Ventilation Equipment - A European Market Overview

The European ventilation equipment market experienced a significant decline in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted new construction and renovation activities across the European Union. However, demand rebounded sharply in 2021-2022, fueled by a recovery in commercial and residential construction, government-backed renovation initiatives, and increased awareness of the importance of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in the wake of the pandemic. This resurgence revitalized a previously stagnant market. In 2023, however, demand declined slightly again as economic uncertainty, rising interest rates, and escalating construction costs slowed construction activity across the region.

European unit shipments of ventilation equipment are forecast to reach 40 million units in 2030 registering a CAGR of 3.5% during 2024-2030 period. Shipment value of European ventilation equipment is projected to grow by a CAGR of 3.4% over the forecast period, reaching close US$7 billion by 2030. In March 2024, the European Parliament adopted the revised Energy Performance in Buildings Directive (EPBD) through a final vote, marking a historic milestone in EU legislation. For the first time, the directive incorporates provisions and requirements addressing Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). This advancement enhances building regulations, ensuring that structures across the EU prioritize occupant health and comfort. By focusing on key aspects such as ventilation rates, humidity control, and contaminant reduction, the updated EPBD establishes a new benchmark for sustainable and healthy building practices. The combination of stricter energy efficiency requirements and expectations for adequate ventilation presents significant growth opportunities for the ventilation market in the coming years.

Major companies operating in the European Ventilation Equipment market include Aldes Group, Ariston Group, ebm-papst, Elica, Elta Group, Faber, FLAKT Group, France Air Group, Groupe Atlantic, Helios, Hidria Rotomatika, Howden, ITHO, LINDAB, MAICO, Munters, Rosenberg Ventilatoren, Soler & Palau, Swegon, Systemair, Volution Group, and Zehnder Group among others.
