Robotic Air Purifier Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Electrostatic Precipitator, Ion and Ozone Generator, Active Carbon, High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) and Other Products), End User (Commercial and Residential) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Robotic Air Purifier Market is accounted for $302 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $517 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period. A robotic air purifier is a type of air purifier that is controlled by a computer or electrical device. A robotic air purifier operates by utilising self-navigation technology, artificial intelligence, and technology capable of recognising its environment. The air-cleaning robot is capable of removing or reducing gaseous pollutants, cigarette odour, airborne allergens, and other chemical contaminants. The product's benefits include being simple to set up, providing a better experience for customers, having a straightforward design, and being extremely efficient to use.
According to the World Health Organization, air pollution is the cause of death, i.e., 46% die due to ambient air pollution and 54% die due to household air pollution.
Market DynamicsDriverRising awareness regarding indoor air quality globally
Increasing urbanisation and congestion in urban areas have increased air pollution and significantly impaired the air quality index in major cities of major economies. The use of air purifiers in residential and commercial buildings to improve air quality has seen a significant increase in nations such as India, Brazil, the United States, and others. There is a growing understanding of the importance of using these items to prevent air pollution. Global pollution raises worries about health safety and promotes demand for such items to improve indoor air quality, supporting market growth.
RestraintShort battery life
Most robotic air purifiers have a short battery life. In some cases, these air purifiers are unable to complete the cleaning process. It takes approximately 2 hours to charge and may take several hours or more to recharge. Furthermore, due to its small size, it will be incapable of holding a considerable amount of dirt. Although the popularity of robotic solutions is increasing in developing nations, consumers prefer low-cost robotic solutions over premium items with short battery life.
OpportunityAdoption of smart automated system and technological advancement
The integration of novel technologies such as sensors, Artificial Intelligence (AI) features, Internet of Things (IoT), and smart home technology has transformed air purifier robots. The market is expanding due to a trend towards smart home technology, which includes automated air purifier devices. Furthermore, the assembly of various air filters in robot devices for consumers to avoid allergies promotes market expansion. The inclusion of smart sensors to increase the effectiveness of the systems attracts a wide range of customers toward the market.
ThreatHigh product and maintenance cost
The extended benefits of air purifier robots are either standalone or coupled with robotic vacuum cleaners. These products are more expensive than standard air purifiers, limiting market expansion. For example, one air purifier robot costs between USD 499 and USD 1,299, but traditional air purifiers cost between USD 120 and USD 900. These air purifiers are equipped with cutting-edge technology, necessitating significant maintenance expenses. This is projected to slow market development and force them to utilise traditional air purifiers, restricting market growth.
Covid-19 ImpactThe COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 briefly slowed the global expansion of the robotic air purifier business. Several APAC countries, including China, India, Japan, and South Korea, implemented stringent lockdowns in Q1 and Q2 of 2020, resulting in the temporary shutdown of several firms, industries, as well as the transportation and construction sectors, among others. However, in 2021, the loosening of lockdown restrictions as a result of large-scale vaccination programmes in many nations led to the resumption of air purifier manufacturing, resulting in the slow growth of the regional air purifier market.
The High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The HEPA segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. A High-efficiency particle Air (HEPA) filter is a type of vacuum cleaner that can remove smoke, dust, and other particle matter from the air. It is extensively utilised in robot air purifiers because it is particularly good at cleaning the air, removing dust, and removing minute particles. It works best for both residential and commercial properties. While HEPA filters do emit a very small number of fibreglass particles into the air, their total impact on the human body is insignificant. These factors are likely to accelerate the market's growth.
The commercial segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The commercial segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Robotic Air purifiers are used in conference centers workplaces, hospitals, hotels and other business locations. Restaurants and hotels use air purifiers with activated carbon and HEPA to eliminate airborne, odor, and smoke particles from the air, improving the quality of the air in the spaces. Air purifiers are used in dentistry and medical offices, veterinary clinics, animal kennels, clinics, and hospitals to remove odour airborne pathogens and allergens from the air.
Region with largest shareAsia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to sturdy financial growth in China, India, Japan, and others. This provides an opportunity for important players' investment plans in these products. Moreover, the growing urban population around the world raised the demand for robotic air purifiers to enhance air quality. Furthermore, in the Asia Pacific region, customers are rapidly adopting such household products.
Region with highest CAGRNorth America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The industry is expanding as a result of increased severe regulation and increased awareness about indoor air quality. Furthermore, North America is predicted to increase significantly due to the region's rapid adoption of innovative technologies. Major players such as, iRobot Corporation and Unilever Plc have a presence in North America to increase their product offering of such products.
