The HVAC equipment segment was valued at USD 106.96 billion in 2018. The growing population and industrialization, the rise in construction expenditure, the increase in sales of commercial and residential buildings, and the augmented disposable income of the middle-class population are driving the market. Heat pumps, air-conditioners (ACs) in rooms, and unitary ACs are likely to witness significant demand in both residential and non-residential buildings.
Non-residential end-users of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning equipment are manufacturing facilities, commercial and industrial buildings, retail stores, and healthcare and educational institutions. An increase in the construction of these end-users will drive the growth of the global System Market. HVAC systems, in conjunction with the entire building design, will help significantly reduce energy consumption. Buildings can save nearly 30% of the total energy cost annually by incorporating high-performance systems.
Furthermore, various builders prefer to promote green buildings as a means of differentiation to cope with intense competition in the market. Owing to the adoption of green technology, the demand for units has increased simultaneously as they help in energy savings. The rise in the number of net-zero buildings is the major trend in the construction business. A net-zero building can produce renewable energy to meet its annual energy consumption requirements. This reduces the need for non-renewable energy in the building. The commercial sector has seen growth in terms of the increasing number of office buildings, data centers, and healthcare facilities. Such factors will increase the market growth during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 53% to the growth by 2028. Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional market trends and analysis, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period. APAC is the largest market for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning due to the growing population, climatic conditions, increasing urbanization, and demographic changes in the region. The expanding commercial construction sector is the key driving factor for market growth in countries such as China and India. Regulations and efficiency norms in countries such as India and China will drive the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Market in APAC during the forecast period.
Furthermore, an increase in the number of urban high-rise condominium projects will propel the demand for systems. Expansive construction projects in Australia, such as the Queen's Wharf, Howard Smith Wharves, and other significant urban development projects, will propel the demand for systems. The Queen's Wharf will accommodate five major premium hotels, three residential towers, large departmental stores, food and beverage outlets, a Queensland hotel, and other related buildings. Hence, all these projects require Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning systems, thereby driving the growth of the regional market.
The market is at the forefront of innovation, responding to the evolving demands of climate control technologies amidst climatic changes. With a focus on efficiency, the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance drives the development of energy-saving products such as commercial air conditioners for both residential and commercial sectors, promoting affordable housing units without compromising comfort. Ground-source heat pump installations harness renewable energy, while A2L refrigerants like R-410 pave the way for environmentally friendly solutions, in compliance with HVAC regulations such as SEER2. Integration of AI-based smart voice-controlled technology enhances user experience in smart building solutions, featuring ductless HVAC systems and sustainable HVAC systems. From traditional AC units to advanced smart Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning systems and furnace or boiler systems, the market continues to revolutionize climate control.
The construction sector plays a major role in driving the demand for air conditioning. With the increase in the construction of commercial and residential buildings, the demand for equipment and services has been increasing, thereby driving the growth of the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, ductless systems are highly efficient and flexible. Ductless systems are highly applicable in residential buildings. Most of the countries in APAC prefer ductless air conditioning as it is more economical and consumes less energy than central air conditioning for the residential sector. Ductless systems can be used to heat and cool the entire house or installed in new room additions, individual rooms, or basements to ensure zoned solutions. Mini split ACs can either be installed in ceilings, walls, or flooring. Such development is expected to drive market growth and trends during the forecast period.
BASs, which control and monitor other facilities of a given building, are embedded with computing and digital communication tools that allow these systems to enhance energy efficiency. The number of integrated BAS installations has increased owing to the rise in the number of construction projects and building retrofits.
Moreover, the energy efficiency ensured by the ever-improving BAS technology enables building owners to enhance facility management with integrated user-friendly solutions. The integration of HVAC controls with access control technologies is one such example. Such benefits are expected to propel the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The units used in the residential and non-residential segments are made up of various components for the heating and cooling systems. These systems, including residential HVAC, have evolved in the past years to include more software-based and electrical components, along with numerous mechanical components that are necessary for cooling or heat transfer. Due to the increase in the number of components in a unit, the chances of any of these parts failing have also increased.
Thus, failure issues in equipment can lead to an increase in the operating cost of end-users and will encourage them to opt for substitutes, thus impacting the demand for equipment, and hindering the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
