[199 Pages Report] The Automotive HVAC Market size was estimated at USD 31.52 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 33.83 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.56% to reach USD 52.53 billion by 2030.

Automotive heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the system that circulates cooled or heated air while lowering humidity to meet the passengers’ and drivers’ optimum temperature requirements. The system also controls the air quality and quantity inside vehicle cabins. The HVAC systems help maintain thermal comfort inside the vehicles by mainly using the principles of convection, radiation, and conduction. The automotive HVAC systems are gaining more traction with increased demand for private & passenger cars, rising disposable income, growing spending on premium and luxurious vehicles, and regulations applicable to climate control for low-emission vehicles. Although maintenance and replacement of HVAC systems are cost-intensive and lead to environmental issues, the improvements in design and technologies used in automotive HVAC increases their usage. Moreover, increasing demand for electric and autonomous vehicles is also expected to support future utilization and R&D efforts in automotive HVAC systems in the coming years.

Component: innovations in heat exchanger for enhancing energy efficiency, and improving durability

The automotive compressor is utilized for maintaining refrigerant pressure in the HVAC system by compression of refrigerant gas. The condenser acts as heat-exchanging equipment that removes heat from compressed gas, condensing gas into liquid form. The expansion device restricts refrigerant flow, converting it into a low-pressure mist before transferring it to the evaporator system. The receiver/drier helps to absorb moisture inside the automotive cabin, ensuring that the air entering the vehicle has low humidity levels.

Technology: Significant adoption of manual HVAC system as a cost-effective alternative

The automatic HVAC system regulates automotive cabins’ temperature and moisture through sensors. The sensors collect information and regulate HVAC system operations under different times and climatic conditions. The manual HVAC system provides a cost-effective alternative, offering similar features to budget vehicles’ automatic HVAC systems. The semi-automatic system provides a combination of automatic and manual HVAC systems, offering automatic control over certain operations such as fan speed.

Vehicle: Rising usage of HVAC system in the passenger vehicles

The automotive HVAC system is installed in heavy and light commercial vehicles to control air, temperature, humidity, and thermal environment. Passenger cars are equipped with an HVAC system, providing comfort features with thermal controls such as automatic temperature control, fan speed, and fog sensors.

Distribution Channel: Widening availability of automotive HVAC solution through OEM

The aftermarket is the secondary market, consisting of manufacturing, distribution, retailing, and installation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in automobiles by OEM to the consumer. Aftermarket manufacturers provide easy-to-install and affordable HVAC systems, allowing installation into older vehicles. OEM allows selling products to another company for relabelling as their own, enabling a manufacturer to boost sales without investing in infrastructure.

Regional Insights

The demand and usage of automotive HVAC systems are increasing in the EU, the U.S., and developed parts of Asia-Pacific regions, with consumer spending on passenger cars and a strong presence of market players developing advanced HVAC systems. China, the US, Japan, India, South Korea, Germany, Mexico, and Brazil are the leading automotive manufacturers worldwide with a highly competitive automotive sector. Automakers’ investments towards improving consumer satisfaction while complying with cabin air quality regulations and reducing the weight of vehicles to meet fuel consumption and emission standards provide considerable scope for the market players. In both developed and developing economies, the automotive sector enormously contributes to the economy, necessitating efficient automotive HVAC systems. Moreover, with sustainability becoming the prime focus of countries, HVAC systems are becoming increasingly advanced as new technologies get integrated to make the system more efficient. The significant importance given to the electrification of the automotive sector, encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles, is anticipated to further expand the use of automotive HVAC in the upcoming years.
