Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System market size was valued at USD 5.52 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 10.28 billion by 2037, expanding at around 4.9% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of ambient air quality monitoring system is evaluated at USD 5.74 billion.
The market size of ambient air quality monitoring systems was USD 5 billion. 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. The International Energy Agency reports that in 2020, there were over 4,000 ambient air quality monitoring stations in operation worldwide.
Furthermore, the growth of the ambient air quality monitoring system market is been fueled by the adoption of the smart city owing to the utilization of advanced technology and data analytics to manage and optimize urban infrastructure, such as ambient air quality monitoring. Integrating ambient air quality monitoring systems into smart city initiatives enables real-time monitoring of air quality, providing valuable insights for decision-making. Asia-Pacific is the largest and fastest-growing market for smart city initiatives, accounting for over 40% of global spending in 2022, according to an IDC report. Europe and North America are also important markets for smart city initiatives, with combined spending expected to exceed USD 60 billion in 2022.
Growth Drivers
Challenges
High Cost of Installation - Although the cost of ambient air quality monitoring systems has come down over time, installation and maintenance costs are still relatively high, especially for the more advanced and sophisticated systems. This can make it difficult for smaller organizations and communities to adopt these systems. This might pose a challenge to the growth of this market in the forecast period.
