Airflow and Zone Control Equipment Market Report 2026

The airflow and zone control equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.11 billion in 2025 to $6.67 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to commercial building expansion, hvac modernization, energy efficiency regulations, growth of urban housing, adoption of centralized air systems.

The airflow and zone control equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.36 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart building investments, net zero energy targets, demand for occupant comfort control, growth of green buildings, digital hvac monitoring adoption. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of smart zoning systems, energy efficient air distribution solutions, demand for indoor air quality control, integration with building automation systems, retrofitting of hvac infrastructure.

The growing demand for smart building solutions is set to boost the airflow and zone control equipment market. Smart building solutions, which use technologies such as sensors, automation, and data analytics, work to optimize building operations, including energy management, airflow, lighting, and security. This demand is primarily fueled by the rising need for increased energy efficiency, as these solutions help to reduce energy use, cut costs, and support sustainability. Airflow and zone control equipment play a crucial role within these systems by enabling precise management of temperature and ventilation, which is especially beneficial in buildings with multiple zones. These systems automatically adjust airflow depending on occupancy and environmental conditions, leading to improved comfort and lower operational costs. As an illustration, data from Ireland’s Central Statistics Office reveals that in 2024, 30% of internet users in households adopted smart solutions, up from 17% in 2022. This increasing adoption of smart building technologies is a key factor driving the airflow and zone control equipment market growth.

Leading companies in the airflow and zone control equipment sector are innovating by developing plug-and-play zoning systems to simplify setup and boost energy efficiency, comfort, and HVAC integration. Plug-and-play zoning systems are pre-assembled HVAC solutions that offer fast installation and deliver accurate temperature control across multiple building zones, which helps improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs. For example, in February 2023, Airzone, a provider of HVAC control systems based in Spain, introduced the Easyzone. This plug-and-play zoning solution is designed to optimize airflow and enhance indoor air quality for various HVAC systems used in both residential and commercial settings. The equipment incorporates precision zoning and customizable controls, enabling optimization of environmental conditions, increased energy efficiency, and better indoor comfort and air quality. Easyzone is versatile, allowing for seamless integration with a diverse array of HVAC systems to ensure precise control and efficient airflow management, which benefits both energy use and indoor comfort across different environments.
