"Catapult Your Business to Fore, Gain Competitive Advantage "
The global heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) system market was valued at USD 142.72 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow from USD 149.80 billion in 2022 to USD 215.23 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with HVAC systems experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. Based on our analysis, the global HVAC system market had exhibited a decline of 4.6% in 2020 as compared to 2019.
Heating, ventilation, and cooling systems are utilized to transfer air between indoor and outdoor areas. They filter the indoor air to keep the environment healthy and maintain humidity at an optimal comfort level.
Increasing demand for hybrid heating, ventilation, and cooling systems is an emerging trend. The increasing demand for automatic adjustment of temperature is complementing the growth of hybrid systems. Additionally, the surge in construction activities in commercial and residential sectors and demand from food & beverage and telecom industries are anticipated to contribute significantly to the market growth. However, the lack of qualified professionals is expected to impact the market growth in the near future.
Adverse COVID-19 Impact Resulted in Halt of Manufacturing Processes
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the global economy since the first case was reported in December 2019. In the first quarter of 2020, the pandemic adversely affected the global heating, ventilation, and cooling system market growth. This is attributable to the lockdown effect across countries, such as Ireland, Germany, the U.S., China, and others. The lockdown has not only halted the manufacturing process but also reduced the customer demand for the equipment.
However, the demand for air filters across residential usage, purified air supply across commercial buildings, and minimization of suffocated air over industrial areas is expected to boost the penetration of heating, ventilation, and cooling systems in the forthcoming years. Additionally, governmental bodies, such as the Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Association, ASHRAE, and others, are employing mitigation tactics that can further reduce the possibility of the system becoming contaminated with the COVID-19 virus.
For instance, ASHRAE has recommended strategies in order to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19. The strategies are as follows:
This, in turn, is expected to complement the rising demand for these systems amid the current crisis.

Rising Preference for Hybrid HVAC Systems to Propel Market Growth
The surge in demand for hybrid systems is expected to lead to the growing demand for heating, ventilation, and cooling systems. The benefits of hybrid systems, such as an automatic adjustment in temperature due to changes in the environment are gaining popularity. For instance, in October 2019, Carrier introduced Carrier Hybrid Heat that utilizes a gas furnace and electric heat pump as a heating source to react to changing environments. Also, the high energy efficiency of these systems results in cost reductions, thus offering high returns on initial investments. Besides, the reduced environmental impact and increased system lifespan result in the rising demand for hybrid systems.
Technological Advancement across Systems to Bolster Industry Growth
The rising demand for technologically advanced heating, ventilation, and cooling systems is expected to drive market growth. The growth in green-labeled products due to increased environmental awareness has given rise to thermally driven air-conditioners. Manufacturers, such as Lennox International Inc., Daikin Industries, Ltd., and others are offering advanced systems. These air-conditioners utilize both natural gas as well as solar energy, thus ensuring energy efficiency. The additional benefits offered are low maintenance, independent control of pipes for heating and cooling purposes, and automatic adjustments to current requirements, along with improved lifetime cost and efficiency.
Smart thermostats and sensors, which can be controlled remotely through apps, are gaining popularity among the customers, especially in commercial buildings, to gain energy- and cost-efficiency. This is expected to contribute to the global heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) system market growth in the forthcoming years.
Shortage of Skilled Labor to Impact the Market Growth
The lack of qualified technicians for heating, ventilation, and cooling systems is expected to impact the market growth over the past few years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. experienced 25.0% of workforce retirement till 2020. Besides, the companies are likely to seek around 115,000 new heating, ventilation, cooling and refrigeration qualified technicians in the next four years. Therefore, a shortage of skilled technicians is expected to hinder the growth of the market in the forthcoming years.
