Key Market Trends Fueling Growth
Air conditioning (AC) systems utilize refrigerants, which are compounds capable of absorbing environmental heat and providing refrigeration or cooling when combined with components like compressors and evaporators. Vendors, including Daikin Industries and Samsung Electronics, employ various refrigerants, such as R-410A, R-32, and R-22, to meet cooling demands. R-32 refrigerant, with zero-ozone depletion potential (ODP) and low global warming potential (GWP), is gaining popularity due to its energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. R-32 ACs consume up to 10% less electricity than R-410A and R-22 models, making them an attractive choice for consumers. In March 2019, Samsung launched split ACs with R-32 refrigerant, offering higher efficiency and lower environmental impact. The increasing availability and adoption of R-32 ACs are expected to drive the global air conditioning market growth during the forecast period.
The AC market is thriving, with significant growth in both residential and commercial segments. Residential buildings are seeing increased demand for Room AC Windows, Split AC, and Smart Air Conditioners. In the commercial sector, businesses are investing in Centralized AC, VRF, Chillers, and Packaged Air Conditioners for Office Buildings, Retail Spaces, Healthcare Facilities, Data Centers, and Manufacturing Plants. Product launches and innovations, such as Inverter Technology and Energy Efficient designs, are driving the market forward. Mergers and acquisitions, collaborations, and partnerships are shaping the AC business landscape. Online Retail and Direct Sales are gaining popularity, while Distribution Sales continue to dominate. Global temperatures and urban heat are key factors driving demand. Automatic technology is replacing Manual technology for enhanced comfort and energy savings. The market is expected to grow further with the increasing focus on Energy Efficiency Standards.

Challenges
The air conditioning market is influenced by several factors that determine the price of appliances, including manufacturing costs, labor costs, and raw material prices. The cost of raw materials, such as steel, iron, plastic, glass, electronic equipment, petroleum products, and paints, significantly impacts the price of air conditioning products or the profit margins of manufacturers. Raw material prices are subject to change and can fluctuate based on international markets. Procurement of these materials involves additional costs like transportation and necessary services, supplier constraints, and inability to secure favorable arrangements for timely delivery. The prices of major raw materials like steel, rubber, iron, and plastic have seen significant volatility in the US and international markets. This price instability results in either increased product prices or reduced profit margins for manufacturers. The cost of petroleum products, which affect transportation costs for raw materials and final products, also influences market prices. Transportation costs include taxes, duties, and fuel prices, which can increase with rising crude oil prices. These factors challenge air conditioning market manufacturers to produce efficient and innovative hybrid air conditioners at competitive prices during the forecast period.
The AC market faces challenges in providing energy-efficient solutions for various sectors like residential buildings, office buildings, retail spaces, healthcare facilities, data centers, and manufacturing plants. Rising global temperatures and urban heat contribute to the increasing demand for air conditioning systems. Smart air conditioners, such as those with Inverter technology, are popular due to their energy efficiency. Energy Efficiency Standards are driving the industry to innovate with air conditioning units using non-inverter technology, window ACs, split ACs, multi-split ACs, and central ACs. Technological advancements, like NanoeX technology and smart technology, offer user comfort, improved indoor air quality, and air filtration systems for allergens and pollutants. Developing nations and urbanization require ecologically conscious goods, leading to the use of recycled materials and energy efficiency. Changing climate patterns necessitate the need for energy-efficient solutions, and commercial spaces are adopting these technologies to attract customers. Smartphones and user comfort further fuel the demand for air conditioners.

1.1 Splits-
The global air conditioning market is experiencing growth in the splits segment due to the increasing preference for energy-efficient and sleek split air conditioners. Vendors, such as Samsung, have ceased manufacturing window air conditioners and shifted production to split air conditioners to meet customer demand. Inverter-based split air conditioners are gaining popularity for their energy efficiency. The market has seen a decline in demand for ducted standard split air conditioners compared to non-ducted standard splits. Japanese-style mini-splits are becoming more popular in regions like North America as awareness grows. Refurbished products are driving demand for split air conditioners due to the increasing focus on energy efficiency and LEED certifications. Split air conditioners offer benefits such as easy installation, simultaneous heating and cooling effect, precise temperature control, and energy efficiency. They also make less noise and consume less energy than window air conditioners. These advantages have led to an increase in demand for split air conditioners, which will fuel the growth of the splits segment of the global air conditioning market during the forecast period.
