The Humidifier Market is forecast to reach $4.2 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2021 to 2026.
Humidifier Market Overview
The Humidifier Market is forecast to reach $4.2 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2021 to 2026. Humidifiers are devices that emit water vapour or steam into the room to increase the moisture levels in the air humidity. Humidity levels in the air depend on the season like in the summer humidity levels will be higher and during winter they tend to be low. Ideally the humidity levels in the air should be between 30% and 50% below or above this level can cause problems like in low humidity Dry Skin and Itchy Eyes and in high humidity Respiratory problems and develop allergies. Evaporative Humidifier systems are used for commercial purposes like in shopping malls or departmental stores and they are also used for residential purposes. The Covid-19 driven demand for medical ventilators will drive the adoption of ultrasonic humidifiers in the short term.

Humidifier Market Segment Analysis - By Humidifier Type
There are different types of humidifiers are available and it should be used depending on the climatic conditions and there are cool-mist humidifiers and warm-mist humidifiers. Warm-mist humidifiers allow the moisture to reach highest level and they also kill the bacteria with steam. Cool-mist humidifiers on the other hand use air filters to remove impurities. Central Humidifiers dominate the market with share of 30.5% share in 2020. The significant usage of humidifiers for sleep apnea applications will in particular drive the market growth. Sleep Apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly starts and stops. Untreated sleep apnea causes major health issues leading to chronic disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, stroke and obesity. Hence, increase in the prevalence of sleep disorder across the world would eventually increase the demand of sleep apnea devices.
Humidifier Market Segment Analysis - By Installation Type
Humidifier installation is done in two ways fixed and portable. Fixed humidifiers work with a building heating and cooling systems to add needed moisture to the air as it circulates. This segment is set to dominate the market with a share of 66.9% in 2020. They are installed between the supplies and return air ducts and works with HVAC system. Types of fixed humidifiers are bypass, fan-powered and steam humidifiers. Portable humidifiers are standalone appliances which adds moisture directly in to the air of the room they are situated in. Types of portable humidifiers are Vaporizers, Ultrasonic and Evaporative and each use different technology to add moisture.
Humidifier Market Segment Analysis - By Geography
Asia-Pacific air humidifier market is set to dominate the market in the forecast period reaching 36.2% by 2026. India, China and Japan are the countries which led to deployments of humidifiers across these regions due to rapidly growing pollution levels in this countries and deteriorating air quality both indoors and outdoors. The shift in consumer lifestyles and rising demand for advanced medical products will in particular drive the humidifier market. The demand in for particular rising for ultrasonic humidifiers and evaporative residential humidifiers is expected to grow rapidly. The climate change driven temperature variations as well as increasing implementation of smart homes equipped with automated humidifiers and other temperature moderation equipment will drive the market in North America and Europe and is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market.
Humidifier Market Drivers
Government Regulations Driving The Market Growth
Government institutions and policy makers globally are increasing efforts to successfully to create the awareness among public. Respective governments and market players are investing aggressively on advertisements and awareness creating campaigns to reach the public. Government and various international organisations are suggesting guidelines to maintain healthier living environment indoors. These guidelines are helping in creating awareness among public as a result more people are opting for humidifiers for safety purposes.
Automotive Industry Driving The Market Growth
Automotive Industry is one of the major driving factors of humidifiers across all regions. Especially its manufacturing applications will have a wide array of facilities and spaces for different purposes. Each facet from procurement of raw material to end process they require absolute humidity control to safeguard the product quality and safety and wellness of employees. To protect employees from ingesting chemicals, dust, bacteria and other particles there has to relative humidity control.
Humidifier Market Challenges
High Maintenance Cost
One of the major challenges faced by humidifier sales market is regular high maintenance of these devices. If not maintained properly humidifiers can emit harmful elements which lead to respiratory problems. Due to high maintenance cost of these devices a lot of people have been restricting their usage in household and commercial spaces. These devices are embedded with sensors and sensitive electrical components which is a hindrance to regular cleaning. These are the reasons behind the slow growth of market.
Humidifier Market Landscape
