Air Purifier Sales Rise in India Amid Increasing Pollution and Winter Demand
Air purifier sales in India have surged amid worsening pollution levels and the onset of winter, particularly in Delhi-NCR and Tier 2 cities. Quick-commerce platforms like Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart report increased demand, while Amazon has seen sales double recently. The rise coincides with growing interest in other winter appliances such as room heaters and geysers. Analysts attribute this growth to seasonal changes and festive sales driving consumers to purchase early for discounts.
