swirling in their homes and wildfires ablaze in a number of regions that compromised the air quality in their path of destruction, air purifiers saw market growth of 57 percent, according to research by the consulting firm Verify Markets. And that growth is only expected to continue with the worldwide air quality monitoring system industry predicted to reach $5.9 billion by 2026, up from $4.4 billion in 2021. Alongside this rise in popularity of air purifiers comes new tracking technology housed within the products, which means we’ll soon be monitoring air quality the way we’ve long used fitness trackers for personal health metrics.
