The growth of smart buildings is expected to drive the expansion of the robotic heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) duct cleaning market. Smart buildings are equipped with advanced technologies, sensors, and automation systems to optimize energy usage, enhance occupant comfort, and improve operational efficiency. This growth is fueled by rising demand for energy-efficient infrastructure, as businesses and homeowners aim to reduce energy consumption, lower utility costs, and minimize environmental impact. The development of smart buildings increases the need for advanced HVAC maintenance, making robotic duct cleaning essential for ensuring efficient airflow, optimal system performance, improved energy efficiency, and high indoor air quality standards. For example, in October 2024, the Central Statistics Office of Ireland reported that nearly 28% of internet users now utilize connected devices and systems, such as smart thermostats, smart meters for electricity and gas, and smart lighting, to manage home energy, representing a six-percentage-point increase from the same period in 2022. Consequently, the rise of smart buildings is driving the growth of the robotic HVAC duct cleaning market.

The increasing use of automation is expected to drive the growth of the robotic heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) duct cleaning market. Automation involves employing machines and robotic systems to perform tasks that were previously manual, enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and safety. Its adoption is driven by the ability to reduce operational costs, minimize labor requirements, improve process efficiency, and decrease errors that cause waste and rework. In the context of robotic HVAC duct cleaning, automation enables faster, more precise, and cost-effective operations while lowering manual labor and safety risks, thereby improving cleaning efficiency, consistency, and indoor air quality in residential, commercial, and industrial facilities. For example, in April 2024, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) reported that total industrial robot installations reached 44,303 units in 2023, reflecting a 12% year-on-year increase. Consequently, the growing adoption of automation is fueling the expansion of the robotic HVAC duct cleaning market.

Leading companies in the robotic heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) duct cleaning market are developing advanced solutions, including robots equipped with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration technology, to improve disinfection effectiveness.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.
