According to Lodging Magazine Q3 2022 report, over 5,300 hotels are in the construction phase in the U.S., totaling 629,489 rooms. This number has increased by 6% in terms of rooms and 10% in terms of projects compared to 2021. The lodging sector is expected to grow at a healthy rate owing to the significant changes in lending rates and increasing investment in new hotel constructions or renovations. In 2022, conversion and renovation combined account for 239,914 rooms across the U.S. This is expectedto further drive the demand for North American dehumidifiers. 

Drivers, Opportunities & Restraints

The refrigerative dehumidifier technology segment’s growth is also anticipated to be driven by the increasing health consciousness and awareness among the masses about maintaining indoor air quality at homes, offices, and other commercial places. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, indoor airquality is a crucial factor that triggers indoor asthma among occupants. Moreover, the presence of high humidity in the air is ideal for the growth of mold and dust mites. 

Dehumidifiers from various manufacturers have regularly witnessed product recalls owing to technical issues. These issues include overheating parts, breaking out of the fire, etc., which result in the recalling of dehumidifiers, which hampers market growth in North America.

Rising awareness among consumers regarding maintaining a healthy lifestyle at home and the workplace is anticipated to increase the demand for dehumidifiers and other humidity control systems, such as air conditioners and HVAC systems. Building owners are compelled to offer a healthier environment to corporate and residential occupants to avoid any legal hurdles that may arise due to inadequate building conditions. Moreover, corporates and other businesses ensure that IAQ guidelines are met on their premises to ensure good air quality in the workplace.

Technology Insights

“The demand for desiccant dehumidifier is expected to grow at a notable CAGR of 7.5% from 2025 to 2030 in terms of revenue.”

Desiccant dehumidifiers have gained widespread acceptance in various commercial and industrial contexts across the globe, particularly in scenarios where specific humidity levels are crucial. These systems find applications in sectors like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and storage facilities. Increasing the construction of manufacturing plants, storage areas, water treatment plants, and lithium-ion battery factories will likely boost the desiccant dehumidifier market.

The desiccant dehumidifier segment dominated the market in 2023, accounting for 56.5% of the revenue share. The expansion of manufacturing units, warehouses, water treatment facilities, and lithium-ion battery production plants is anticipated to drive the demand for desiccant dehumidifiers. For instance, companies in North America announced 172 new capital projects for supply chain operations and distribution, including
new building and facility development. This is expected to surge the demand for
dehumidifiers used in industrial facilities in the coming years.

Application Insights

“The demand for the residential segment is expected to grow at a notable CAGR of 7.6% from 2025 to 2030 in terms of revenue.”

The growth of the residential segment is significantly attributed to the expansion of industrial manufacturing over the forecast period. The growing population increases the need for processed food, clothes, medicines, and other consumer goods. The rising demand for dehumidifiers is, in turn, expected to boost the demand from the new manufacturing facilities. The market is also driven by the strategic initiative introduced by the U.S. government, which focuses on funding and strengthening domestic manufacturing. 

The industrial segment accounted for 44.6% of the market share in 2023. The demand for dehumidifiers for industrial applications is rising due to the need for precise humidity control in sectors like pharmaceuticals and food and beverage. Companies seek these solutions to ensure product quality and reduce maintenance costs. Advances in energy-efficient and smart technologies enhance their appeal, driving robust market growth.

Product Insights

“The demand for the portable segment is expected to grow at a notable CAGR of 7.5% from 2025 to 2030 in terms of revenue.”

The portable segment is expected to grow 7.5% from 2025 to 2030. These movable dehumidifiers offer the convenience of being transported from place to place without the need for permanent duct installation, though there is the option to add one if necessary. They are frequently utilized in both home settings and various commercial environments, including hotels, dining establishments, and healthcare centers. 

In 2024, the fixed segment represented 56.7% of the market revenue. Growth in water and wastewater treatment plants is also anticipated to augment the market growth over the projected period. Dehumidifiers are needed to lower the moisture content in wastewater treatment facilities because corrosion occurs when water droplets condense on metal pieces.

Country Insights

The U.S. dehumidifier market is expected to hold 88.0% of the North America market in 2024, owing to increasing population and rising disposable incomes, along with improving urbanization, which is expected to augment the food & beverage industry’s growth in the U.S. In addition, rising construction spending due to economic & industrial development and rapid population growth is expected to boost the demand for dehumidifiers over the forecast period. Dehumidifiers are essential in food and beverage applications. Excess humidity in the product causes condensation and a variety of hygiene issues. Spices, snack foods, processed meat, breweries, and confectionery products all require consistent and controlled moisture conditions. Using dry air from a dehumidifier can aid in moisture control, resulting in perfect coating and longer shelf-life of food products. Growing demand for industrial dehumidifiers is expected to drive the demand for dehumidifiers over the forecast period. 

The dehumidifier market in Canada is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period owing to rising consumption of domestically manufactured food. According to Statistics Canada, restaurant and fast-food retail food sales increased by 23.6 % and 15.6%, respectively, in 2021 compared to 2020.Diverse municipal infrastructure investments, certified site programs, and streamlined regulations fuel private sector industrial investments and expansions across Canada. 

Mexico dehumidifier market is projected to expand at a rapid CAGR of 8.1% over the forecast period.
