Air Filter: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.80 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For air filter, the drivers are sensor type, front or rear fitment, connector style, wire length, tone ring compatibility, wire gauge, relay rating, connector type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale listings for automotive engine/car air filters show sub-$1 to a few dollars per unit at MOQ 100-5,000, with lower prices at higher breaks; examples include $0.58 at 5,000+ and $0.75 at 2,000-4,999, plus $2.80-$3.00 at 500-999 and $3.10, $2.90, $2.60 for 1,000-5,000+ on comparable listings. In practice, price moves most with vehicle-specific fitment/OE number, filter media and frame quality, and whether the order is a universal intake filter or a replacement engine/panel filter; customization, branding, and shipping can materially change landed cost. Realistic supplier routes are direct OEM/aftermarket factories on Made-in-China/Globalsources/Alibaba and U.S.-facing wholesale parts resellers, with factory lead times commonly around 15-30 days and some listings quoting about one month.
