Global Air Humidifier Market is valued approximately at USD 3.7 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5% over the forecast period 2024-2032. A humidifier is a device designed to increase the moisture level in the air within a room or an enclosed space. It works by emitting water vapor into the air, thus raising humidity levels to achieve optimal comfort and health. The humidification process can alleviate various discomforts caused by dry air, such as dry skin, irritated nasal passages, and sore throats. Moreover, humidifiers can also benefit indoor plants, wooden furniture, and musical instruments by preventing them from drying out and cracking. The market for humidifiers exists primarily to address the needs of individuals and environments where low humidity levels pose problems, especially during dry seasons or in regions with naturally arid climates. As people become more aware of the importance of indoor air quality and its impact on health and well-being, the demand for humidifiers continues to grow, leading to ongoing innovation and advancements in the industry.
An increase in diseases such as asthma, sinusitis, and other allergies owing to dry air has created awareness among customers about maintaining specific humidity in the air by using humidifier appliances. In addition, the low humidity in the air makes breathing less laborious and can also cause lung secretions in infants. This is one of the key reasons that customers rely on air humidifiers during the winter months as low humidity causes asthmatic cough. Whereas therapy using an air humidifier adds moisture to the air, thus, preventing dryness in the skin, throat, nose, irritated vocal cord, dry cough, and cracked lips. Also, low humidity causes discomfort in the home in the winter season and when air conditioners are used during the summer season. Therefore, these are the health-related factors that are expected to drive the air Humidifier Market growth during the forecast period.
However, high maintenance cost of advanced humidifiers and availability of alternative air purification technologies are the key factors that are substantially halting the growth of the market globally. The rapid change in lifestyle, growth in concern toward a healthy environment, and surge in living standards are creating a high demand for air humidifiers in the residential sector. In addition, smart connected humidifiers via smartphones for the residential sector are expected to boost air Air Humidifier Market demand. The rise in industrialization and growth in concerns regarding a healthy work environment is expected to boost the adoption of humidifiers in industrial sectors such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and automotive. Silent operation along with less maintenance is the prime factor driving the ultrasonic air humidifier industry growth in the residential and commercial segment.
The United States Department of Labor has set certain rules, standards, and regulations for humidity control and temperature control in the industrial workplace. This helps prevent fatigue and dry air diseases among workers and provides a healthy work environment. In addition, these regulations are also followed by other countries with certain modifications according to the suitable temperature and atmosphere in that country. Moreover, the European Union has set guidelines for maintaining humidity, light, and oxygen for the packaging manufacturing, filling process, warehouse, and other commercial and industrial sectors.
The key regions considered for the global Air Humidifier Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America held the major air Humidifier Market share in 2023, particularly owing to the vast presence of manufacturers and product promotion from regulatory bodies such as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) which is expected to further drive the market growth. In addition, LAMEA is expected to witness a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Major players in the industry, including Levoit, Honeywell, Stadler Form, Crane, Koninklijke Philips N.V., and Flextronics International, continue to introduce new products and compete based on factors such as performance, design, and brand reputation. As a result, the Air Humidifier Market in North America is expected to remain dynamic and competitive, with opportunities for further innovation and market expansion during the forecast period. Whereas, the market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period fueled by escalating concerns over indoor air quality, particularly in urban areas plagued by pollution. Rising disposable incomes, coupled with growing health consciousness, have led to increased demand for products that enhance respiratory health and overall well-being. Additionally, the prevalence of dry skin conditions due to climatic factors is boosting the adoption of humidifiers in the region.
