South African Commercial and Industrial HVAC Markets: A Voice of Customer Analysis
Frost & Sullivan, Sep 2010, Pages: 67
Environmental Concerns and Finite Energy Resources Boost Demand for Energy-efficient HVAC Equipment
Environmental concerns and intensifying pressure on energy resources in South Africa have increased end-user demand for energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. A significant number of end users have latched onto the green building wave and are increasingly favouring equipment that will consume less energy. “End users consider HVAC to be one of the largest sources of power consumption and this has, to some extent, limited the market,” notes the analyst of this research. “However, this is now changing due to improvements in the technology and methodologies used by suppliers.”
Recently in the mining industry, there have been two significant developments with regard to the optimisation of HVAC equipment. These include the modification of underground refrigeration systems to alter energy consumption demand and changes to the diameter of the ducting systems used to ventilate the shafts.
Focus to be on System Integration
The South African commercial and industrial HVAC markets are characterised by low product differentiation and intense competition among the existing companies. The degree of competition is high due to the fragmented nature of the market. There are several companies operating in the market and there are multiple brands that each company stocks. “End users recommend that suppliers offer systems at competitive prices to increase market share,” says the analyst. “HVAC companies should also try and offer total building technology solutions in order to sustain their competitive positions in the market.”
The growing demand for integrated systems by most end users is beginning to result in HVAC systems being sold as part of integrated systems. “End users are increasingly looking for a combination of systems,” remarks the analyst. “These could be a combination of security, lighting and HVAC systems or the inclusion of filtration, extraction, humidification and general air quality control into one HVAC system.”
