Abstract

Strict air quality standards coupled with demands from increasingly vocal employees and building tenants are forcing employers and building operators to improve air quality in their buildings. Consequently, manufacturers of commercial and industrial air filtration devices should see revitalized revenues over the forecast period.

This Frost & Sullivan report analyzes the major product markets in the commercial and industrial air filtration industry. It covers HVAC filtration, including markets for ASHRAE, HEPA, carbon filters, and filtration for industrial indoor air pollution, as well as markets for dust collectors, electrostatic precipitator filters, mist collectors, and cyclones. It tracks market trends, identifies emerging opportunities, and provides expert forecasts, giving its readers a decided edge over the uninformed competition.

Meeting End Users 'Demands and Strategic Alliances Essential for Success

"Air filtration products are becoming commodity products," states the analyst responsible for this report. Although consumers mention quality and fast delivery as important purchasing factors, many ultimately select commodity products according to price.

As a result, market participants must find the means to reduce prices without sacrificing profits while also differentiating their products from the competition. Bolstering customer service, developing customized products, and entering into partnerships and strategic alliances could help companies succeed in a tight field. This report, which surveys the competitive landscape and targets successful strategies, will enable your firm to develop the most profitable business plan.

Performance, Documentation, and Quality Checks Define Winners

"A growing number of end users are pushing manufacturers to conform to a high level of performance, with quality checks and documentation to back it up," writes the analyst. End users in the semi-conductor industry, for example, are demanding a higher level of cleanliness and efficiency from HEPA filters. Cleanroom operators are even requiring filters to block molecular contamination. Furthermore, end users expect a low failure rate and quality checks to ensure a consistent high-level performance. Air filter manufacturers will need to devote significant resources to research and development, Manufacturing, sales, and quality assurance to meet all of their consumers' needs. This report provides in-depth discussions on end-user demands, to help your company acquire and retain more clients.
