We're expecting the global market for home air conditioners to really take off between 2022 and 2027, growing by about 4.15% each year. Why? Well, it's getting hotter and more humid everywhere, and people, especially in Asia, are starting to see AC as something they need, not just a fancy extra. Air conditioning isn't just about cooling things down though – it's about heating, ventilation, and making the air cleaner too. Think of it as creating a comfy bubble that helps us be more productive while keeping out dust and smoke. That's why you see these systems in so many homes.
Plus, a big reason why the home air conditioner market is booming is because everyone's going for energy-efficient and renewable options. People increasingly want things that are good for the planet. That's why companies in the global residential air conditioner market are going green – they know it'll bring in more customers! Right now, about a third of homes worldwide have AC. In places like the United States and Japan, it's more like 90%! What's even better is that air conditioning is getting cheaper as tech gets better and things become more efficient. Since there's so much competition, especially in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East & Africa, businesses are often selling their systems at lower prices to get more sales.
Also, regulatory bodies and governments have clearly stated that all air conditioner manufacturing enterprises must incorporate higher Energy Efficient Ratio (EER) in their equipment. Semi-government and private project owners have become wary of this approach, and as a result, they are increasingly relying on cutting-edge energy-saving technologies such as eco-friendly inverter technology-based units, and solar energy-based air conditioners.
Increasing Technological Advancements
Technologies such as corrosion protection, indoor air quality, voltage fluctuation protection, dual inverter technology with acoustic jacket, humidity control using auto humid control and dry mode, copper condenser, and anti-corrosive hydrophilic bluefin, among others, are transforming air conditioners. As a result, in order to match consumer demand, industry participants are constantly introducing new technological breakthroughs in their product portfolio. Hitachi, Daikin, and LG are at the forefront of air conditioning technology, having phased out obsolete and environmentally unfavorable systems. Such factors are expected to positively impact the residential air conditioner market around the world.
Change in Climatic Conditions
Okay, so here's the dealit's getting hotter out there, and that's the main reason the residential air conditioner market is booming. Global warming is making temperatures rise, plain and simple, which means more and more people want AC at home. Plus, think about all those growing economies like China, India, and places in Central and South America that are at least partly in hot, tropical zones, not to mention places like South-East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa which are totally tropical. People there want to stay cool and comfortable, and that need for air conditioning is only going to keep pushing the market upwards in the years to come.
Rising Growing GDP Per Capita Income Fueling the Market Growth
One of the primary drivers of growth in the global residential air conditioners market is rising GDP per capita income. It denotes an increase in consumer spending power as well as their quality of living. Consumers are willing to spend more on comfort and convenience. They are willing to pay more and do not want to compromise on product quality. With rising GDP per capita income around the world, demand for air conditioners will surge. This factor is anticipated to contribute immensely to the residential air conditioner market.
