One of the most efficient pleated filters are permanently charged electrostatic, which effectively capture the unwanted particles in the air. Pleated filters have MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating from 5 to 12 and even some times higher.  

Air-quality is rapidly deterioting all around the globe as a result of excessive human activities. In most of the densely populated metropolitian cities in the world, the air quality index indicates poor quality of air and consumers are being exposed to high risk of respiritory diseases. Consequently, the demand for pleated air filters have significantly increased in recent years and expected to further rise rapidly on the back of rising air pollution and health hazards releated to it.

Regional Analysis:

The pleated filters market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be fastest growing region in the market on the back of rapid urbanization and growing awareness in the developing countries such as India, and China. Air quality has been severely deteroited in developing countries as well as many developed nations. As per NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center, the air quality has far crossed the WHO safelimits in many Asia-countries. For instance, Bangladesh’s PM 2.5 average is 4 times higher than safelimits. As per WHO report on most-polluted cities by particulate matter concentration, 9 cities out of top 10 are Indian cities, which is an alarming call of Indian consumers as well as law makers. The rising awareness regarding the air quality and its health impacts is expected to rapidly increase the demand for pleated filters in the region. North America and Europe have the most number of air purifing units (both commercial as well as household) in the world. The modest increase in this number is expected over the forecast period as more penetration of pleated air fiters is likely in relatively less developed countries. Nevertheless, replacement of used pleated filters is anticipated to dominate the demand for pleated filters in the upcoming years. Middle East & Africa is poised to witness moderate growth in demand over the forecast on the back of relatively developed countries such as GCC countries. Latin America is expected to witness steady growth as the it continues to struggle on social, economic and political outfront.
