Guidehouse Research Estimates Global Market for Air Quality Technologies in Commercial Buildings Will Grow to Nearly $419 Billion by 2033

Health awareness, which surged after the COVID-19 pandemic, is key market driver

BOULDER, Colo., July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Guidehouse Research explores the global market for indoor air quality (IAQ) technologies in commercial buildings.

Fueled by tightening regulatory standards and technological advances, the global market for air quality technologies in commercial buildings is expected to experience steady growth in the next 10 years. According to a new report from Guidehouse Research, the global value of the IAQ in commercial buildings market is expected to be $161.8 billion in 2024, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1% to $418.9 billion in 2033.

"With growing awareness of the link between poor indoor air quality and respiratory health issues, IAQ technologies are becoming a top priority for building owners and occupants," says Bitania Yemane, research analyst with Guidehouse Research. "Solutions like humidifiers, dehumidifiers, heat recovery ventilators, energy recovery ventilators, air purifiers, and sensors are now essential across all types of commercial buildings, from hospitals and educational institutions to offices, warehouses, and retail spaces."

The largest driver of the commercial IAQ technologies market is health awareness, prompted by the public's understanding of IAQ's impact on health, which surged after the COVID-19 pandemic, driving the demand for improved IAQ technologies in commercial buildings. Building standards, such as WELL and Europe's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) have pressured businesses to seek building certifications so that they can improve customer satisfaction, help ensure occupant safety and health, and meet corporate sustainability targets. Technological advances, such as innovations in IAQ monitoring, sensing, and advanced ventilation systems, are creating more energy efficient solutions, helping to increase adoption especially in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Barriers to growth include high upfront costs and the lack of regulatory mandates across regions; global inconsistencies in regulations, especially for multinational manufacturers and providers, pose significant challenges, according to the report.

The report, Indoor Air Quality in Commercial Buildings, examines the global market for air quality technologies and devices in commercial buildings. Analyses for commercial IAQ equipment, segmented by newly constructed and retrofitted buildings and technology type, cover the 10-year outlook period of 2024-2033. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Research website.
