In the pursuit of better indoor air quality (IAQ), mechanical air filters play a crucial role in trapping various contaminants, including micro-organisms, air-polluting materials, dusts, pollen, mold, bacteria, virus, and fibers. These filters operate at the micrometer scale, effectively capturing particles down to a specific size. Ensuring optimal IAQ is essential for mitigating respiratory health concerns associated with airborne pollutants. Filters with a MERV 13 rating are particularly effective in trapping smaller particles, enhancing IAQ significantly.
Moreover, the use of mechanical air filters addresses the need for cleaner air in both residential and commercial settings. From homes to offices, ensuring high IAQ is paramount for occupant well-being. Moreover, in sectors like healthcare and manufacturing, where contamination control is critical, these filters play a vital role in maintaining sterile environments. Considering the PESTEL factors (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal) impacting IAQ regulations and standards, the demand for efficient mechanical air filters continues to grow, driven by a collective commitment to healthier living and working environments.
Key Driver
The growth of the distributed power generation base is notably driving the market growth. Gas-powered turbines consume a significant amount of atmospheric air to combust fuel as they are usually installed in harsh environmental conditions. The presence of natural pollutants, such as agricultural pollutants, dust, pollution due to chemical refining, and saltwater spray near coastal areas, can directly impact the efficiency of gas turbines. Therefore, operators prefer to install air inlet filtration systems to protect gas turbines from such air pollutants. The use of HEPA filters not only protects gas turbine blades from polluted air but also eliminates the need for offline water wash, subsequently reducing the overall downtime during the operation of gas turbines.
The power industry is transitioning from centralized systems towards an integrated network with increasing reliance on distributed power generation systems. Distributed power technologies have high flexibility and are well suited for a wide range of applications, such as electric power, propulsion, and mechanical power. The growing need for distributed power generation facilities has led to a rise in the demand for gas turbines and HEPA filters in the power generation industry, thereby, fueling the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Significant Trend
Increasing oil and gas pipeline activity is an emerging trend in the market. The oil and gas industry has become a key end-user of HEPA filters with the growing need for efficient air handling systems across mid-stream and downstream activities. The expansion of oil terminals globally has increased the need for gas turbines and HEPA filters are used for providing quality air for gas turbines. Oil terminals are used for storing crude oil and petroleum products and serve as centers for oil and gas transportation, thereby supporting the oil and gas supply chain. Therefore, the expansion of oil terminals has a direct impact on the demand for HEPA filters.
Transporting oil by rail, road, or ship is expensive and requires frequent trips. However, with pipelines, the transportation of oil and gas can run continuously and can be ramped up or shut down at any time. Pipelines have been the most preferred mode of oil and gas transportation. The rising global consumption of oil and gas is expected to increase new oil and gas pipeline construction activities during the forecast period.
Major Market Challenge
Slow growth in nuclear power generation is the major challenge impeding market growth. Nuclear power generation uses radioactive gases that require efficient air filters, such as HEPA filters, rendering them highly indispensable in nuclear plants. However, renewable power generation sources, such as hydro power, are gaining traction in the power generation industry owing to their ability to generate large-scale electricity with minimal carbon emissions. Countries such as the US, Japan, France, and Germany, are moving away from nuclear power plants, mainly owing to safety concerns related to nuclear power plants. Japan, in particular, which has been a major market for nuclear power generation, is now turning to other power generation sources, substituting nuclear energy with coal and gas after the Fukushima disaster
Similarly, in the US and the UK, cost overruns of nuclear power generation projects have led to huge losses for companies in the nuclear power generation industry. Therefore, this will result in a slowdown in the use of HEPA filters in nuclear power generation and will restrict the growth of the regional HEPA filters market during the forecast period.
