HVAC Systems Industry

The global HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems market was valued at approximately USD 233.55 billion in 2023 and is projected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% from 2024 to 2030. This anticipated growth is primarily driven by the increasing demand for cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions for space heating and cooling in both commercial and industrial sectors. Additionally, there is a rising interest in heating equipment with a high seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP), which can provide efficient temperature regulation throughout both winter and summer months, further fueling product demand. The growing global population is also creating a pressing need for affordable housing units and enhanced commercial infrastructure, contributing significantly to the market's expansion.

According to the United Nations, the global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, representing an increase of 2 billion over the next 30 years. This notable population growth is attributed to various factors, including improved living standards, longer life expectancies, reduced mortality rates, and ongoing advancements in medical technologies and pharmaceuticals. In response to this demographic shift, new housing projects are being initiated globally, which is expected to have a positive impact on the HVAC market. Furthermore, the rapid urbanization, coupled with an increasing demand for energy-efficient products, is likely to drive the demand for heat pumps in the residential sector.

Government initiatives and tax rebates aimed at promoting the installation of energy-saving products are also anticipated to significantly boost product demand. For example, the U.S. federal government extended a federal tax credit of 26% for residential ground-source heat pump installations, which was effective until December 31, 2022. This tax credit was subsequently reduced to 22% for systems installed in 2023. Additionally, various governments have established standards to encourage the manufacturing of energy-efficient equipment while working to reduce environmental hazards and carbon footprints. The introduction of new HVAC regulations and the updating of existing ones in the U.S. are expected to further contribute to market growth by promoting the adoption of more efficient and environmentally friendly HVAC solutions.

• Dehumidifiers

Commercial HVAC systems are generally larger and more complex than residential units due to the specific needs of commercial spaces.

• These systems are essential in large spaces, including:
• Shopping malls
• Airports
• Hotels
• Large restaurants
• Theaters
• Other service sector businesses
• The rising number of commercial spaces—such as shopping malls, offices, theatres, and hotels—is anticipated to drive demand for HVAC systems within the commercial sector.

When selecting a commercial HVAC system, various factors are considered to ensure suitability and efficiency, including:

• Air quality requirements within the space
• Building design and layout
• Energy efficiency to minimize operational costs
• Local climate conditions, which can influence the type of HVAC system needed
• Budget constraints and desired lifespan of the system, which are key in determining both initial investment and long-term maintenance
