US VRF System Market Size and Forecast (2021 - 2031), Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis Report Coverage: By Component (Indoor Units, Outdoor Units, and Control Systems and Accessories), System Type (Heat Pump, Heat Recovery, and Cooling Only), and Application (Commercial, Industrial, and Residential)
The US VRF System Market size was valued at US$ 2.08 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 4.90 billion by 2031. The US VRF System Market is estimated to record a CAGR of 11.3% from 2023 to 2031.
The rapid urbanization and development of commercial, industrial, and residential projects drive the VRF systems market growth in the US. Compact size and flexibility are among the prominent advantages of these systems, owing to which they don't need large maintenance rooms or service shafts. Since VRF systems do not require ducts and use relatively small air handlers, they provide more flexibility for handler locations. Moreover, they don't need distribution fans and large pipes for the circulation of fluids and water pumps. These systems have compact air handlers, which are quieter and smaller than those associated with large central units and extensive ductwork. Thus, residential and commercial buildings will not experience loud AC noise disrupting business. These advantages propel the demand for VRF systems in commercial, residential, and industrial buildings across the US.
The US government provides incentives to encourage the use of renewable resources and promote practices contributing to energy efficiency. The government emphasizes on monitoring HVAC system performance at regular intervals in response to rising concerns about global warming. Standardizing production procedures of HVAC systems and their components, such as VRF systems, i.e., the supply side, has significantly mitigated environmental risks and reduced the burden posed by efficiency criteria on the demand side. According to the US Energy Information Administration's report, projected changes in cooling degree days in the US are expected to drive a 71% increase in household cooling demand by 2050. Commercial buildings are projected to see a 30% increase in cooling demand over the same period. In March 2023, the US finalized new energy efficiency standards for room air conditioners. These standards will go into effect in 2026 and are expected to result in reduced home electricity bills and carbon pollution. The VRF systems are widely used in such cases. Thus, global warming and the resulting harsh climatic conditions, the continuously growing real estate sector, and the desire for energy-efficient equipment contribute to the US VRF system market growth.
Based on system type, the market is categorized into heat pump, heat recovery, and cooling only. The heat pump segment held the largest US VRF System Market share in 2023. Heat pump VRF systems are the most common type and can either heat or cool a building, but they can’t perform both of these functions simultaneously. In the heating mode, the system extracts heat from the outdoor air and transfers it indoors via the refrigerant. In cooling mode, it reverses the process, removing heat from the indoor air and releasing it outside. These systems are ideal for environments where heating or cooling is needed one at a time throughout the building. For instance, these are used in office buildings, retail spaces, and residential buildings where different areas typically require uniform temperature settings. Heat pump systems are energy-efficient due to the use of a variable-speed compressor that adjusts the refrigerant flow based on demand. Moreover, they are simple to install and maintain compared to more complex VRF systems.
