The global HVAC system market is expected to be valued at USD 206.3 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 280.1 billion by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2023 to 2028. HVAC systems use refrigerants such as hydrofluorocarbons (HCFs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), which emit greenhouse gases (GHGs). Further, several HVAC equipment emit significant amounts of CO2 as they account for ~40% of the total energy consumption in a building. However, in recent years, there have been several advancements in HVAC technology that can help reduce carbon emissions. Moreover, Freon 22, also known as HCFC-22 and R-22, is used as the primary refrigerant chemical in residential air-conditioning units and heat pumps. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the production of Freon 22 in January 2020.

“Air-handling unit to account for the largest ventilation equipment segment for HVAC system market”
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are often used in air-handling units (AHUs) to control the speed of the motors that power the fans. VFDs can adjust the speed of the motor to match the air flow requirements of the system, which can help reduce energy consumption and improve system efficiency. By using VFDs in AHUs, the system can better match the airflow needs of the building, allowing for better temperature and humidity control. VFDs also allow for more precise control over the system, which can improve the overall efficiency of the HVAC system.

“Industrial application to grow at the second highest CAGR for HVAC system market.”
Industrial buildings require a lot of energy to operate their processes. HVAC systems used in industrial buildings help to reduce costs related to energy. Industrial owners are installing efficient HVAC systems in warehouses, control rooms, distribution centers, and production facilities to increase the optimum use of energy in these areas. For instance, The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates refrigerants in HVAC systems to protect the environment. HVAC systems in industrial settings must comply with EPA regulations for refrigerants.

“India to grow at the highest CAGR for Asia Pacific HVAC system market”
India is one of the top-ranking developing economies in the world. India, being the second-most populated country, has many infrastructure projects, including residential and commercial. Increasing awareness about energy preservation using energy-efficient equipment is fuelling the growth of the smart home industry in the country. Initiatives such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), expansion of metro rail, smart city projects, and “Housing for All by 2020” are expected to boost the demand for HVAC systems in the country.
