[edit] Market overview
Where is the air conditioning market heading? What are the trends and how has COVID-19 impacted? What is the penetration of IT and controllers on products?
Adverse air conditioning market growth is observed within the same regions and around the globe. Market fluctuations are mostly affected by waves of COVID-19, national and regional lockdowns. BSRIA research results are available on a global, regional or country level, focusing on 2020 with forecast by product to 2025.

Working from home and lockdowns benefited residential AC sales in 2020-2021. Government incentives and legislation boosted demand. Light commercial is worst affected.
[edit] Americas
USA - Strong performance of the residential market with house renovations and heatwave pushing demand.
LATAM - Worst affected but first sign of recovery recorded in Brazil.
[edit] Middle East, India and Africa
Commercial products experienced a major disruption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. IAQ and ventilation in existing buildings emphasised, with more customisation on AHUs.

Pandemic deepened the contraction which was expected before the pandemic in China with VRFs and AHUs faring well. Health crisis has increased ventilation demand.
[edit] Further information
The study looks at market sizes and characteristics, forecasts, and main suppliers. The main influencers and drivers in the market are also scrutinised: macroeconomic background, refrigerants and regulations are included. Finally, the study assesses the structure of foreign trade and market players.
