While man’s desire to control the indoor environment led to the invention of air conditioning systems, growth in population, sturdy economic progress, industrialization, rising standards of living, affordability of technology and increase in commercial applications have led to its rapid proliferation across the globe. Hitherto a luxury proposition limited to wealthy and prosperous layer of the society, comfort conditioning is fast becoming a necessity in most of the nations. This metamorphosis has opened a completely new world of opportunities for the global air conditioning systems market. Global warming continues to remain a major factor propelling market demand, especially in the residential segment. Depletion of ozone layer, El Nino effect, and global warming, make up for the primary reasons that create the need for air conditioning systems.

Purchase and use of air conditioning systems in both residential and commercial applications often goes hand in hand with the health of economy in a given country or region. For instance, an increase in per capita income pushes up consumer demand for comfort living and eventually drives demand for high value products such as air conditioning systems, while conversely in periods of slowdown, demand recedes rapidly as consumers quickly axe their spending on high-priced products. Illustrative of this trend is the pal of gloom set over worldwide air conditioning systems markets against the backdrop of the recent economic recession. The economic recession and subsequent trends such as job uncertainty, cutbacks in employee salaries, and unemployment, has left many “comfort and luxury” product markets across the globe in a state of turmoil, and the air conditioning market, given the product’s status as a discretionary item, especially in developing countries, is no exception to this trend. However, hope in the form of Government driven focus on energy efficiency injects optimism among air conditioner manufacturers, as it promises to drive demand for energy efficient air conditioning systems such as inverter based air conditioners in the upcoming years.

Another major factor, which is expected to steer the market in the next few years is the rapidly growing replacement need, particularly in mature markets such as the US and Europe. Given the growing focus on energy conservation, the demand for replacing old air conditioning systems with new energy efficient models will be on the rise, thereby adding to market gains. Replacement demand is also generated by the consumers’ need to replace their existing air conditioning systems with quieter and more feature rich air conditioner models.
