Global wearable air purifier market is anticipated to grow at an exponential CAGR of 10.3% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The market growth is driven by the increasing cases of airborne diseases, increasing pollution, and multiple incidences of wildfires. Additionally, the launch of new products with improved technology is also contributing to the market growth. Moreover, mass production will decrease the prices of the product and hence will subsequently increase the volume. This coupled with more user-friendly and lightweight, offering longer battery life will further augment the market growth.
The global wearable air purifier market is segmented by type (neck hung and mask), by technology (high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) and air ionizer), and by regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
Market Dynamics
- The mask air purifier segment is anticipated to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental growth is attributed to the rising importance of mask air purifiers, and increasing natural disasters including wildfires smog, and bad air quality in most urban cities across the globe.
