The global automotive air filters market size is expected to reach USD 6.74 billion by 2030 to expand at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing health concern among consumers coupled with an increase in global environmental pollution awareness is expected to drive the overall market over the forecast period. Additionally, the presence of associations such as the Car Care Council and Environmental Protection Agency are highly responsible for spreading awareness about automotive air filters among automotive manufacturers across the globe.

Over the past few years, air pollution has reached alarming levels which are proving hazardous to human health and the environment alike. Vehicle emissions are a major contributor to these levels. This factor has forced governments across the globe to opt for strict emission regulations regarding automotive filters, which are expected to favor market growth.

Distributors play a critical role in streamlining the value chain operations for various industry participants. Companies such as ACDelco Inc., Ahlstrom, Clarcor Inc., and Hengst SE & Co. KG are integrated across the value chain. However, they depend on distributors for their sales operations. The industry illustrates integration among the raw materials suppliers; automotive air filter producers, and distributors. Distributors act as the key link between the product manufacturers and the automotive sectors and require air filters for passenger cars, light and heavy commercial vehicles, and two-wheelers.

The passenger cars segment is projected to witness a rapid growth rate in emerging economies of Greater China and India as well owing to increasing auto sales backed by the rise in disposable income among consumers. Automotive filters are increasingly replaced in commercial vehicles as they major operate in substandard conditions with the air full of dirt and particulate matter. In addition, recovering automotive production in economies such as Brazil and Mexico is expected to provide an impetus for market growth in the forecast period.
