U.S. Furnace Filters Market Growth & Trends:
The U.S. furnace filters market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.44 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.4% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing awareness of indoor air quality and regular maintenance for heating systems. As more homeowners become informed about the health implications of airborne pollutants and allergens, the demand for high-efficiency filters is expected to surge. This trend is further supported by the growing prevalence of environmental regulations and standards aimed at improving overall air quality in residential spaces.
Rising construction spending in the U.S. is significantly driving the demand for furnace filters as new residential and commercial buildings require efficient HVAC systems. As construction activity increases, so does the need for advanced air filtration solutions to ensure optimal indoor air quality and energy efficiency. According to U.S. Census Bureau, in 2023, approximately 60% of newly built single family homes are equipped with forced air furnaces. These aforementioned factors are anticipated to drive the demand in the U.S. furnace filters industry over the forecast period.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the value of residential construction is fluctuating between approximately USD 935,125 million in August 2024 and USD 918,113 million in November 2024, and nonresidential construction staying relatively steady, ranging from USD 1,227,007 million in August 2024 to USD 1,234,468 million in November 2024. This level of construction activity directly impacts the demand for furnace filters in the U.S. market. As both residential and nonresidential construction projects continue to grow, there is an increasing need for HVAC systems, which include furnace filters.
The increasing awareness among homeowners and businesses about the importance of air quality and HVAC maintenance is also contributing to market growth. With the rise in construction, many builders and property owners are opting for upgraded furnace filters to meet higher indoor air quality standards. In addition, government incentives for energy-efficient buildings, such as those offered through Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), are further encouraging the use of advanced furnace filters in both residential and commercial construction projects across the U.S.
Furthermore, increasing concerns about indoor air quality (IAQ) are significantly driving the demand for furnace filters in the U.S., with both consumers and businesses seeking solutions to enhance the air quality in their indoor spaces. Government regulations, particularly those set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other bodies, play a crucial role in shaping the market demand by enforcing standards aimed at improving IAQ across various sectors.
