The rapid growth of construction activities is expected to drive the expansion of the scroll compressors market going forward. Construction involves the development and assembly of structures such as residential buildings, commercial facilities, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure using planned designs, materials, labor, and equipment. Construction activity is increasing largely due to rapid urbanization, as population movement toward cities raises demand for housing, commercial spaces, and supporting infrastructure. Scroll compressors support construction activities by delivering reliable and energy-efficient compression for HVAC, refrigeration, and air management systems. They contribute to improved project efficiency and building performance by enabling compact system designs, quiet operation, and consistent temperature control in residential and commercial developments. For instance, in March 2025, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a US-based government agency, employment in the U.S. construction industry is projected to grow by 4.7% from 2023 to 2033, adding approximately 380,100 new jobs and increasing total employment to nearly 8.4 million by 2033. Therefore, the rapid expansion of construction activities is driving the growth of the scroll compressors market.

Major companies operating in the scroll compressors market are concentrating on the development of advanced solutions, such as energy-efficient and environmentally friendly compressors, to support sustainable cold chain operations. Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly compressors are advanced systems designed to lower energy consumption and reduce environmental impact while maintaining high performance levels. For example, in November 2024, Copeland, a US-based provider of sustainable environmental optimization solutions, introduced its next-generation ZBKN medium- to high-temperature series and ZFIKN low-temperature series refrigeration scroll compressors. These compressors deliver improved energy efficiency through optimized scroll geometries, high-efficiency motors, and enhanced intake and exhaust flow paths, achieving up to 20% higher energy efficiency compared with existing liquid-injection scroll compressors. Their compact design makes them well suited for applications such as small cold storage facilities, convenience stores, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, agricultural cultivation, and food processing operations.
