Rising Respiratory Illnesses Driving Home Humidifier Demand in North America

Press Release

San Antonio, Texas, July 16, 2025 -- A new analysis by Verify Markets on the North American Portable Humidifier Market shows the market was valued at $682.0 million USD in 2024 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 4.0 percent from 2024 to 2031.

The humidifier market is experiencing robust growth, supported by multiple converging demand drivers. Rising health consciousness, growing awareness of indoor air quality, and an increase in respiratory illnesses, particularly in North America, are fuelling residential adoption. Regulatory support through HSA/FSA eligibility is expanding medically driven purchases, while advancements such as smart features and connected devices are accelerating uptake. Additionally, strategic channel expansion and macro-environmental factors like climate change and prolonged dry conditions continue to propel market momentum.

Despite this momentum, several challenges could constrain market growth. A cooling housing market may dampen demand, while seasonal buying patterns limit consistent year-round sales. Health and safety concerns, along with maintenance burdens and cost barriers, continue to hinder broader adoption. Additionally, shifting cross-border sentiment is reducing export opportunities, particularly for U.S. brands targeting Canada.

Ultrasonic technology and evaporative technologies stand out as the preferred options in the humidifier market. Ultrasonic humidifiers lead due to their quiet operation, energy efficiency, and ability to produce a fine, cool mist, making them especially popular in residential settings. Evaporative humidifiers remain widely adopted for their affordability and natural humidity regulation using a wick and fan system. Warm mist humidifiers, while slightly less prevalent, are valued for their ability to release germ-free steam, offering added comfort and health benefits during colder months.
