The smart air conditioners market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for smart air conditioners has seen a swift expansion of late. It's expected to elevate from a valuation of $18.74 billion in 2024 to $20.92 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%.
Factors such as heightened consumer consciousness about health and wellbeing, the surge in urbanization, the escalating demand for comfort among consumers, improved living conditions, and the emergence of energy-saving and environmentally friendly air conditioning options contributed to the growth seen in the precedent years.
The smart air conditioners market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• We can anticipate a swift expansion in the smart air conditioners market over the coming years. The market size is projected to surge to $32.46 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%.
This projected growth in the forecast period is largely due to an expanding construction sector, the rising trend of smart homes, a rise in consumer disposable income, and increased consumer demand, and growth in demand in the commercial sectors. Some major trends expected during the forecast period include the inclusion of AI-driven features, enhanced IoT connectivity, technological advancements, the introduction of new products, and user-friendly interfaces.
The expansion of the construction industry is predicted to fuel the growth of the smart air conditioner market in the future. The construction industry consists of all endeavors related to conceptualizing, designing, constructing, and maintaining buildings, infrastructure, and other substantial structures. The expansion of the construction sector is catalyzed by an increase in infrastructure investments, urbanization trends, and the requirement for environment-friendly building solutions. The demand for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, inclusive of smart air conditioners, is expected to surge as the construction sector is engaged in development, especially in residential, commercial, and industrial projects. These systems facilitate the creation of comfortable interiors. Contemporary construction projects frequently incorporate modern amenities and technologies, including smart home features, thereby fostering the adoption of smart air conditioners. For instance, an Office for National Statistics report in August 2023 stated that the estimated monthly construction output in UK saw a volume increase of 1.6% in June 2023 due to a rise in both new construction work (2.0%) and repair and maintenance activities (1.1%). From April to June 2023, there was a 0.3% increase in construction output compared to January to March 2023. Interestingly, the sole driver of this increase was the performance in June 2023, where repair and maintenance activities saw a 0.9% raise. As a result, the smart air conditioner market is experiencing growth led by the expanding construction sector.
