Strict regulatory norms are expected to drive the growth of the global HVAC equipment market during the forecast period. Governments in different countries have imposed stringent regulations, to protect the environment and stabilize greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. There are 83 signatories and 192 member countries which have signed or accepted the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty which extended the 1992 United Nations Framework.
A similar treaty, the Montreal Protocol, achieved universal ratification (in 1999), and signatories signed the protocol with a willingness to protect the depleting ozone layer and implemented the regulations in their respective countries. Such regulations are expected to boost the demand for HVAC equipment. Conventional equipment, which emits harmful gases such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are needed to be replaced. Furthermore, other regulations are boosting the adoption of HVAC equipment including LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certified projects and mandatory SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings (SEER of 13.0 and above in the U.S.) for HVAC systems.
Constant climate variations are expected to propel the global HVAC equipment market growth over the forecast period. Climate change is boosting the demand for HVAC equipment systems. There have been significant climate variations in the last two decades due to rising greenhouse gas effects. This, in turn, is leading to increased demand for efficient HVAC systems, to meet changing climatic variations. As a result of this, the demand for HCAC equipment is expected to accelerate.
Rising trend of smart homes can present lucrative growth opportunities in the global HVAC equipment market. The home automation market globally is growing at a robust pace, with average annual growth of 38.4%. This growth is primarily driven by energy management and security systems. As a result of this, HVAC systems manufacturers are focused on solutions that can be integrated with smart technologies. Therefore, there is a gradual shift toward smart building.
Unitary air conditioning systems are anticipated to show strong growth across the Asia Pacific region and in countries such as Brazil where construction activities are expected to remain high over the forecast period. Smart air conditioning systems across residential and commercial applications are gaining popularity. Features such as air conditioner operation through smartphones, Wi-Fi technology, and advanced sensing are being incorporated into the air conditioners presently.
HVAC equipment is anticipated to build truly high-efficiency units; unfortunately, increased efficiency would not come without increased cost and complexities. The usage of net-zero energy facilities is gaining momentum; in such a facility any building will produce as much energy as it consumes.
High consumption of energy is expected to restrain the growth of the global HVAC equipment market during the forecast period. Major entities in the commercial segment such as retail complexes, hostels, entertainment centers, and others typically rely on centralized HVAC systems for space conditioning.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2021 and the U.S. Department of Energy, around 25-35% of electricity consumption is due to HVAC systems. According to the same source, a large part (20% - 60%) of this energy consumption is contributed by parasitic energy use (energy used to power fans and pumps used for the transfer of heating and cooling). Thus, centralized HVAC systems have burdened energy bills despite being more efficient (in terms of energy unit consumption per unit area of space conditioned) as compared to unitary systems.
*Definition: An HVAC stands for Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning. HVAC equipment refers to various devices and systems to control and maintain the temperature humidity and air quality in an indoor environment.
