The global humidifier market size was estimated at USD 4.43 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.73% from 2024 to 2030. Increasing awareness about the health benefits of maintaining optimal humidity levels, such as reducing the incidence of respiratory issues, virus infection, dry skin, and sinus problems, is driving demand for humidifier. This is particularly evident in regions with dry and arid climates or significant seasonal variations, where dry indoor air is a common issue. The increasing incidence of respiratory diseases such as asthma and allergies has led to a greater emphasis on maintaining optimal humidity levels, thereby driving the market for humidifier. According to the American Lung Association, Asthma affects around 24.8 million population in the U.S., including over 5.5 million children, causing millions of emergency department visits and tens of billions in healthcare costs annually.

 The humidity level in the air can affect the survival and transmission of pathogens, including viruses and bacteria. When the air is too dry, some pathogens can remain viable for longer periods, making it easier for them to spread. Maintaining humidity within the recommended range, typically between 40% and 60%, reduces the viability and transmission of infectious agents. This is because, in air with relative humidity (RH) above 40%, airborne viruses within droplets become less stable and are more likely to deactivate quickly, making them less infectious. Thus, the ability of humidifier to play a vital role in infection control in hospitals by helping to maintain the appropriate levels of humidity in healthcare environments drives the overall market growth.
