Automotive HVAC Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Component (Compressor, Evaporator, Receiver/Drier, Condenser), Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Electric Vehicles, Commercial Vehicles), Material Type (Tapes, Wraps, Adhesives and Sealants), and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automotive HVAC Market is accounted for $20.02 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $36.36 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period. Automotive HVAC system’s main purpose is to give thermal and satisfactory air condition within the vehicle. It refers to an automated mechanism used to sustain the internal temperature of a vehicle. Automotive HVAC systems are widely used for regulating operations of heating, cooling and air conditioning, while ensuring proper ventilation within a vehicle. They also assist in controlling the air temperature, providing good air quality, ensuring thermal comfort for drivers and passengers, inspecting the moisture content in the vehicle, and emanating the excessive humidity from the circulating air. It controls the air temperature, inspects the moisture content in the air, and eliminates excessive humidity from the circulating air. Well-established companies, such as Audi, Mercedes, and BMW, focus on customized and consumer-friendly HVAC systems.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increase in demand for thermal system and automatic climate control features in automobile

Thermal console in vehicles is considered as one of the most significant factors while purchasing a vehicle. The installation of HVAC system ensures an ambient thermal environment for the driver as well as the passenger. HVAC system not only contributes to an enhanced thermal environment but also improves the effectiveness of air conditioning; thus, reducing fuel consumption. Moreover, the rise in use of automatic A/C which automatically controls cabin temperature regardless of the outside air temperature and humidity boost the growth of the automotive HVAC market. Therefore, increase in demand for thermal comfort coupled with increase in penetration of automatic HVAC system in automobiles is anticipated to propel the growth of the automotive HVAC market globally.

Restraint:

High maintenance cost
HVAC system unit is very expensive to incorporate and pricey to mend in case of a failure. An automobile HVAC unit consists of condensers, compressor, evaporators, and other components. To keep these components in good regular maintenance, working condition is necessary, which is considerably luxurious. Installation of HVAC unit and compressor is the costliest component in the systems and requires appropriate refrigerant and lubrication levels to decrease the risk of premature compression failure. Therefore, high maintenance cost of the overall components of HVAC system is expected to hamper the growth of the global automotive HVAC market.

Opportunity:

Adoption of eco-friendly refrigerants

The installation of eco-friendly refrigerants such as R744/CO2 in automobiles would not only promote the growth of the automotive HVAC market but also assist in saving the surroundings. Surrogate refrigerants such as R744 and CO2 would augment fuel efficiency and decrease pollution from vehicles, which would advantage the environment. For example, on May 2017, Sanden Automotive Components Corporation has concluded industrializations and expansion of compressors for air conditioning systems in cars using CO2 refrigerant. Therefore, espousal of eco-friendly refrigerants in automobiles holds a remarkable growth opportunity for the key players operating in the market.

Threat:

High power requirements of EV HVAC systems

To give accessory & tractive power to the vehicle, electric vehicles (EVs) use energy from electric grids. Though, due to the energy storage systems’ (battery pack) restricted precise energy the high power necessities of HVAC systems for cabin conditioning can considerably decrease vehicle range among charges. For instance, according to the International Quality & Productivity Center (IQPC), an electric vehicles (EVs) battery capacity will be abridged by around 36% by running the cabin climate control system at full power. Hence, the high power requirements of Automotive HVAC are expected to restrain the growth of the market.


The automatic heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The automatic heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) segment is anticipated to have a lucrative growth, owing to the growing demand for luxury vehicles, evolving consumer preferences, augmented demand for elevated cabin comfort, and effortlessness of operation. Automatic HVAC systems need humidity and temperature sensors to be placed inside the vehicle cabin and adjust the temperature according to the passenger needs.

The passenger cars segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The passenger cars segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period due to high growth of electric vehicles, growing disposable income, increasing demand for cars in developing nations, and stringent regulations being laid by governments in Europe and the U.S. for climate control, and the availability of various finance schemes. There is a demand for swash plate compressors in passenger cars due to the high efficiency of these systems offered at a low cost. These systems are preferred by the majority of HVAC system suppliers, augmenting the market.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the large scale production of vehicles, government initiatives to revive the automotive industry, the presence of key automobile manufacturers, and spiralling vehicle demand in developing nations such as India, South Korea, and China. China is one of the largest markets and contributes significantly to the demand for these automotive HVAC’s. The increasing demand for passenger vehicles from India, China, and their other counterparts in the Asia-Pacific region is a result of the growing preferences of people for comfort and safety. Consumers are aligning toward high specification vehicles that offer par comfort features. In addition, there is an upsurge in vehicle production by foreign companies in countries, including Thailand and Malaysia.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, due to growing buyers for the luxury vehicles in North America, rapid recovery from economic crisis, increasing vehicle production in the region, increasing income levels of people in this region, and increasing motorized technology especially in countries such as U.S. and Mexico. Additionally, rising disposable income in the U.S. and surging demand for luxury vehicles are projected to stimulate the growth of the regional market over the same period.
