Global Air Care Market: Snapshot
Developing economies are showing a rapidly improving consumerist environment due to greater focus by globally successful consumer product brands and increasing disposable incomes of shoppers. This applies especially to the air care products market, as it caters to consumers who are concerned with cleaner air or fragrant air and have the disposable income to support this. Emerging economies such as Brazil, China, and India are therefore the key regions that air care products manufacturers need to focus on.
A driver that is boosting the need for air care products is the growing level of air pollution around the world. Regions such as Egypt and China with higher than average levels of air pollution in the form of smoke and dust are key targets for air care products sales and distribution.
The market is still, however, hindered by an overall lack of awareness regarding the modern air care products that can cater to a much wider demand and need across various regions. This factor is expected to maintain a medium level of impact on the air care product sales over the coming years. The market is also hindered by the presence of a large variety of substitute products, especially in emerging economies where the concept of air care is still new.
As a result of all the above factors, the global market for air care products is expected to progress at a CAGR of 2.6% from 2015 to 2021 in terms of revenue. The market is expected to reach US$10.29 bn by the end of 2016 and US$11.71 bn by the end of 2021.
Europe to be Topped by APAC in Air Care Product Market Value

The demand for air care products is exceptionally high in Germany, France, and the U.K., allowing many players to gather significant sales numbers in these countries.
