Automotive HVAC Market Analysis

The Automotive HVAC Market size is estimated at USD 64.95 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 88.82 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.46% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The automotive goods and supply chain market were drastically impacted by COVID-19. The automotive HVAC system market was affected due to the outbreak of the pandemic. The decline in passenger car and commercial vehicle sales in 2020 and the temporary shutdown of vehicle and component production facilities were primarily attributed to the stringent lockdown measures prevailed by regional governments.

The regional markets were exposed to several challenges in terms of supply chain and raw material sources which got highlighted during the same period. Although 2021 has marked itself as the year of transition where the auto sector revamped its production units, and with the decline in the cases, production facilities are back in operation, and vehicle sales have increased across major geographies creating a positive outlook for the HVAC component manufacturing and sales.

Over the long term, a rise in demand for thermal comfort and an increase in safety due to the adoption of HVAC systems are expected to boost the growth of the automotive HVAC market. A reduction in system size and weight of the system may support the growth of the market over the coming years. The integration of electronics, sensors, and automated climate control features at a lesser cost is translating into greater adoption of HVAC units in passenger vehicles. Rising vehicle electrification is likely to increase the integration of advanced comfort and safety features in vehicles.

Technological innovations and substantial investments in R&D initiatives are poised to enhance players' offerings and technological capabilities. Furthermore, the adoption of eco-friendly refrigerants and the production of cheaper HVAC systems provide lucrative growth opportunities for the players operating in the automotive HVAC market. Major players are introducing advanced HVAC system in vehicle which help to fight against fine particulates in vehicle cabin.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the largest segment in the automotive HVAC market owing to the large vehicle production levels in countries such as China, India, and Japan. North America is forecasted to create new growth prospects for the manufacturers in the coming years. The European market is showing slow but steady growth and is expected to reach pre-meltdown levels over the period of the next five years.

Automotive HVAC Industry Segmentation

Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) is the technology that is used to sustain the internal climate of a vehicle. It helps in maintaining temperature (hot/cold) for the interior atmosphere of a vehicle and thus helps to provide comfort for onboard passengers.

The Automotive HVAC Market is segmented by Technology Type (Manual/Semi-Automatic and Automatic), Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars and Commercial Vehicles), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia- Pacific, South America, and Middle-East and Africa).
