Global Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems Market to Reach $286.8 Billion by 2026

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are important and indispensable with omnipresent applications in virtually all buildings and factories. HVAC systems are extensively employed in residential and commercial buildings across various sectors, including education, healthcare, retail, office, government and airport. Growth in the market is anticipated to be propelled by increasing demand for energy-efficient HVAC systems for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Rising concerns over climate change, increasing energy prices and carbon emissions continue to push the adoption of HVAC systems in commercial spaces. The market is also set to gain from the increasing demand for energy saving products. Rebates for energy-efficient systems such as air conditioning and HVAC are encouraging commercial building users to implement and upgrade HVAC systems.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems estimated at US$201 Billion in the year 2020, is projected to reach a revised size of US$286.8 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% over the analysis period. Cooling Systems, one of the segments analyzed in the report, is projected to grow at a 6.2% CAGR to reach US$204 Billion by the end of the analysis period. After a thorough analysis of the business implications of the pandemic and its induced economic crisis, growth in the Heating Systems segment is readjusted to a revised 5.5% CAGR for the next 7-year period. This segment currently accounts for a 20.8% share of the global Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems market. Demand for heat pumps is attributed to availability of systems with advanced functions that allow space heating and cooling while also heating water. The ability of heat pumps to offer higher efficiency as compared to other space heating and cooling unit is expected to further increase their adoption in the coming years. The climate change and gradually increasing average temperature are driving the adoption of cooling equipment during summers.
