Vertical Air Conditioning MarketSize and Trends
The Global Vertical Air Conditioning Market size is estimated at US$ 24.65 Billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 36.58 Billion by 2030, grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% from 2023 to 2030.
Vertical Air Conditioning Market Trends:
- Smart and Connected Solutions: The integration of smart building technologies with vertical air conditioning systems gained momentum. IoT-enabled sensors and automation allowed for remote monitoring, real-time data analysis, and predictive maintenance, enhancing operational efficiency and optimizing cooling performance based on actual usage patterns. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, around 25% of new homes built in the United States in 2020 had smart home technologies integrated. This number is expected to grow to 50% by 2023.
- Modular and Compact Designs: As space constraints became more prevalent in modern buildings, there was a rising demand for modular and compact vertical air conditioning units. Manufacturers focused on developing space-saving solutions that could be easily integrated into limited floor areas while maintaining high cooling capacity and efficiency. According to data from the Department of Energy in the USA, over 50% of new commercial buildings constructed in 2021 incorporated modular vertical AC systems, up from less than 20% in 2018.
- Customization and Aesthetics: Building owners and architects sought customizable vertical air conditioning solutions to align with interior aesthetics and design themes. Manufacturers responded to this trend by offering a variety of designs, colors, and finishes to complement building interiors seamlessly. The trend is clearly visible in Asia Pacific, which accounts for over 60% of the global market, according to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) 2020 'Building Efficiency Accelerator' report.
