Key Market Differences
• Europe: no residential filter market existing• Europe: filters are considered as a technical product• Europe: Wholesale distributors do not participate in
the market • Europe: maintenance /service companies serve
after-market directly:fabricator service company end customer

Key Differences in the MarketsKey Differences in the Markets
• Europe: Pocket filter are number one seller • Europe: Pre-Filters are often pockets filters
instead of pleated panel filters (MERV 6 – 10)• Europe does not view the pleated filter as a
quality product • Europe: Filter rating and performance
reporting requirements have greatly influenced the market (EN 779)
• Europe: Synthetic vs Glassfiber 50 : 50

• F5 and F6 become M5 and M6• Must state initial efficiency with average
efficiency and measure discharge efficiency using IPA soak.
• The minimum efficiency is defined as the lowest efficiency among the initial efficiency, the discharged efficiency and the lowest efficiency throughout the loading procedure of the test.

ConclusionsConclusions
• Europe: Pocket Filter Applications range from 35 to 95 % efficiency including pre-filtering
• Europe: Pleated filters are not considered a high quality product
• Europe: Pockets Filters have grown over the last decade leading to product design and performance improvements
• Europe: Requirement for enhanced manufacturing technologies and higher automation
