An air humidifier is a type of air conditioning appliance that adds moisture to the air in a room or throughout a building. Residential humidifiers typically humidify a single room, whereas furnace or whole-house humidifiers are connected to a home's HVAC system to provide humidity throughout the entire house. Air humidifiers help to keep an electric environment safe by effectively reducing static electricity, which is a major issue for compact discs, computer storage devices, and other electronic equipment.

Product Trends
"The portable segment accounted for the largest market share."
The market is segmented as portable and whole house. The portable air humidifier accounts for the largest market share in 2022, owing to its ease of use, installation, and mobility. These humidifiers are ideal for small rooms and use less energy, which has a positive impact on market statistics. On the other hand, the demand for ultrasonic humidifiers is expected to grow at an 8% annual rate over the forecast period. Ultrasonic humidifiers use high-frequency vibrations to send moisture into the air and do not require a filter, which reduces operational costs. Cost-effectiveness, compact size, and energy efficiency are key features that will drive the segment growth. Smart, innovative portable humidifiers with advanced features are being introduced by market players.
Sales Channel Trends
