Air Quality Control System Market by Technology (FGD, Electrostatic Precipitators, NOx Control Systems, Scrubber & Mercury Control Systems), Pollutant Type (Gas, Dust, Multi-Pollutant), Product type, End User & Region - Global Forecast to 2029
The global Air Quality Control Systems Market is projected to reach USD 150.7 billion by 2029 from an estimated USD 107.4 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. Advanced technologies such as catalytic converters, particulate filters, scrubbers, and emission control devices are increasingly being deployed in industries, power plants, vehicles, and other sources of emissions to minimize their environmental impact main drivers of the Air Quality Control System industry's expansion. These days, AQCS are more and more common in the Industrial market because of their increasing pressure to comply with emission standards, reduce their carbon footprint, and invest in cleaner technologies to address climate change and improve air quality. affordability, dependability, and adaptability.
“Industrial segment is the largest segment of the Air Quality Control System market, by end user”
Based on end user, the Air Quality Control System market has been split into two types: residential & Commercial, and Industrial. The increase in Industrial establishments, such as Power Generation, cement, metal processing, oil & gas, Food & Beverage, Textile, Pharmaceuticals, and others are driving growth in the AQCS market's Industrial segment. Industries are encouraged to invest in AQCS by government incentives and growing public awareness of environmental issues.
“Flue Gas Desulphurization segment is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing segment based on Technology”
Based on technology, the air quality control system market has been segmented into Flue Gas Desulphurization, NOx Control Systems, Mercury Control Systems, Electrostatic Precipitators, Fabric Filters, and Scrubbers . The AQCS market's Flue Gas Desulphurization segment is expanding at the fastest pace because it is in line with the changing energy landscapeas flue gas desulphurization (FGD) plant removes Sulphur oxides (SOX) from the flue gas before it is released into the atmosphere. This reduces the impact on environment it works on a chemical reaction that occurs when the warm exhaust gases from the industries come in contact with limestone. This reaction removes 92% of the Sulphur dioxide from the flue gas and converts the limestone into calcium sulphate. The stringent regulations for emission of Sulphur oxides into the atmosphere have been promoting use of FGD technology.
“Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the largest region based on Air Quality Control System market market”
By region, the Air Quality Control System market has been segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, South America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. In the region, the AQCS market is expanding in Asia Pacific because of the region's rapid economic expansion, growing industrialization, and strong emphasis on the use of renewable energy. With their aggressive clean energy goals, nations like China, India, and Japan are driving the market and creating demand for AQCS for emission control activities. The region's supremacy is a result of rapid urbanisation, rising electrification, and government measures encouraging sustainable technologies. Demand for AQCS Installation is also fueled by Asia Pacific's expanding Industrial sector. The region is positioned as a key player in the global AQCS market thanks to its aggressive dedication to green energy solutions.
“Ambient is expected to be the fastest segment based on Product Type”
The Ambient is the largest segment in the Air quality control system as it focuses on managing air quality in outdoor environments, including urban areas, industrial zones, and rural regions. Ambient air pollution stems from various sources such as vehicle emissions, industrial discharges, agricultural activities, and natural events like wildfires. Human activity such as burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees, and other materials, as well as some chemical reactions can release large amounts of CO₂ into the air. This indirect approach allows for wider market coverage, efficient distribution, and targeted customer support. The technical requirements of AQCS necessitate knowledgeable intermediaries, making the Ambient channel the preferred method for reaching a broad customer base and catering to specific industry needs.
