Automotive HVAC refers to the technology for indoor and automotive ambient comfort, which is known as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). The three subsystems, such as heating, cooling, and air conditioning, work together to ensure that users are provided with clean air through ventilation. It also regulates the temperature of the air, inspects the moisture content of the air, and removes excess humidity from the circulating air. It is used to regulate the temperature and climate of the vehicle. The main components of automotive HVAC are the evaporator, compressor, condenser, receiver or drier, and expansion device. An evaporator is a device that ensures the refrigerant evaporates, thus changing its state from a liquid to a gaseous form. The technologies include manual and automatic. The various types of vehicles include passenger cars, commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. The global automotive HVAC market is segmented - 1) By Component: Evaporator, Compressor, Condenser, Receiver/Drier, Expansion Device 2) By Technology: Manual, Automatic 3) By Vehicle Type: Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles, Light Commercial Vehicle, Heavy Commercial Vehicle The global automotive hvac market size grew from $47.23 billion in 2022 to $51.69 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services, and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the automotive hvac is expected to grow to $72.51 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 8.8%. The increasing demand for luxury vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the automotive HVAC market going forward. A luxury vehicle is defined as a vehicle equipped with better performance capabilities, lavish interiors, and all the latest safety and technology features. In high-end luxury vehicles, the automotive HVAC system is essential to deliver a thermally comfortable environment for every passenger as per their requirements. For instance, in April 2022, according to the Deccan Herald, an Indian English-language daily newspaper, Lamborghini, an Italy-based manufacturer of luxury sports cars and SUVs, saw a 142% increase in sales from the previous year. As opposed to 26 in 2020–21, the company delivered 63 luxury and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) on Indian roads.
