Global Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) Market Size, Share, Trends, And Forecast, 2026-2031 Smart HVAC And Green Buildings Unlock Asia-Pacific Growth Opportunities

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Smart controls, energy recovery and modular units drive DOAS adoption, while green construction, stricter ventilation rules and Asia-Pacific expansion unlock opportunities.

Dublin, Oct. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Global Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) Market Outlook, 2031" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) market continues to expand as building owners, developers, and facility managers prioritize indoor air quality, energy efficiency, humidity control, and regulatory compliance. According to the research report, "Global Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) Market Outlook, 2031," the market exceeded USD 5.31 billion in 2025 and is expected to record steady growth through 2031.

DOAS technology independently manages conditioned outdoor air and latent loads, reducing pressure on primary HVAC equipment while improving ventilation performance. Modern systems incorporate energy recovery wheels, desiccant dehumidification, variable-speed fans, advanced filtration, intelligent controls, and predictive maintenance capabilities. These technologies support consistent air quality and humidity management in commercial offices, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, hotels, retail properties, manufacturing sites, and residential developments.

Growing investment in green buildings, smart infrastructure, and energy-efficient construction is strengthening global demand. New building regulations and certification programs, including ASHRAE 62.1, LEED, WELL, BREEAM, and relevant ISO standards, are encouraging the installation of high-performance ventilation systems. Opportunities are also emerging from the modernization of aging HVAC infrastructure, particularly in commercial and institutional properties.

Key Market Drivers

• Indoor air quality and ventilation regulations: Increased awareness of airborne contaminants and occupant health has accelerated demand for effective outdoor air management. Hospitals, schools, offices, hotels, and public facilities are investing in DOAS solutions to meet stricter ventilation requirements and support healthier indoor environments.
• Demand for energy-efficient HVAC systems: DOAS reduces energy consumption by managing ventilation separately from space temperature control. Rising electricity costs, sustainability targets, government incentives, and building efficiency mandates are encouraging property owners to adopt systems with energy recovery and intelligent controls.
• Growth in green construction: Developers are incorporating DOAS into low-carbon and energy-efficient projects to improve environmental performance, satisfy certification criteria, and reduce long-term operating costs.

Market Challenges

• High installation and integration costs: Energy recovery equipment, specialized ductwork, advanced controls, and professional installation can increase initial investment. Retrofit projects may require substantial modifications to existing HVAC infrastructure, creating additional cost and complexity.
• Technical design and maintenance requirements: Effective DOAS performance depends on accurate airflow design, equipment sizing, humidity control, and integration with other building systems. Limited access to qualified technicians may restrict adoption in developing markets and smaller facilities.

Technology and Product Trends

IoT-enabled sensors, building management system integration, automated ventilation controls, and real-time air quality monitoring are transforming DOAS equipment into connected building solutions. Predictive maintenance functions help operators identify performance issues, reduce downtime, and optimize energy use based on occupancy and environmental conditions.

Manufacturers are also introducing compact, modular, and packaged DOAS units for new construction and retrofit applications. Packaged systems hold a significant market position because they combine fans, filters, energy recovery components, and controls within pre-designed equipment. Their standardized configuration can shorten installation schedules, reduce design risk, and simplify maintenance.

Segment Highlights

• Capacity: Systems with less than 20 tons of cooling capacity represent the leading segment. Their compact design, cost efficiency, and suitability for offices, schools, retail properties, residential buildings, and other small to medium facilities support broad adoption. The report also evaluates 20-40 tons, 40-60 tons, and greater than 60 tons.
• Implementation: New construction is the fastest-growing implementation category. Integrating DOAS during the design phase enables optimized ductwork, equipment sizing, airflow management, and coordination with technologies such as variable refrigerant flow and chilled beam systems. Retrofit demand remains important as owners upgrade older HVAC assets.
• End user: Commercial properties account for the largest and fastest-growing share because offices, hospitals, schools, hotels, shopping centers, and large campuses require dependable ventilation for high and variable occupancy levels. Industrial applications also create demand for controlled outdoor air and humidity management.
• Requirement: Cooling leads the market as buildings across diverse climates require pre-conditioned outdoor air and reliable temperature control. The report additionally covers heating, ventilation, and dehumidification requirements.

Regional Outlook

Asia Pacific leads the global DOAS market, supported by rapid urbanization, commercial construction, healthcare and education infrastructure investment, industrial expansion, and smart city development. China, India, Japan, and South Korea are major contributors. Regional governments are introducing stricter energy standards and promoting sustainable construction, while local manufacturing networks improve equipment availability and pricing. The Middle East also presents strong opportunities because climate conditions increase the need for effective cooling and humidity control.

Competitive Landscape

Leading market participants include Daikin Industries, Carrier Global Corporation, Trane Technologies, Johnson Controls, Lennox International, Honeywell International Inc., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, and LG Electronics Inc. Competition centers on energy efficiency, modularity, filtration performance, smart building integration, dehumidification, and compliance with evolving environmental standards.

• In 2024 - Honeywell International Inc. announced plans to acquire Carrier's Global Access Solutions business for approximately USD 4.95 billion, strengthening its smart building and automation portfolio.
• In 2023 - Johnson Controls International Plc partnered with the International WELL Building Institute to expand building certification capabilities focused on health, indoor air quality, and sustainability.
• In 2022 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation invested approximately USD 113 million to expand HVAC production in Turkey.
• In 2022 - Johnson Controls International Plc introduced the York Dedicated Outdoor Air System with built-in dehumidification and support for ASHRAE ventilation requirements.
• In 2021 - LG Electronics Inc. launched compact and split rooftop DOAS units designed for installation flexibility, efficiency, and air purification.
• In 2021 - Trane Technologies plc introduced mixed-air DOAS systems through its Wellsphere initiative.
