GCC Portable Air Conditioners Market Analysis
The GCC portable air conditioners market is estimated to be valued at about USD 542 million in the current year. It is expected to register a CAGR of more than 4% during the forecast period.
- GCC air conditioner market growth is mainly due to the hot and dry climate of the GCC region, which requires air conditioning systems to keep the indoor environment comfortable.
