Global Commercial Air Conditioner Market
SIS International Research, Nov 2007, Pages: 31
Definition of the air conditioning industry
In a broader sense, the term “air conditioning” refers to any form of cooling, heating, ventilation or disinfection that in any way modifies the condition of air. The industry to which air conditioning belongs is comprised of establishments that are also primarily engaged in manufacturing ventilation, heating,
and commercial refrigeration equipment.
Global Market
1. Size
With estimated shipments of about 70.6 million units, the global market of room air conditioners (RACs) (window models and ductless split models) and packaged air conditioners (PACs) used in light commercial applications or in whole houses (unitary air conditioners and ductless split PACs) hit a record high in 2006. The record high is a significant accomplishment considering the rising prices of copper and oil during this period.
China
China, the largest air-conditioner market in the world, grew during the four consecutive years from 2001 to 2004. A plateau in 2005 resulted from a saturated market in big cities and an immature market in rural areas. With stricter requirements on energy efficiency, air conditioners with new technologies may become a new profit-making opportunity. However, it will most likely take several years for the market to mature.
The United States
According to ARI, September’s combined U.S. factory shipments of central air conditioners and air-source heat pumps totaled 527,516, up 4.7 percent as compared to September of 2006. Year-to-date, the combined shipments totaled 5.3 million, dropping 10.8 percent as compared to the same time last year.
Europe
The total European market for splits, mobiles, and window units was 6.8 million units, a 10% growth compared with 2005. Seven countries—Spain, Italy, Turkey, Russia, France, Greece, and the UK—account for about 81% of the total market. The fastest-growing markets are Turkey and Russia. Turkey’s market size in 2006 was about 1.2 million units, a 58% growth over the 759,000 units recorded in 2005, which puts Turkey in the top three in the area. A 2-million-unit market is expected for Turkey in 2010.
