South Korea, particularly cities such as Seoul, is grappling with very serious air pollution issues, including very high concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and other toxicants. This has generated strong demand for air filters in the residential and industrial markets to enhance air quality.

Market Overview

South Korea air filter is any mechanism or apparatus employed to eliminate toxic particles and impurities from air in many places such as homes, offices, hospitals, industries, and cars to provide cleaner and healthier air. The filters are usually constructed with materials such as HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air), activated carbon, and UV light, which are made according to the individual air quality requirement of South Korea's diverse urban and industrial areas. Furthermore, the regulations of the South Korean government to ensure better air quality are also favouring the adoption of air filters in houses, offices, and industries. Additionally, South Korea is also cracking down on air quality standards to control pollution and achieve international norms. Factory production facilities need to fit expensive filtration systems to limit emissions, creating demand.
