Europe & South East Asia Modular Chiller Market, By Type, By Demand, By Application, By Region, Estimation & Forecast, 2017 - 2027

Europe & South East Asia (Sea) Modular Chiller Market is Projected to Grow at a CAGR of 5.6% During the Forecast Period 2017-2027

The Europe & South East Asia (SEA) modular chiller market held a market value of USD 548.8 Million in 2020 and is forecasted to reach USD 783.4 Million by the year 2027. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period. The market volume in 2020 was around 30,423 units.

Modular chillers are small packaged chillers with which a HVAC provider can combine with other chillers in order to build a single large machine into a HVAC system. The market is anticipated to be driven by the rising government spending on upgrading the public infrastructure coupled with concurrent heating & cooling ability. Furthermore, increasing awareness regarding energy-efficient equipment owing to growing awareness regarding environmental degradation is also expected to fuel the market growth.

However, the high initial cost along with stringent regulations is estimated to hinder the market growth. The high initial cost includes installation cost as well as electricity consumption.

Growth Influencers:

Concurrent heating and cooling ability

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications require no idle time in modular chillers. This is because the capacity of these systems can be raised by adding a parallel module. This enables increased cooling capacity with no substantial downtime. The operator of a modular chiller can also switch to the additional parallel unit in case one unit stops working and cooling is required. Hence, concurrent cooling and heating ability is expected to boost the market growth.
