Global Air Handling Unit Market (AHU) by Type (Custom, DX Integrated, Low Profile), Effect (Double Effect, Single Effect), Application, Capacity - Forecast 2023-2030

The Air Handling Unit Market size was estimated at USD 13.01 billion in 2022, USD 13.75 billion in 2023, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.05% to reach USD 20.82 billion by 2030.

An air handling unit (AHU), a component of an HVAC system, controls and circulates the air. It provides clean, healthy air for people in the environment by controlling temperature, humidity levels, airborne contaminants, and airflow. AHUs can also reduce energy costs by providing efficient ventilation and conditioning of the air in the space. The global air handling unit market is rising due to increasing urbanization and encouraging product demand from various industries, particularly the food & beverages and pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Concerns associated with mechanical operations, periodic maintenance, and the high energy use of AHU are impeding product penetration. However, market players consistently offer energy-efficient solutions while focusing on adopting IoT technology within AHUs and innovations in commercial and residential applications to expand the customer base. AHUs primarily have high efficiency and low noise levels and are highly customizable with optional features such as heat recovery systems or variable speed drives. They are also being introduced in compact models, which provide small footprints for easy installation in cramped spaces.
