The goal of this study is to provide an understanding of recent trends in the IAQ industry and their impacts on various market segments. Specifically, this report attempts to determine the size of the overall IAQ market and its subcategories such as IAQ equipment and technologies, IAQ consulting services, and environmental services.
 
The report also defines and outlines the end-use market segments and settings that are expected to absorb most of the IAQ equipment and services. In addition, this report discusses the indoor air contaminants that are of highest concern in these end-use markets, including mold and other biological contaminants, allergens, airborne pollutants, and radon.
 
The author of this study tried to provide insights into three main areas:

(1) How large is the overall IAQ market and how much growth can be expected?

(2) Which subcategories of the industry are going to see the most growth, which the least, and why?

(3) Which settings and end-use markets hold the greatest potential for future growth of which types of equipment and services.
 
In an effort to answer these questions, the author discusses many aspects of the IAQ market.  Aside from discussing the equipment, technologies, instrumentation, and environmental services market, this report also covers, in detail, the contaminants of highest concern, recent research related to these contaminants, regulations and guidelines concerning these contaminants, and the ventilation or systems needed to remove them from the indoor environment, as well as many other issues related to IAQ. The report also discusses the settings and end-use markets of interest, including homes, commercial buildings, schools, and hospitals, as well as the reasons why IAQ is of great concern in each setting, contaminants specific to each setting, and equipment or methods that might alleviate the specific problems.
 
For this reason, this study should be of interest to many parties, including manufacturers of IAQ equipment such as air cleaners and purifiers, ventilation systems, heating ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, and replacement filters. IAQ consultants and testing agencies, mold remediators, asbestos abatement contractors, and radon mitigation service providers should also find it useful. Finally, this report should be of interest to building owners and operators who are concerned about their indoor environments and are interested in learning about methods of control and emerging technologies designed to solve specific problems.
 
This report is confined to covering IAQ issues of concern to residential homes, commercial buildings and light industrial properties, schools, and hospitals. The report does not discuss IAQ issues relevant to heavy industry and manufacturing environments, nor does it cover IAQ issues, practices, equipment, and regulations concerning confined spaces or aircraft. However, it does discuss, in detail, the equipment and services that are most relevant to private homes, office buildings and retail establishments, schools, and healthcare facilities. The equipment covered includes air cleaners, HVAC equipment, HVAC replacement filters, and IAQ instrumentation. Environmental services such as consulting and remediation and recovery are also covered in detail.
 
The report first covers trends and information related to the overall IAQ market. It then goes on to discuss the equipment subcategory of the industry and breaks that down into sections on each type of equipment. Next, the report will cover the consulting and testing industry subcategory and then the environmental services industry subcategory. Under each subcategory, technologies, trends, market value, and growth are discussed. From there, the report covers the end-use markets including residential dwellings, commercial buildings, schools, and hospitals. Each setting is discussed in detail including specific contaminants, problems, and solutions, as well as the types of equipment and services appropriate to each.  

This Report:

• Develop forecasts for the U.S. market, providing data for 2008 and projections for 2009, and forecast the market and its compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2009 to 2014
• Characterize the market in subcategories: The equipment market, including products such as air-cleaning equipment, HVAC replacement filters, and instrumentation; the consulting and testing services market; and environmental services, including mold remediation, asbestos batement, and radon mitigation
• Detail the end-use markets, including residential dwellings, commercial buildings, schools, and hospitals
• Provide detailed company profiles.
