Market Overview
The awareness regarding the harmful effects of air pollution on human health is rising especially in developing countries. The rising adoption of air quality control systems by small and medium enterprises is proving to be a crucial factor that supports the air quality control system market growth. Increasing stringent norms, policies, and regulations with respect to pollution are encouraging the demand for air quality control systems across various manufacturing industries.
Air quality control systems provide solutions to control and handle gases, air, and contaminants in order to ensure air discharge. For maintaining the quality of air, air quality control systems involve the use of scrubbers, air filters, electrostatic precipitators, and other related products.
In March 2020, Birla Carbon U.S.A., Inc. awarded a multi-million-dollar contract to SNC-Lavalin. This contract is for the Air Quality Control Upgrade project at Birla Carbon’s North Bend Plant near Centerville, Louisiana.
The Air Quality System, formerly the Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS), is the United States Environmental Protection Agency's repository of ambient air quality data. The Air Quality System (AQS) can store data from more than 10,000 monitors.
One of the largest sources of emissions across the automotive sector is volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used as paint solvents. Excess burning amounts of diesel fuel and gasoline emit harmful by-products such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, benzene, hydrocarbons, and formaldehyde. Production of automobiles leaves a giant footprint because of materials such as rubber, steel, plastics, and glass. The growing automotive production is creating immense scope for respective air quality control systems all over the world.

Air quality control systems support the measurement and predictive analysis of the evolution of air pollution in various areas (industrial areas, urban areas, special nature conservation areas, etc.).
An air quality control system is a kind of equipment that is utilized for cleaning flue gases emitted from thermal power plants.
The Jorge Luque Combined Cycle Power Plant, a 1,660 MW thermal power project is under construction stage at Federal District, Mexico. This project is being developed by Generadora Fenix SAPI de CV and is estimated to begin commercial operation in 2024. In January 2023, the Haryana government in India decided to augment its electricity production capacity by inviting bids for setting up an 800-megawatt (MW) supercritical thermal power unit. The planned 800 MW unit is an extension of the two 300 MW units and is anticipated to enhance the state’s electricity production capacity to 3,382 MW. Thus, growing thermal power projects and expansion of existing capabilities support the requirement for particular air quality control systems promisingly.
In order to enhance the air quality control system development, respective companies can consider collaboration, partnership, and joint ventures. Furthermore, constantly changing requirements and fluctuating demands can make the existing technology obsolete very soon. This tends to intensify the competition among the major market players in the near future.
Since the count of air quality control system producers (suppliers) is very less in comparison to the count of buyers, the bargaining power of suppliers is remarkably higher as compared to the bargaining power of buyers. Owing to promising net profit margins, the threat of new entrants in the air quality control system market is observed to be moderate as of now.
Our air quality control system market report provides an in-depth analysis of the current market situation. The report covers relevant key aspects such as the key market players, competitive landscape, regional analysis, and recent trends. The analytical study on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic helps in realizing the effects on the demand and supply side. The segmental analysis provides a distinct overview of particular types, end uses, and applications.
COVID-19 Impact:
Before the COVID-19 pandemic began, numerous industry verticals such as automotive & transportation, building & construction, and energy & power were growing at a considerable rate all over the world. However, due to various restrictions and limitations, the mentioned industry verticals were impacted drastically. Workforce unavailability, logistical limitations, and other restrictions disrupted the operations across most of the manufacturing sector.
To limit the spread of the virus, numerous non-essential gatherings and activities were temporarily restricted. All the respective measures reduced anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) substantially. Satellite sensors witnessed reductions in tropospheric column concentration of carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide emissions in China by 12% and 48%, respectively. Since air was not getting contaminated to a very high extent, the requirement for air quality control systems remained considerably low. The closure of industries also impacted the aftersales services in the air quality control system market.
Due to financial uncertainty, people avoided all non-essential expenses. This affected the demand for air purifiers in various parts of the world. Thus, the air quality control system market was adversely impacted by the demand as well as the supply side.
Based on application, the global air quality control system market is segmented into tunnels, air terminals, public transportation systems, underground garages, air pollution control, automobile, and others. The air pollution control segment held the largest market share in 2023.
