With increasing Air pollution and people becoming
health-conscious, the air filter market is expected to have a growth at a fast
pace. Air Filters are multi-layered devices used to purify air and are made up
of polyester, cotton, paper or synthetic or organic material. Air filter Manufacturing firms are expected to meet
specific industry standards with respect to air contaminants. Air filters have
various applications like heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems,
locomotive air filtration for cabin and engine intake of air, gas turbines and
industrial sector. Based on these applications, they are categorized as HVAC
air filters, clean room air filters, gas turbine Air Filters and bag-house air
filters.
The dominant segments in the air filter market are the HVAC, HEPA
automotive and bag-house air filters. The continuous demand for HVAC air
filters are attributed to increasing commercialization and increased disposable
income leading to better lifestyles and thus increasing the demand for air
filters in the residential sector. High efficiency particulate arrestance
(HEPA) have applications in medical, automobiles, aircraft and home. They are
specifically designed to block minutest of the particles. HEPA filter play a
crucial role in the medical field because of their ability to prevent harmful
air-borne virus and bacteria from spreading infections.
Automotive air filter market is expected to have a positive impact
because of the growth in the demand for automotive production. Consumer
awareness spread by environmental associations like EPA and CCC regarding
health hazards and disorders associated to increased air pollutants can be a
major driving force in the automotive air-filter market. Bag-house filters are
devices used to clear air particulates that pollute the environment. The causes
can be due to release of gases from combustion or from commercial processes.
Emission of air pollutants can be controlled by using bag-house filters and are
used across various industries like power plants, steel mills, food
manufacturers, chemical producers. These filters have the capability to filter
out the minutest of particles with 99% efficiency.
There are different ways to use bag houses depending on the type
and size of cloth used. Different approaches can also be adopted to use various
designs in the system like depth filtration, surface filtration and compact
cartridge filtration etc. Predominantly used in Europe and Asia, where specific
cloth is used for specific applications, Bag-House air-filtrations expected to
have an increasing growth in this segment. Over half of the total market share
in 2012 was taken over by Cabin air filters which are the largest automotive
air-filter products. Inbuilt cabin filters in automobiles attributed to a major
change in pattern and innovation which led to a growth in the demand for cabin
air-filters.
OEM and Aftermarket are prominent automotive Air-Filter Industries which account for a major share of automotive air filter market
owing to increased demand for replacement intake air filters. Various
manufacturing stages lead to infecting the environment with air-borne
contaminants. Industrial air filters are used to remove these contaminants and
hence provide a safe and controlled environment. Market growth of Industrial
Air filters can be attributed to regulations and standards put forward by the
government. Effectively utilizing industrial air filters reduces consumption of
energy in various applications which result in better processes and faster
supply.
In addition to maintaining quality indoor air quality, air filters
also reduce operating costs. Technological advances focus on pressure drop and
removal of contaminants in the filter. Processes like injection molding are
employed by firms. These processes, although complex result in stable and light
weight equipment’s that have a better cost advantage due to less raw material
and lower manufacturing steps. The advantage in air filter technologies is
different media types can be employed with different environment. It ranges
from standard to sub-micron media types. Filter capacity, life and performance
can be substantially improved by employing the right fiber size, fiber spacing,
shape, pore size and paper thickness. Special resins, hot melt bonding and
urethane seals are potential materials that can protect the air-filter media
and ensure a longer life.
Major players in the Air filter market include technologically
advanced regions in USA, Europe, China and Japan. The most prominent market for
air-filters is the Asia-Pacific Region owing to the end user segments and their
wide usage. Increase in the number of construction projects and renovation
projects is one of the drivers for growth of medium-efficiency filters. Besides
the construction industry, the presence and entry of pharmaceutical players aim
at catering to domestic and export requirements. This industry thus demands for
Cleanroom applications and HVAC systems. China and India are expected to be
potential users of automotive air filters as they heavily rely on two-wheeler
and light and heavy weight transportation. Other industries that can be
potential users of Air-Filter technology are semiconductor industry, steel
industry, electronics, power and cement industry. Key competitors in air filter
market are Sogefi Group, Freudenberg Filtration Technology, Camfil, Donaldson,
Flanders, CLANCOR, 3M, FLSmidth and manym more.
