Air Care Market Trends
- Growing Air Borne Diseases coupled with the Increasing Pollution Levels in Urban Areas
One of the biggest environmental health dangers is air pollution. Countries can lessen the burden of disease from lung cancer, stroke, heart disease, and both chronic and acute respiratory illnesses, including asthma, by reducing air pollution levels. Long-term and short-term cardiovascular and respiratory health of the population will improve with decreasing air pollution levels. 2019 saw 99% of the world's population residing in areas where the WHO's recommended air quality limits were not being fulfilled. In 2016, it was projected that ambient (outside air pollution) caused 4.2 million premature deaths globally, in both urban and rural areas. In low- and middle-income nations, with the highest percentage in the WHO South-East Asia and Western Pacific areas, premature deaths accounted for 91% of all deaths. Significant reductions in outdoor air pollution would result from policies and investments that support cleaner transportation, energy-efficient dwellings, power generation, industry, and better municipal waste management. For about 2.4 billion people who use biomass, kerosene fuels, and coal to cook and heat their houses, interior smoke poses a severe health danger in addition to outdoor air pollution.
industrialization and rapid population development have raised air pollution levels by increasing the emission of harmful gases, biological components, volatile chemicals, and fine particle matter (PM). Because of their rapid industrialization and lax compliance with pollution monitoring and control legislation, developing nations (such as China, India, Brazil, and Mexico) are more affected by the rise in carbon emission levels. In the Asia Pacific region, a significant population shift from rural to urban areas is expected to exacerbate this issue. According to the UNFPA 2020 report, Asia and the Pacific account for 40% of all foreign migrants worldwide, and two out of every five residents in the region now reside in cities. As more individuals travel to towns and cities in search of employment and better prospects, this ratio will dramatically rise over the next two decades. The number of fleets of vehicles that release a substantial amount of polluting gases has also doubled as a result of urbanization. Refrigerators are a major source of chlorofluorocarbon emissions in homes (CFCs). A huge market for portable air purifiers for improving indoor air quality and air cooling has emerged due to growing awareness of the harmful health impacts of indoor air pollution. In the next years, rising desire for a healthy lifestyle, particularly among urban young, is anticipated to significantly contribute to the expansion of this market.
