Executive Summary
According to a new report, titled, 'Commercial Air Conditioning System Market,' The commercial air conditioning system market was valued at $38.3 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $57.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2022 to 2031.A commercial air conditioning system is a group of devices and parts used in commercial and industrial buildings like offices, retail stores, hospitals, factories, and data centers to circulate and dry the air. Typically, commercial air conditioning systems have one or more sizable units mounted on the building's roof or in the building's exterior. The cooling air from the units is sent throughout the building via ducts that are attached to the units. The system might also come with a control mechanism that enables building occupants to set the temperature and other settings to the ideal level.
The market for commercial air conditioning systems is significantly impacted by the expansion of the construction sector, especially in developing countries. The need for effective and dependable HVAC systems to maintain a suitable indoor temperature is increasing as more buildings are built. Commercial air conditioning system adoption is influenced by rising demand for energy-efficient systems as well as rules and criteria set by the government to reduce carbon emissions. Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, which conserve energy and lower running costs, are now a common feature of many commercial air conditioning systems. The demand for smart buildings and building automation systems is also boosting the market for commercial air conditioning systems. These systems can offer real-time HVAC system monitoring and management, which can maximise energy efficiency, save maintenance costs, and improve occupant comfort.
