Many personal sampling products are used in houses, offices, malls, and research areas. This factor will boost the demand for personal air sampling devices in the coming years.

According to the World Health Organization, between 2030 and 2050, climate change is predicted to cause about 250,000 additional deaths per year from malaria, diarrhea, malnutrition, and heat stress. Moreover, environmental change also worsens many social and ecological risk factors for mental health.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Varying Consumer Preferences to Hamper Market Growth 

The uncertain environmental changes confuse consumers to make hasty decisions. Along with air sampling, other products are actively growing in the market. Climate change and negative environmental effects also drive these changes. Devices, such as air monitoring systems, are among the products that are replacing air sampling pumps on the market. Air monitoring systems are made for the real-time monitoring of CO2, temperature, and humidity around the consumer. These devices favor those requiring instant air data to take further action. Moreover, few HVAC and air purifier systems have air quality sensors that can analyze indoor air quality.

For instance, on November 01, 2023, Dyson India launched a cool tp10 air purifier to beat air pollution. It uses all its advanced technology over sensors to analyze indoor pollutants.

Air Sampling Pumps Market Segmentation Analysis

By Product  Analysis

Personal Air Sampling Pumps Lead Owing to its Advantages for Personal Use

Based on product, the market is segmented into personal air sampling pumps and area air sampling pumps. The personal air sampling pumps segment dominates the market, and these pumps are crucial in measuring exposure to harmful particulates, dust, and gases. These devices are applied indoors and outdoors to stay safe from environmental diseases that can spread through the available contaminants in the air. Moreover, these pumps are commonly utilized in industrial, construction, and emergency applications. Also, they help workers protect themselves and stay in compliance.

Area air sampling pumps are also among the fastest growing products in the air monitoring segment. These devices are driven by their application in industrial areas, such as manufacturing, mining, construction, and research. The rising industrial expansion is probably boosting the area sampling pump market in the forecast years.

By Flow Rate Analysis

Low Flow Rate Segment Dominates Owing to Its Applications in Real-time

Based on flow rate, the market is segmented into low flow, medium flow, and high flow. The pump must be capable of passing air through the sampler at the mandatory flow rate for a set time and constantly uphold that flow rate irrespective of temperature variations. Most air sampling applications are executed at flow rates between 1 and 5 liter/min, considered a low flow rate. Owing to these factors, low flow rate is the dominating segment in the global market. In addition, manufacturers are developing the products accordingly, considering major applications, such as low flow rates.

For instance, in January 2019, Restek, a leading provider of chromatography columns and accessories, launched a radically passive, diffusive air sampling badge for Volatile Organic Compounds. Versatile radially passive diffusive air samplers include a unique 3D radial design that delivers numerous performance progressions over the 2D flat axial air sampling equipment.

The medium flow rate is 0.5 to 5 LPM (liters per minute). Medium flow rates are usually not observed easily due to the lower number of applications in the market. Hence, it holds the minimum share globally. However, a high flow rate is considered in industrial and outdoor applications. This flow rate is usually above 5 liter/min. The flow rate is adjusted electronically or manually, depending on the sample pump used.
