An economic report believes that the demand for high quality air filters, specifically HEPA filters, will increase in Europe in the early years of the 2000s. Germany, the UK and France are the major market holders in the air filtration industry but smaller producers like Italy and Greece will increase production to drive up the supply. Although, the major producing countries, who have the major companies, will continue to dominate the markets. As this market becomes more competitive companies are trying to differentiate themselves by offering after sale services such as technical support and additional equipment to attract more clients. Also filtration designs have improved by innovative companies looking to improve their products. There is a lot of different applications of filters now available to customers.
