Air Quality Monitoring System Market size was over USD 7.28 billion in 2024 and is projected to cross USD 25.41 billion by the end of 2037, growing at more than 10.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of air quality monitoring system is estimated at USD 7.87 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing number of pollutants in the air along with rising pollution levels. Air pollution is emerging as a significant global concern. According to the WHO data, almost 99% of the global population breathes air with pollution levels exceeding WHO guidance limits, mainly in low- and middle-income countries, which have the highest levels of pollution. To protect the environment, air quality monitoring systems are of the utmost importance. Environmental sensors are used in these systems to gather, display, and record information about air pollutants, temperatures, and humidity levels. In addition to monitoring air quality, these systems also assist in preventing and controlling air pollution.
Additionally, there are several factors anticipated to contribute to the growth of the global air quality monitoring system market, including higher levels of pollution generated by industrial operations and the extent of pollution exposure among industry workers. As part of their everyday operations, many industrial plants emit pollutants such as fine dust, acid gases, lead, mercury, sulfur dioxide, and carcinogens. Consequently, it harms the environment and the worker's health. Air quality monitors are heavily used in such industries to examine emissions, dust deposition, and chemical reactions and to measure deviations from air quality standards. Furthermore, governments across developing economies are taking steps to make industrial operations more environmentally friendly, which is expected to propel the demand for air quality monitoring systems over the forecast period.

Product (Indoor, Outdoor, Wearable)
The global air quality monitoring system market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by-products into indoor, outdoor, and wearable. Among these three segments, the outdoor segment is expected to gain the largest market share over the forecast period. The growth of the segment can be attributed to an increase in the number of outdoor air pollution sources, including emissions from vehicles, the burning of fuels, bushfire smoke, airborne dust, and vegetation-related emissions. Moreover, a variety of health problems, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, and respiratory problems, have been associated with outdoor air pollution. As per the reported data, nearly 4.2 million premature deaths worldwide were attributed to outdoor air pollution in 2019 in both urban and rural areas. The outdoor air monitoring system measures particulate matter in air pollutants, and dangerous gases such as Ozone, NO2, VOCs, and CO2, as well as assists in determining temperature, moisture, rain, wind speed, solar radiation, and noise levels. In addition, the portable air quality monitoring system market is being increasingly adopted by people for monitoring outdoor pollution, as they are easy to use, and this is further expected to drive the segment’s growth in the market.
Pollutants (Chemical, Particulate Matter, Biological)
The global air quality monitoring system market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by pollutants into chemical, particulate matter, and biological. Among these segments, the chemical segment is expected to garner a significant share in the coming years owing to the growing levels of chemical air pollutants globally. A majority of chemical pollutants are generated by transportation means such as road vehicles, trains, ships, and airplanes. They emit CO2, organic volatiles (VOCs), and heavy metals as pollutants. An air quality monitoring system measures such chemical pollutants, which can harm human health and the environment. Thus, this factor is expected to have a significant impact on segment growth in the future.

North American Market Forecast
The North American air quality monitoring system market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2037. A growing number of factors have contributed to the growth of the regional market, including the growing need to monitor weather conditions and collect rain samples as a result of increased acid rain levels in countries such as the United States and Canada. Furthermore, the rapid growth of urbanization has impacted air pollutants by expanding urban areas in a region and increasing emission levels, resulting in changes to health risks associated with air pollutants. It is estimated that more than 82% of the U.S. population resides in urban areas and that number is expected to reach 84% by the year 2050. A robust monitoring system for urban air quality in combination with government regulations regarding the implications of air quality monitoring in the region is expected to drive market growth shortly. Moreover, the rapid modernization of industrial infrastructure, the emergence of cutting-edge environmental monitoring technologies, and the presence of several major key players in the market contributing to increased competition between manufacturers are anticipated to drive market growth in North America in the coming years.
Honeywell International Inc., developed a new innovative solution for early detection of smoke while monitoring indoor air quality, further contributing to the creation of healthier and safer buildings.
Siemens AG, a technology company, has partnered with EarthSense, a leader in air quality measurement, to produce the Zephyr air quality measurement system specifically designed for traffic management.
