Humidifier Market Size To Reach $7.40 Billion By 2030

Humidifier Market Growth & Trends

The global humidifier market size was estimated at USD 7.40 Billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.73% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing respiratory infections from prolonged exposure to dry air drives the need for these devices. In addition, maintaining the right humidity levels to prevent infections highlights the significance of using humidifiers. These devices help lower the chances of airborne pathogens surviving and spreading, which improves patient safety. Furthermore, in several regions of Europe, the cold and dry winters often lead to discomfort and health problems due to the lack of moisture in indoor air.

Therefore, humidifiers are crucial devices for addressing these issues and enhancing respiratory health and overall comfort during the winter season. Consequently, increasing awareness about indoor air quality continues to boost the overall market growth. Furthermore, the market is anticipated to witness significant growth due to the increased use of smart, connected humidifiers controlled via smartphones in residential settings. The ongoing industrialization and a growing focus on maintaining a healthy work environment are also projected to drive the adoption in various industrial sectors, such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and automotive. Humidifiers are becoming essential devices across various industries where maintaining optimal moisture levels is critical.

In the healthcare sector, for instance, hospitals are prioritizing patient comfort, and this is achieved by incorporating various medical ventilators, often equipped with humidifiers. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the importance of infection control in healthcare settings. Maintaining optimal humidity levels became a key strategy for reducing the survival and transmission of airborne pathogens, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus. As a result, the product demand increased in healthcare facilities to enhance infection prevention measures. In addition, since COVID-19 primarily affects the respiratory system, it led to a surge in patients requiring respiratory support during the pandemic.

Hospitals and intensive care facilities have adopted the use of these devices to deliver hydrated air to patients undergoing mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy, which enhances their comfort and the effectiveness of their treatment. The key market players are adopting strategies, such as collaborations, acquisitions, partnerships, and product launches, to expand their global footprints and product portfolio. For instance, in February 2023, DRI-STEEM Corporation, a manufacturer of products related to humidification, evaporative cooling, and water treatment, added the Adiatec ultrasonic humidifiers as a new addition to their line of evaporative cooling and humidification solutions.
