The HVAC linesets market is projected to reach USD 12.59 billion by 2030 from USD 11.67 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period. The growing demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly HVAC systems is driven by stricter building energy and sustainability codes. Rapid urbanization and the ongoing construction of new residential and commercial buildings are increasing the installation of HVAC units, which in turn boosts the demand for linesets. Additionally, the development of smart, IoT-enabled, and high-performance HVAC systems has led to a higher need for leak-resistant linesets. The transition to refrigerants with lower global warming potential (GWP), in accordance with the US EPA AIM Act and F-Gas regulations, is prompting redesigns of linesets for improved performance and safety. Furthermore, the HVAC retrofit and replacement market will continue to support demand in the lineset aftermarket.
Additionally, low-carbon copper supports compatibility with next-generation, low-GWP refrigerants such as R-32 and R-454B, which require high-integrity and leak-resistant tubing. Major copper producers like Wieland Group and KME SE are investing heavily in closed-loop recycling and low-emission smelting technologies, further enhancing material availability and cost efficiency. The combination of energy-efficient HVAC adoption, green building certifications such as LEED and ENERGY STAR, and end-user demand for eco-labeled equipment is accelerating the market shift toward low-carbon copper linesets. This transition not only strengthens manufacturers’ ESG credentials but also ensures long-term competitiveness in a market driven by both performance standards and sustainability imperatives.
Government initiatives promoting sustainable building standards, such as the US Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Program and Canada’s Net-Zero Emissions Building Strategy, further stimulate installations of eco-friendly copper and aluminum linesets in new HVAC systems. Developers also favor factory-insulated and pre-flared linesets for faster installation, reduced labor costs, and enhanced system reliability - features highly valued in large-scale housing and commercial developments. Moreover, post-pandemic recovery in construction spending and the rapid growth of suburban housing are accelerating the demand for new HVAC installations rather than retrofits. While retrofit applications remain dominant in mature markets, the robust pipeline of energy-efficient building projects across North America and the Asia-Pacific is positioning new construction as the second fastest-growing segment in the HVAC linesets market through 2030.
Additionally, governments are increasingly adopting green building regulations and sustainability frameworks, encouraging the use of eco-friendly materials and low-GWP refrigerants, which in turn drives demand for high-quality copper and aluminum linesets. Rising disposable incomes, population growth, and the expansion of urban housing and retail complexes further stimulate HVAC adoption. Moreover, the presence of international HVAC manufacturers expanding local operations, such as LG Electronics, Daikin, and Johnson Controls, enhances regional supply chains and technology penetration. Combined with growing investment in data centers, healthcare facilities, and airport expansions, these factors position the Middle East & Africa as the second-fastest-growing regional market for HVAC linesets through 2030.
Extensive primary interviews were conducted to determine and verify the market size for several segments and subsegments and the information gathered through secondary research.
Low carbon is the fastest-growing material type in the HVAC linesets market during the forecast period.
Low-carbon copper is emerging as the fastest-growing material type in the HVAC linesets market due to its superior balance of performance, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. The material offers excellent thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and brazing capability similar to traditional copper but with a significantly reduced carbon footprint, aligning with industry-wide decarbonization goals. HVAC manufacturers and contractors increasingly prefer low-carbon copper linesets to meet the US Environmental Protection Agency’s AIM Act requirements and corporate sustainability targets that demand lower embodied emissions across HVAC components.Additionally, low-carbon copper supports compatibility with next-generation, low-GWP refrigerants such as R-32 and R-454B, which require high-integrity and leak-resistant tubing. Major copper producers like Wieland Group and KME SE are investing heavily in closed-loop recycling and low-emission smelting technologies, further enhancing material availability and cost efficiency.

This transition not only strengthens manufacturers’ ESG credentials but also ensures long-term competitiveness in a market driven by both performance standards and sustainability imperatives.
New construction is the second-fastest-growing implementation segment in the HVAC linesets market during the forecast period.
New construction is the second fastest-growing implementation segment in the HVAC linesets market, driven by a surge in residential, commercial, and institutional building projects across rapidly urbanizing regions. The ongoing expansion of smart cities, coupled with rising investments in energy-efficient infrastructure, has fueled sustained demand for advanced HVAC systems equipped with high-performance linesets. New constructions increasingly integrate modern refrigerants and high-efficiency heat pump technologies, requiring durable and precisely engineered linesets to ensure optimal thermal performance and leak prevention.Government initiatives promoting sustainable building standards, such as the US Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Program and Canada’s Net-Zero Emissions Building Strategy, further stimulate installations of eco-friendly copper and aluminum linesets in new HVAC systems. Developers also favor factory-insulated and pre-flared linesets for faster installation, reduced labor costs, and enhanced system reliability - features highly valued in large-scale housing and commercial developments.
