HVAC Systems Industry Overview

The global HVAC systems market size was estimated at USD 233.55 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% from 2024 to 2030.

The market growth is driven by the rising need for cost-effective and energy-efficient space cooling and heating applications in the commercial and industrial sectors. Furthermore, rising demand for the high seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) heating equipment, which can be efficient in both winter and summer, is expected to fuel the product demand. Moreover, the growing global population is increasing the requirements for affordable housing units and enhanced commercial infrastructure.

According to the United Nations, the global population is expected to reach 9.7 billion in 2050, exhibiting a growth of 2 billion in the next 30 years. This significant increase in the global population is facilitated by the improving standard of living of the masses, increasing lifespan, decreasing mortality rate, and ongoing advancements in medical technologies and medicines. As such, new housing projects are being launched worldwide. This is expected to positively impact market growth. Rapid urbanization coupled with increasing demand for energy-efficient products is expected to drive the demand for heat pumps in the residential sector. Favorable government initiatives and tax rebates offered on the installation of energy-saving products are expected to propel product demand.

For instance, the U.S. federal government extended the federal tax credit of 26% for residential ground-source heat pump installations up to 31st December 2022. This tax credit was lowered to 22% for systems that were installed in 2023. Moreover, the governments have set forth some standards that aim at the manufacturing of energy-efficient equipment, reducing environmental hazards & carbon footprints. In addition, several governments offer benefits to encourage the use of energy-efficient or renewable energy-based products. Moreover, the introduction of new HVAC regulations and standards or the updation of the existing ones in the U.S. is expected to positively impact market growth.

In January 2023, a new regulation related to energy efficiency SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) was implemented in the U.S. The energy efficiency rating according to this regulation for heat pumps & air conditioners for northern states of the country has been changed to 14, while for southern states, it is 15. Moreover, the U.S. EPA is said to ban R-410 refrigerant in HVAC systems across the country by 2024 and promote the adoption of a new class of refrigerant, namely A2L in these systems by 2025. Such changes are expected to boost the replacement activities of existing HVAC systems with new ones or update them. This is anticipated to contribute to market growth.
