. Using HEPA air filters, improving indoor ventilation and dehumidifying the air can reduce indoor air pollution.
3. Pets: Saliva, urine and sweat glands form pet dander and can stick to the furniture and carpets. Much of the pet dander is invisible to the naked eye and ca ignite allergic reactions. A HEPA filter can capture pet dander down to 0.3 microns and remove pet odor as well.
4. Tobacco and cigarette smoke: breathing in cigarette smoke can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, coronary heart disease, asthma, and pneumonia. Cigarette smoke can pollute the air, and contaminate the indoor area which can be difficult to remove. Second-hand smoke can contaminate the air and is very harmful to children as their lungs are not fully developed as compared to adults. Senior citizens who are exposed to second-hand smoke are at a higher risk of dementia. Air purifiers with HEPA filters and activated carbon are ideal in attracting and encasing smoke.
5. Allergies: Pollen, dust, and dirt are so small that we do not even realize when they enter the house. Itchy eyes and skin, running nose, swollen lips, coughing sneezing and dark circles under the eyes are symptoms of allergic reactions. Air purifier’s work quickly to help remove airborne particles from the air relieve allergies quickly.
6. Improved mood: As one is breathing in clean air, they are bound to less agitated and in a good mood. Air purifiers use ionizers which produce negative ions, which causes positive moods and lessens seasonal depression.
Though there are many ways to improve the circulation of air in the house, such as installing more windows or fans, air purifiers can circulate the air about six times a day and free the house from dangerous particles stuck on the surfaces and walls.
