Automotive Air-Conditioning Filters Becoming Important in COVID Times

Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA) estimates that 55,834,456 units and 21,787,126 units of cars and commercial vehicles, respectively, were manufactured across the world in 2020. As the sales of air conditioner filters are directly proportional to automobile production, a surge in it will create a huge requirement for them in the coming years. Moreover, the rising customer need for comfort in vehicles will fuel the integration of AC systems in automobiles.

Additionally, the surging implementation and awareness of safety and health regulations will facilitate the automotive air-conditioning filter market growth in the years to come. Such filters clean the air inside automobiles and prevent the entry of pollutants, such as mold spores, dust, smog, and pollen, into the cabin. With the mounting air pollution levels, automobile manufacturers are increasingly incorporating air-conditioning filters in their passenger cars, heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), and light commercial vehicles (LCVs), to offer comfort to their customers.

Automotive Air-Conditioning Filter Market


At present, the automotive industry is procuring air-conditioning filters from DENSO Corporation, Hastings Premium Filters, Hengst SE & Co. KG, Scania AB, Robert Bosch GmbH, Momentum USA Inc., Baldwin Filter Inc., Freudenberg Filtration Technologies SE & Co. KG, MAHLE GmbH, Sogefi Group, ALCO Filters (Cyprus) Ltd., Donaldson Filtration Solutions, K&N Engineering Inc., Champion Laboratories Inc., ACDelco Inc., and MANN+HUMMEL GmbH. These companies are currently focusing on introducing innovative filters to boost the comfort level and keep microbes out of the vehicles, especially in these times of the pandemic.

According to P&S Intelligence, Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to dominate the automotive air-conditioning filter market in the upcoming years. This will be due to the increasing production of automobiles in India and China, rising disposable income of people, and developing infrastructure. For instance, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) states that India produced 3,062,221 units of passenger vehicles and 624,939 units of commercial vehicles in financial year 2020–2021. Furthermore, as per the OICA, 19,994,081 cars and 5,231,161 commercial vehicles were manufactured in China in 2020.

Thus, the booming passenger car, LCV, and HCV sales, increasing implementation of vehicle safety and consumer health regulations, and burgeoning demand for energy-efficient HVAC solutions will fuel the installation of air-conditioning filters in automobiles.
