Major Climatic Changes

Increasing climatic changes worldwide have fuelled the need for air handling units. Rising temperatures with greater unpredictability of climatic conditions have severely impacted indoor environments. This has a deteriorating effect on existing air quality thus impacting the well-being of individuals. In addition, changing climatic conditions have also led to critical weather events resulting in extreme precipitation, storms and floods that can cause harm to buildings and allow moisture and water to enter various infrastructure.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report in March 2021, the Earth’s temperature increased by 0.14⁰F every decade since 1880. Additionally, 2020 was the second warmest year with the average temperature of 1.76⁰F across both oceans and land. In this backdrop, climatic changes have pushed the demand for efficient air handling units and systems, thus contributing to the growth of the ventilation system market.

Growing Need for Decentralized Ventilation Systems

The reduction in the number of ducts and interconnections in residential and commercial projects have fuelled the demand for decentralized ventilation systems. In addition, decentralized systems have been gaining prominence owing to lower malfunctioning risks and reduced maintenance costs. That said, decentralized ventilation reduces space conditioning needs thus reducing air leakages. This further enhances comfort and air quality. In this backdrop, manufacturers of ventilation systems are providing decentralized systems across both commercial, and residential spaces.

For instance, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation is providing VL100 and VL50 decentralized units which facilitate controlled ventilation along with heat recovery across small businesses, individual offices, and living spaces. Thus, the increasing proliferation of a decentralized model is expected to contribute to the growth of the ventilation system market worldwide.

Growth Challenges

Regulatory and Environmental Elements, and High Investment Costs

Increasing environmental concerns and regulations related to carbon emissions and energy consumption of ventilation systems may lead to an increase in the cost of manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of these systems. Moreover, these systems have a high upfront cost which could deter potential customers. Furthermore, stiff competition from alternative ventilation solutions such as natural ventilation and air conditioning systems, which could be more cost-effective, are some elements that could hinder the further augmentation of the global ventilation system market.

The ventilation system market in the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at a significant pace in the coming years. This can be attributed to stable economic growth followed by the increasing presence of major players across various industries, triggering a higher demand for ventilation systems. In addition, growing customer pools backed by increasing populations across economies such as India, and China have further paved an opportunistic landscape for residential ventilation systems in the region.

Furthermore, the modernization of residential and commercial construction projects has further fuelled the sales of air handling units. For instance, according to the International Finance Corporation, East Asia, and the Pacific Asian region account for a significant share in the real estate sector with an increase in investments in residential and commercial projects. This factor remains instrumental in driving the growth trajectory of the ventilation system market in the Asia Pacific region.
