An air duct system consists of a pathway for conditioned air that is, cooled or heated by the ventilation, heating, and air conditioning system (HVAC). The air duct system consists of various components such as smoke & fire dampers, vibration isolators, volume control dampers, stack boots & heads, turning vanes, terminal units, plenums, and air terminals. The air ducts are mainly classified according to their use and requirement in various industries. The material used in air ducting used according to the requirement it can be Aluminium, Galvanized Steel, Polymers, Fiberglass, and Others. In addition, the shape of the air duct can be oval, rectangular, or round shape.
Air duct technology has its application in rapid transportation, airports, and an increase in adoption of construction equipped with air duct technology. The air ducting is adopted by government offices, hospitals, Multiplex, shopping malls, manufacturing units, and transportation systems. Some advantages of having air ducting are, it creates a clean living environment that reduces dust in the premises and maintains hygiene that reduces the efforts of cleaning the interior. In addition, air not only contains specks of dust but many other harmful micro-organisms and contaminants such as bacteria, mildew, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, and other toxins.

Global HVAC Air Duct Market Segmental Overview
The report analyses the global HVAC air duct market based on product type, application, and region.
Global HVAC Air Duct Market by Product Type
Based on product type, it is segmented into sheet metal ducts, flexible non-metallic ducts, fiberglass duct boards, and others. The sheet metal ducts segment is expected to be the largest segment in the HVAC air duct market in 2021. The sheet metal ducts are rigid air ducts and are available in different sizes and shapes, such as rectangular and cylindrical. Sheet metal duct is rigid in structure which gives the advantage of less risk of kinks or bends. However, the rigidity makes it less suitable for tight or tricky spaces. Sheet metal ducts are made from either galvanized steel or aluminum. Mold resistant nature of the nonporous material used in sheet metal ducts is the prominent factor driving the market growth. Also, easy to clean smooth surfaces, durability, and lightweight are the leading factors propelling the market growth. The availability of advanced ductwork designing software and fabricated sheet metal as per requirement demand for sheet metal ducts is flourishing in commercial and residential sectors. Increasing demand for HVAC systems in the commercial industry is supporting the market growth. Due to above mentioned factors, the sheet metal ducts segment is expected to hold a major market share in 2021.
Global HVAC Air Duct Market by Application
Based on application, it is segmented into residential, commercial, and industrial. The residential segment is expected to be the largest segment in the HVAC air duct market in 2021. The residential sector is among the prominent arenas to adopt HVAC systems. The demand for residential air conditioning has been consistently surging over the years, and the trend is anticipated to continue in the coming years. This is foreseen to continue to support the growth of the HVAC air ducts market. Moreover, the construction of residential (both single-family homes and apartment buildings) showcases an upward trend in the US nations. The installation of HVAC in the residential sector is among the residents' top priorities, and due to the rising construction activities, the demand for HVAC would surge. Thus, the residential segment is expected to hold a major market share in 2021.Geographical Analysis of Global HVAC Air Duct Market

Major Players in the Global HVAC Air Duct Market
The key players studied in the global HVAC air duct market are
COVID-19 Impact
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in economic challenges owing to subsequent lockdowns. In 2020, the manufacturing industry was severely affected due to a drastic decrease in product demand, falling prices, and storage shortages. A swift decline in manufacturing revenues due to virtually nonexistent manufacturing demand and slow production capabilities had limited the expenditure on the production of HVAC air ducts worldwide. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the global HVAC air duct market in 2020.
However, in 2021, the manufacturing industry started recovering from the significant labor and supply chain challenges that triggered the production of HVAC air ducts.
