Market Trends of United States HVAC Equipment & Services Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the US HVAC Equipment & Services Market according to our research experts:
New Installations to Drive the Growth
- Increasing construction activities in the country primarily drive new installations of HVAC systems in the country. For instance, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the construction industry's contribution to the country's GDP was 4.2% in 2021.
- Barring the short-term impact of the pandemic, the demand for HVAC equipment & services has been on the rise in the United States. For instance, in October 2021, Lennox Industries partnered with HVAC dealers across the U.S. and Canada to install 130 HVAC units as part of the company's Feel The Love program. According to the company, these HVACs will be installed in 37 U.S. states and 5 Canadian provinces.
- Implementing HVAC during construction should comply with several regulations and standards. For instance, the national consensus standard for outside air ventilation in the United States is ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010. Additionally, many state codes specify minimum energy efficiency requirements, pipe, and duct insulation, ventilation controls, and system sizing and sealing, among other factors.
Commercial and Industrial Sector to Drive the Demand for HVAC Equipments & Services
- Commercial and industrial establishments have long been major consumers of HVAC equipment and services. The rapid expansion of the real-estate sector in the U.S., particularly commercial spaces, such as hotels, malls, offices, and airports, has created significant growth opportunities for the studied market. For instance, in January 2021, Merck, a leading medicine manufacturer, announced its plans to construct a new manufacturing facility to expand its production capacity for TICE BCG, a medicine for treating certain forms of bladder cancer.
- According to the U.S Census Bureau, the value of commercial construction in the United States has increased to USD 91.03 billion in 2021, from USD 86.82 billion in 2020. Furthermore, according to the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), construction is a major contributor to the U.S. economy and creates nearly USD 1.4 trillion worth of structures each year.
- The growth of the industrial sector is also creating a favorable market scenario for the studied market as these companies' increasing investments in new facilities are being made, which drives the demand for HVACs. For instance, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, in the fourth Quarter of 2021, private goods-producing industries grew by 1.5 percent, private services-producing industries increased by 9.1 percent, and government increased by 1.4 percent.
