The United Kingdom air purifiers market is expected to witness a robust growth during the forecast year owing to the increasing number of cases of air borne diseases and rapidly increasing pollution level in several cities of the country. Moreover, with the rising awareness about health hazards of air borne diseases and changing lifestyle of consumers with the increasing per capita income is further expected to drive the market growth of air purifiers in the country.
An air purifier ensures the filtering of the indoor air in a closed environment, which it captures and delivers clean air. Air purifiers clean the air, which may contain toxins, allergies, and pollutants.
As per the data provided by UK Health Security Agency in 2022, the most recent estimation is that, due to the long-term exposure to polluted air, United Kingdom is witnessing 29,000 to 43,000 deaths in adults aged between 30 and over. Moreover, according to the government of the United Kingdom, nitrogen dioxide pollution which is the most harmful pollutant should not exceed 40 micrograms per cubic meter of air. But in 2021, 10 of the 43 national reporting zones in the United Kingdom the levels of nitrogen dioxide exceeded the permissible limit which were twice in comparison with 2020. Thus, with the rising pollution level and increasing number of deaths, the air purifier market is expected to witness a rising growth.
Air pollution can harm the eyes, nose, throat, lungs, and respiratory system as well as the heart and blood vessels that supply blood. Increased incidence of asthma, changes in lung function, coughing, wheezing, and breathing difficulties as well as an increase in respiratory and cardiovascular hospital admissions and death, can all result from short-term exposure (over hours or days) to polluted air. Owing to cardiovascular disorders, respiratory conditions, and lung cancer, exposure to polluted air over extended periods of time (years or lifetimes) might result in a decreased life expectancy. Moreover, according to the United Kingdom Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, air pollution affects the brain which causes dementia and cognitive decline, various birth related issues, for instance, low birth weight and developmental problems. Thus, resulting in increased demand for air purifiers in the country.
