Asia Pacific Commercial HVAC Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Asia Pacific Commercial HVAC Market Analysis

The Asia Pacific Commercial HVAC Market size is estimated at USD 76.39 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 108.92 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.35% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• The APAC commercial HVAC market is predicted to rise steadily due to increasing investments in commercial construction activity in developing economies in the region. In addition, the region's strong economic growth, urbanization, and expanding consumer market drive demand for commercial spaces, which is expected to increase the demand for innovative and high-quality HVAC equipment and services.
• Significant drivers of the regional HVAC equipment market's growth in the commercial industry over the forecast period include the surging demand for energy-efficient and sustainable technologies. According to the IEA, electricity consumption in Southeast Asia is expected to double by 2040, with air conditioning systems becoming a significant contributor to overall and peak electricity requirements. The study by the IEA highlights the urgent need to find sustainable solutions for meeting growing energy demand in the region.
• Several regional governments have established rules and regulations in the market that adhere to sustainability and energy efficiency, which expedites technological developments in the market. For instance, in February 2024, Panasonic unveiled its 2024 air conditioner lineup, prominently featuring its range of Matter-enabled room ACs. Matter, a cutting-edge connectivity standard for smart home appliances, facilitates seamless interoperability via brand-agnostic mobile apps. This move positions Panasonic as the pioneer in India, being the first to introduce ACs adhering to this protocol. The brand's launch encompasses a diverse portfolio, with 60 models spanning 1.0-ton, 1.5-ton, and 2.0-ton variants, all equipped with Matter technology.
• The commercial space's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning sectors are changing. The cooling and heating units are smaller, more compact, and more efficient than ever. However, manufacturers and service providers must keep pace with these technological developments. The need for more skilled workers is a significant problem for several regional companies. The HVAC services are often time-consuming and entertaining and need a supervisor to supervise the entire process and closing phase, apart from those installing the necessary equipment. Team management is a real challenge when handling several projects simultaneously.
• The region is home to several HVAC manufacturers and service providers in the commercial segment. They focus on enhancing their market presence by establishing domestic manufacturing facilities to remain competitive. For instance, Japan's Daikin Industries aims to make India a central export hub to nearly triple the Made in India products sold abroad by 2025. Daikin has built a new plant in India, making room air conditioners and compressors a key component. The company will also pursue exports of Made in India aircon products to 100 markets in 2025.
• The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused significant problems with regional supply chains. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the region was recovering logistics and supply chains, and this conflict created new market problems. It has contributed to exacerbating existing supply chain problems like commodity exports. On the other hand, Japanese factories are directly affected by the lack of raw materials and components from Ukraine.
