Surface Analysis Market Driver: Surge In Concerns Over Indoor Air Pollution Fuels Growth Of Air Quality Control System Market

Growing concerns about indoor air quality are expected to propel the growth of the surface analysis market. Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the quality of the air within and surrounding buildings and other structures, with a focus on how it affects the comfort and health of building inhabitants. Indoor air quality (IAQ) concerns are increasing due to various factors including the emissions from building materials, furniture, cleaning products, and cooking appliances, inadequate ventilation in buildings, and outdoor air pollution intrusion. Surface analysis plays a crucial role in mitigating indoor air quality (IAQ) concerns by identifying and quantifying the presence of pollutants and contaminants on various surfaces within indoor environments. It can pinpoint the sources of indoor air pollutants by identifying areas of microbial growth, accumulation of dust and particulate matter, or residues from cleaning products or building materials. For instance, in December 2023, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization working to promote health, household air pollution was linked to an estimated 3.2 million annual fatalities, including approximately 2,37,000 deaths of children under the age of five in 2020. Additionally, in April 2023, according to the American Lung Association, a US-based professional organization, 119.6 million Americans, or almost 36% of the country's population, continue to reside in areas with unfavorable ozone or particle pollution ratings. Therefore, the growing concerns about indoor air quality will drive the growth of the surface analysis market.
