Global HVAC System Market Size is valued at USD 233.12 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 403.76 billion by the year 2034 at a 5.8% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
HVAC System Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Cooling Equipment (Unitary Air Conditioners, VRF Systems, Chillers, Room Air Conditioners, Coolers, And Cooling Towers), Heating Equipment (Heat Pumps, Furnaces, Unitary Heaters, And Boilers), Ventilation Equipment, Implementation Type, Application, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 to 2034
Heating, ventilation, and cooling systems are used to transport air between indoor and outdoor spaces. They filter the interior air to keep the environment healthy and humidity comfortable. A key trend predicted to impact the market over the projected period is varying climatic conditions and the necessity to maintain an ambient climate in a building. Most customers have recently prioritized the availability of smart features and energy efficiency as essential purchase criteria, and this trend is projected to continue in the next years.
Furthermore, the increased building activity in the commercial and residential sectors and the demand from the food and beverage and telecommunications industries are expected to contribute considerably to market growth. Moreover, a shortage of competent professionals is projected to have a negative impact on market growth in the near future.
However, after the first occurrence of COVID-19 was revealed in December 2019, the global economy has seen tremendous disruption. The pandemic had a negative impact on global heating, ventilation, and cooling system market development in the first quarter of 2020. This is due to the lockdown effect that has occurred in nations such as Ireland, Germany, the United States, China, and others. The lockout interrupted production and diminished client demand for the equipment.
The HVAC System Market is segmented based on cooling equipment, heating equipment, ventilation equipment, implementation type and application. Based on cooling equipment, the market is segmented as unitary air conditioners, VRF systems, chillers, room air conditioners, coolers, and cooling towers. The heating equipment segment includes heat pumps, furnaces, unitary heaters, and boilers. By ventilation equipment, the market is segmented into air handling units, air filters, dehumidifiers, ventilation fans, humidifiers, and air purifiers. The implementation type segment includes new construction and retrofit. By application, the market is segmented into residential, commercial, and industrial.
The unitary air conditioners category is expected to hold a major share of the global HVAC system market in 2024. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), cooling accounts for more than 10% of global electricity use. Increasing population and disposable incomes, particularly in hotter regions of the world, have encouraged the use of air conditioners, supporting the need for cooling equipment.
The residential segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global HVAC system market. The residential HVAC segment is expanding due to an increase in multi-family and single-family buildings. Residential HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) demand is predicted to remain more or less stagnant in developed areas of the world, but demand from emerging markets, particularly developing economies, is expected to be slightly higher. This is mostly due to the rising population in emerging economies and increased market maturity in mature markets.
The Asia Pacific HVAC system market is expected to register the highest market share in terms of revenue in the near future. Rising urbanization, population expansion, and rising consumer disposable income have contributed to the region's phenomenal progress. Currently, the corporate sector has been increasingly offering opportunities for future regional growth. North America was the second-largest customer of HVAC systems, closely followed by Europe. The market for HVAC systems as a whole has matured; however, replacement sales owing to aged infrastructure or retrofit projects are opening new revenue streams for OEMs in addition to expanding into the services and maintenance area.
