The air quality monitoring system (AQMS) market is experiencing strong growth, driven by rising pollution, strict regulations, IoT integration, and smart city initiatives.
Chicago, Jan. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — According to recent data from Astute Analytica, the air quality monitoring system market was valued at US$ 4,755.49 million in 2024 and is projected to attain a valuation of US$ 8,965.88 million by 2033 at a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period 2025–2033.
The growing need to collect and measure ambient air pollution in real-time is a significant factor propelling the expansion of the air quality monitoring system market. As concerns over air pollution’s detrimental effects intensify, both governments and private entities are investing heavily in technologies that provide continuous monitoring of clean and polluted air in surrounding environments. This demand is fueled by the critical importance of timely, accurate data to inform public health policies, regulatory compliance, and individual behavioral changes aimed at reducing exposure to harmful pollutants.

A report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2024 underscores the gravity of the issue, revealing that outdoor and indoor air pollution together contribute to roughly 6.7 million premature deaths worldwide each year. This staggering figure highlights the pervasive impact of polluted air on global health and underscores the urgent need for effective monitoring and mitigation strategies. Complementing this, a June 2025 report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reveals that the average passenger vehicle in the United States emits approximately 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.
Beyond outdoor pollution, rising awareness of indoor air quality hazards—such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide, and particulate matter—is driving widespread adoption of air quality monitoring systems among residential and commercial users alike. Indoor environments are increasingly recognized as critical spaces where exposure to harmful pollutants affects health and well-being. As a result, homeowners and businesses are investing in monitoring solutions to detect and manage indoor air pollutants effectively.
Trend Analysis: Escalating Wildfire Crises Fuel Demand for Advanced Smoke Monitoring Networks
The escalating frequency and severity of wildfires across many regions are driving an urgent, event-driven demand for specialized smoke monitoring solutions. As wildfires become more common and intense due to climate change and other factors, governments and public health agencies are prioritizing the deployment of dedicated air quality monitoring networks designed specifically to track smoke pollution.
In response to this growing crisis, the U.S. Forest Service has announced plans to install 500 new permanent smoke monitors nationwide by 2025. This significant expansion reflects a strategic commitment to improving air quality surveillance and enhancing resilience against wildfire-related health hazards. At the state level, Colorado’s Department of Public Health and Environment has taken targeted action by deploying 75 new PM2.5 sensors in early 2024 explicitly for monitoring wildfire smoke.
Direct Health Threats and Sensor Ubiquity Drive Particulate Monitor Demand
Ambient particulate monitors hold the largest share in the air quality monitoring system market, accounting for 30.4% of total revenue. This leading position is primarily driven by the well-established and severe health risks posed by particulate matter (PM), particularly fine particles such as PM2.5. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified exposure to these fine particulates as a major public health concern, linking them to millions of premature deaths globally each year. The widespread recognition of these risks has made monitoring particulate matter a top priority for health organizations and environmental agencies worldwide.
The direct correlation between particulate pollution and serious health outcomes—including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases—has created an urgent need for reliable and precise monitoring technologies. Accurate measurement of PM levels is essential to inform public health policies, regulatory compliance, and pollution mitigation strategies. As a result, demand for ambient particulate monitors that can detect and quantify both PM2.5 and PM10 particles continues to grow robustly.
North America Leads the Market with 39% of Revenue Share
North America remains the leading region in the air quality monitoring system market, commanding a dominant 39.30% share globally. This strong position is supported by significant public investment and forward-looking corporate strategies that address growing environmental and health challenges. Among the most critical factors driving innovation and market growth is the escalating threat of wildfires, which has prompted decisive government action and increased funding for air quality monitoring initiatives across the United States and Canada.
In 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) demonstrated its commitment to tackling wildfire pollution by allocating $53.4 million toward 132 distinct air monitoring projects nationwide. These projects focus on enhancing the detection and management of wildfire smoke, which poses severe health risks to millions of Americans. Similarly, Canada’s 2024 federal budget dedicated $15 million to establishing a comprehensive national wildfire smoke monitoring network, aiming to provide timely and accurate air quality data for communities affected by wildfire events.
Occupational Health and Productivity Drive Commercial-Grade Monitor Adoption
Commercial-grade air quality monitors are at the forefront of the air quality monitoring system market, commanding a significant 44.7% share. This dominance is largely fueled by an increasing corporate emphasis on safeguarding employee health, enhancing cognitive performance, and boosting overall productivity. As organizations recognize the critical link between indoor environmental quality and workforce effectiveness, they are prioritizing investments in technologies that can monitor and improve air quality within workplaces.
Research conducted by leading institutions such as Harvard University has provided compelling evidence that poor indoor air quality, particularly elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), can have a detrimental effect on cognitive functions. Key mental abilities, including strategic thinking, decision-making, and crisis response, are notably impaired when air quality deteriorates. This scientific insight has heightened awareness among employers about the importance of maintaining optimal indoor air conditions to support mental acuity and workplace performance.
