Global Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System Market Trends, Forecast Report 2025-2037
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System Market size is projected to increase from USD 5.52 billion to USD 10.28 billion, reflecting a CAGR of over 4.9% during the forecast period, from 2025 to 2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of ambient air quality monitoring systems is estimated at USD 5.74 billion.
According to UNICEF 2021, air pollution accounted for 8.1 million deaths globally, including children below five years of age, registering itself as the second leading cause of death. It further states that air pollution caused the deaths of over 700,000 children under five years in the same year. Rising levels of air pollution and growing awareness of the health risks associated with poor air quality have increased the demand for ambient air quality monitoring systems. As concerns grow about the impact of air pollution on human health, governments and environmental agencies around the world are enacting regulations to monitor and control air pollution. As per 2022 WHO, a recorded number of over 6000 cities in 117 countries are now monitoring air quality.
Furthermore, the growth of the ambient air quality monitoring system market is been fueled by the adoption of the smart city. The Smart Cities Mission launched by the Government of India was extended till 2025 with 100 cities completing 7,188 projects, making 90% of total projects, and amounted to approximately USD 17.31 billion as part of the mission. These smart cities demand the utilization of advanced technology and data analytics to manage and optimize urban infrastructure, such as ambient air quality monitoring, to tackle the severely increasing air pollution due to dust, construction materials, lack of greenery, and clean water bodies.
According to the World Health Organization April 2022, 99% of the global population breathes air that exceeds WHO air quality limits and threatens health. In June 2020, Siemens Mobility Limited partnered with air quality experts EarthSense to launch the Zephyr air quality measurement system for traffic management applications, as road transport significantly contributes to urban pollution. Furthermore, in June 2024, the India government inaugurated the Indigenous Air Quality Monitoring System (AQ-AIMS) and launched the Air-Pravah App during World Environment Day, as a cost-effective, ‘Make in India’ solution. Initiatives like these are boosting the expansion of the market significantly, drawing several more initiatives and investments.
