A residential portable dehumidifier is a compact device designed to remove excess moisture from the air within a residential space. It is commonly used in homes, apartments, or other living areas to maintain an optimal humidity level and prevent issues such as mold, mildew, or excessive condensation.

The main function of a residential portable dehumidifier is to extract moisture from the air. They draw in humid air through a fan and pass it over cooled coils. As the air cools, the moisture in the air condenses onto the coils and is collected in a removable water tank or drained through a hose. The dehumidifier then releases the drier air back into the room.

The market for residential portable dehumidifiers has experienced significant growth in recent years due to several factors. One primary factor is the increasing awareness among homeowners about the importance of maintaining proper humidity levels in their living spaces. Excessive humidity can lead to issues like mold growth, musty odors, and damage to furniture or structural elements. In addition, the market is bifurcated by type, by application, and by geographical expansion of the market. Besides, based on product, compressor-type dehumidifiers are the most popular product in the market. On the other, offline sales are the largest application segment. Thereby, the market is predicted to rise during the forecast 2022-2028.
