MARKET DRIVERS

“The penetration of HEPA filters in the semiconductor and microelectronics industry will escalate the market growth”

Semiconductor and microelectronics industry manufactures electronic hardware such as hard drives, integrated circuits (ICs), capacitors, resistors, etc. that pollute the atmospheric air within the working environment. HEPA filters are fitted in the cleanrooms to control the concentration of airborne dust and gases in the manufacturing industry, resulting in an increasing demand for air filters in the near future. For example, Camfil provides clean air solutions using the contamination control technology to protect sensitive electronics and optical devices from hazardous dust particles. The cleanrooms filters of Camfil help in the removal of dust, while providing energy-efficient and cost-saving HEPA filters to the microelectronics industry; this, in turn, is expected to drive the global HEPA filters market.

 “Development of Combined Cycle Gas turbine (CCGT) to drive the HEPA filters market landscape”

The increasing demand for energy generation leads to the development of a combined cycle power system that uses a gas turbine to drive the generator and also recuperates the heat generated from the turbine exhaust by producing steam and controlling the environmental dust. According to the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA), the overall efficiency of the combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) ranges from 50-60%, emitting the huge amount of pollutants, that results into the growth of high-efficiency particulate air filters market share.

SEGMENTATION

By Application Analysis

“HVAC System is estimated to drive the overall demand of the HEPA Filters market in the forecast period.”

Based on the applications, the report scope is segmented into Air Purifiers, HVAC Systems, Cleanroom Filters, Automotive Filters, and Gas Turbines Filters.

HVAC filter systems perform heating or cooling functioning for residential and commercial and industrial applications by diluting the air pollutants, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) emitted from chemicals used for cleaning, automotive heat, etc. HVAC filters create velocity pressure that improves the operational efficiency without hindering the airflow and purifies the surrounding air. HVAC delivers purified air with less energy consumption, therefore becoming a basic need for commercial spaces. HVAC filters witness high demand for hospitals, to protect the health of the patients and the employees from the airborne contaminants.

Cleanroom filters are typically used in research centers and manufacturing plants to lower the level of atmospheric pollutants. These filters have a higher demand in semiconductor and food and beverage industries that are sensitive to environmental contamination.

Air purifiers are designed to filter the air in a single room area leading to the innovation of portable air purifier, that reduces indoor air pollution. This type of portable air purifier benefits patients having asthma or other breathing health issues, hence driving the demand for indoor air purifiers.

Automotive air filters are the basic need of any vehicle as the motor generates a large amount of heat, that can be harmful for the driver, passengers, and the vehicle’s engine. Capaceon is a high-performance automotive air filter that helps in maintaining the engine temperature by filtering the heat effectively and offering 20-50% of dust holding capacity, hence enhances the HEPA Filters market trends.
