Automotive cabin air filter market through 2022

Manufacturers are also developing charcoal lined cabin air filter. The air filter includes activated carbon that prevents odours and helps to reduce oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide from entering the car. Cabin air filters with small fibres facilitating better protection by trapping a large amount of ultrafine particles are also on a rise.

Increasing number of replacement of automotive cabin air filter is driving the demand for new filters. Although replacement varies by manufacturers, general guidelines suggest replacing the air filter in every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. Development of customisable and polyurethane-based adhesive filters are also witnessing growth among manufacturers.

According to a study, the global automotive cabin air filter market is expected to experience robust growth, registering 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period, 2017 to 2022. Owing to the increased pollution and airborne pollutants entering the vehicle through Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system, increasing number of vehicles are integrating cabin air filters. 

Moreover, the rise in vehicle production across the globe is also driving the demand for automotive cabin air filter. Following insights show how the global automotive cabin air filter market will perform in the next five years.
