Increasing government initiatives for sustainable and energy-efficient HVAC systems
Conventional HVAC systems use fossil fuels such as natural gas, LPG, kerosene, and fuel oil for boilers and space heaters. For air conditioning and cooling, different variants of hydrofluorocarbons such as R-410A, R-32, and R-134A are used, which have an impact on ozone layer depletion. Governments are executing policies on reducing greenhouse gas emissions by incentivizing sustainable technologies for new HVAC implementations as the reduction in carbon emissions can reduce its impact on climate change. The primary step is to implement energy-efficient HVAC systems such that the energy consumption by these systems is reduced.
Controllers and controlled equipment is expected to hold the highest market share during the forecast period
Controllers and controlled equipment are expected to hold the highest market share from 2022 to 2027. Most HVAC control systems are monitored using control valves for regulating steam or hot/chilled water flows as the means of trimming heat transfer; therefore, control valves are selected based on their size. In July 2021, Warren Controls, a leading manufacturer of control valves and specialty fluid handling products, announced its two and three-way electrically actuated HVAC/BAC control valves, designed for domestic use and to assist in the transport of low-pressure steam or hot/cold water within a building for temperature regulation.
Integrated control system to hold the highest CAGR of HVAC controls market during the forecast period
The HVAC controls market for integrated control systems is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2022 and 2027. Integrated control systems are finding more use cases across smart homes. Currently, there are 175 million households in the world, equipped with smart technologies and the number is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. This will enhance the market for smart HVAC, which includes smart thermostats, smart vents, smart humidifiers, and others. With the demand for smart homes growing, collaborations between HVAC providers and IoT industries are predicted to become the norm in the coming years.
Commercial applications to hold the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The commercial application segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The rise in the construction of smart and green buildings has resulted in the increased use of smart sensors and HVAC control equipment such as programmable thermostats, saving a significant amount of energy in these buildings. The applications of HVAC controls in commercial buildings ensure switching on/off the HVAC equipment in a particular area, depending on its occupancy. In a huge commercial complex, all areas are not constantly occupied by several people; HVAC controls play an important role in sensing the number of occupants in the area to assure the efficient use of energy.
HVAC controls market in APAC to hold the highest market share during the forecast period
APAC is expected to lead the global HVAC controls market. China held the largest size of the HVAC controls market in APAC in 2021. In February 2021, Carrier China signed a contract worth USD 17 million (RMB 100 million) with China Eastern Airlines Investment Co., Ltd. (CES Investment) to provide XCT7 variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems for commercial offices and residential projects throughout China. The contract is one of the largest single VRF contracts that Carrier has ever signed, representing a new milestone for Carrier Chinas Light Commercial business.
