The global market for household vacuum cleaners was valued at USD 11.0 billion in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period from 2012 to 2018.

The demand for advanced technology vacuum cleaners, using high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration technology, is increasing globally. Vacuum cleaners with standard filters spread dirt and dust in air and are also not able to trap fine particles such as pet dander or pollen. As against this, vacuum cleaners equipped with HEPA filters offer compact cleaning solutions which prevent allergens from invading lungs and are thus gaining more importance. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 300 million people suffer from asthma globally and this count is expected to reach 400 million by 2015. Rising electricity prices is the major inhibiting factor for growth of the household vacuum cleaners market as these appliances consume a lot of electricity.
