South Africa HVAC Market – Overview


Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, or HVAC, is a system for maintaining and controlling the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in a room or enclosed space. These systems are used in a wide range of commercial, residential, and industrial facilities, such as family homes, apartments, hotels, hospitals, trains, airplanes, ships, etc. Ventilation is a very important aspect of HVAC as it helps in maintaining indoor air quality, which involves the removal of moisture, odors, smoke, and dust, temperature control, and oxygen replenishment.

South Africa HVAC Market – By Implementation Type

Based on implementation type, the South Africa HVAC market is split into new construction and retrofits. New construction accounts for a larger share of the South Africa HVAC market, owing to the rising construction of residential complexes as well as industries and commercial facilities for economic development. The retrofits also cover a substantial market share owing to the increasing developments in HVAC technologies and the rising penetration of smart home equipment equipped with technologies such as sensors.

Impact of COVID-19 on South Africa HVAC Market

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the South Africa HVAC market. According to the International Food Policy Research Institute, the South African economy witnessed a 5 percent decline in its GDP by the end of 2020. Additionally, according to Statistics South Africa (2020), the unemployment rate increased from 23.3% to 30.0% in the third quarter of 2020, making it the highest rate recorded since 2008. This significant decline in the average disposable income of consumers or families directly resulted in slow demand for the HVAC system, particularly in the residential segment.
