The global automotive in-cabin air quality improvement solutions market size was USD 1.85 billion in 2020. The market is projected to grow from USD 1.94 billion in 2021 to USD 4.87 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 14.1% in the 2021-2028 period. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with witnessing a negative impact on demand across all regions amid the pandemic. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a huge decline of 14.7% in 2020 as compared to the average year-on-year growth during 2017-2019. The rise in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.


As the atmospheric air quality is lowering due to various harmful contaminants, bacteria, and viruses, the demand for automotive in-cabin air quality improvement solutions is rapidly increasing worldwide. These solutions are employed in passenger as well as commercial vehicles for air filtration to maintain hygiene and prevent the driver and passengers from harmful viruses and bacteria. Additionally, the quality of air inside the vehicle is poor as compared to the quality of the air outside the vehicle cabin. Therefore, manufacturers are focused on the development of advanced automotive in-cabin air quality improvement solutions for their upcoming automotive models.


Various types of solutions are employed for automotive in-cabin air quality improvement, including HEPA filter-based solutions, HVAC systems with built-in solutions, and others. Increasing demand for hygienic in-cabin experience is propelling the popularity of these solutions among OEMs and aftermarket solution providers. Moreover, an increasing number of health-conscious populace due to pandemic situations is also likely to fuel the demand for these solutions worldwide.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Negative Impact of COVID-19 on Global Automotive Sales to Hamper Market Growth


The coronavirus pandemic shrunk the economic growth of major countries due to the government-mandated lockdowns, movement restrictions, and curfews, which also captiously impacted the automotive industry globally. Therefore, disruption in automotive production & sales coupled with the extensive social distancing guidelines disrupted the automotive in-cabin air quality improvement solutions market growth. 


For instance, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), overall global automotive sales dropped from 90 million units in 2019 to 78 million units in 2020.


Nonetheless, a quick recovery is anticipated in the following years due to increasing medical concern and health awareness amongst the population post-pandemic. The ability of these air quality improvement solutions to prevent impurities, bacteria, and viruses from entering the automotive cabin is expected to fuel the automotive in-cabin air quality improvement solutions adoption post-pandemic.
