A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The increasing demand for energy-efficient HVAC systems is notably driving market growth. End-user industries are increasing their production volume to cater to the growing demand, which has augmented the need for energy-efficient equipment for different industrial processes. According to Technavio estimates, on average, almost 9% of the cost of production is spent on electricity in most industries. The increasing consumption of electricity in energy-intensive industries has propelled regulatory authorities to encourage the adoption of energy-efficient equipment.
Regulatory authorities across the world have implemented many stringent guidelines related to energy efficiency. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates, US residential consumers used about 3,802 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2020, of which 1.61 trillion kWh was consumed for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC and R) applications, forming about 42% of the total energy consumption. These end-users persistently need to increase operational efficiency. This is encouraging process and discrete industries to shift from traditional HVAC systems to more energy-efficient ones.
In February 2022, Hitachi Air Conditioning India Ltd launched its range of energy-efficient and state-of-the-art air conditioning solutions for industrial and residential purposes. Thus, the growing demand for energy-efficient HVAC systems and the launch of new products by the vendors will drive the market in focus during the forecast period.
Increasing the use of renewable energy sources for HVAC systems is the primary trend in the market. The shift toward renewable energy sources is also gaining traction in the market. Strict environmental regulations will pave the way for the adoption of renewable sources. In the industrial sector, development is still in its nascent stage. The adoption of renewable sources is expected to be experienced in changing the energy mix for industrial heating, especially in Europe. Solar space heating is a method of using solar energy to reduce energy consumption for heating purposes. A solar space heating system works in conjunction with the existing building heating system, such as the oil or gas-fired heater, or independently to provide heated air for indoor space heating.
The use of solar space heating systems can enable end-users to cut down on heating fuel costs considerably. This hybrid system can also provide large-scale, cost-effective reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The cost benefits that hybrid systems offer, in conjunction with the strict environmental regulations, will mold the market toward renewable energy sources, significantly impacting the market.
Environmental pollution due to HVAC systems is the major challenge impeding market growth. Pollution, especially air pollution, is a growing concern for the government in countries such as the US, China, and India. Pollution-related problems are encouraging the governments in these countries to launch various regulations to curb emissions. HVAC systems can cause air and noise pollution, which can have a negative impact on the environment. The use of HVAC systems is adding to the problem of air pollution as they release hazardous gases such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons into the environment. These gases have a negative impact on the environment as they are greenhouse gases that trap heat and lead to the depletion of the earth's ozone layer.
Moreover, as global climate change is increasing the average global temperatures, the use of HVAC is also increasing, which is contributing to environmental pollution and climate change. HVAC systems consume a lot of electricity, which puts a strain on the power generation sector. It also leads to more pollution, as many countries use coal for electricity generation. In addition, electricity generators are used in many places that face fluctuations in the power supply or frequent power outages, which leads to the release of carbon monoxide and other hazardous gases into the atmosphere, thus resulting in air pollution. Hence, an increase in air pollution levels because of HVAC systems can hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
