Designed to work with a home's existing ceiling fan, Lily is an [affordable alternative to high-tech air purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pureaura). Lily is described as a "giant pollution mask" comprised of two simple parts: filter pipes that purify the air and a non-woven protective shield that covers the fan itself. The idea is that consumers install Lily directly underneath their existing ceiling fan to create a DIY air purifier. The device then uses the power of the fan so that no extra cost is required to run the device. Lily also features a washable filter so that there is no ongoing maintenance cost. For Indian consumers who are looking for a more affordable way to remove [air pollution from the home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windmill), this DIY air purifier is a great option. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Air Purifiers:** The trend of creating affordable air purifiers using existing household appliances like ceiling fans provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the air purification industry. - **Low-cost Pollution Masks:** The trend of developing inexpensive pollution masks, like Lifetree's Lily air purifier, presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the personal protection industry. - **DIY Home Solutions:** The trend of creating do-it-yourself home solutions, such as Lifetree's Lily air purifier, offers an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home improvement industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Air Purification:** The air purification industry can explore the development of affordable, DIY air purifiers to meet the growing demand for low-cost solutions to air pollution. - **Personal Protection:** The personal protection industry can leverage the trend of low-cost pollution masks to offer more affordable and accessible options for consumers. - **Home Improvement:** The home improvement industry can tap into the trend of DIY home solutions to provide innovative products that are easy to install and cost-effective. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Bladeless Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airlephome-smart-air-purifier.md) - [Hanging Pendant-Style Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abell-air-purifier.md) - [Cost-Conscious Portable Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dajlien-air-purifier.md) - [Light-Integrated Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airglow.md) - [Style-Conscious Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windmill-air-purifier.md) - [Plant-Supporting Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/florapur-air-purifier-concept.md) - [Air-Purifying Tower Fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bladeless-tower-fan.md) - [Circular Minimalist Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iqair-atem-x.md) - [Ambient Illumination Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-purifier-concept.md)
