“ A paradigm shift towards the adoption of energyefficient air conditioners , which reduce costs and power wastage , is expected to keep up HVAC demand .”

The global HVAC systems ’ market size was valued at US $ 127.4- billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate ( CAGR ) of 5.9 % from 2021 to 2028 , according to analyst Grand View Research .

“ HVAC ( heating , ventilation and air conditioning ) demand is primarily driven by the advent of novel technologically advanced products , which are energy-efficient and can be remotely accessed . The use of natural refrigerants , such as CO 2
, coupled with increasing efforts by various governments across the globe to promote energy-efficient products is expected to drive the market . Furthermore , a paradigm shift towards the adoption of energy-efficient air conditioners , which reduce costs and power wastage , is expected to keep up HVAC demand over the forecast period ,” said the analyst .
Rising customer inclination toward comfort has increased the demand for HVAC systems . In addition to addressing the customer ’ s comfort demands , companies are developing products that offer several added benefits . For instance , IoT-enabled heating and cooling systems offer real-time monitoring of system functionality and condition . These HVAC systems also alert customers or managers of system failure , unusual behaviour and maintenance cycle to reduce repair costs . These factors , said the analyst , are anticipated to increase product demand in the near future .
