[108 Pages Report] The modular chillers market size is estimated to be USD 2.6 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 3.5 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 6.0%. The growth in global commercial construction industry along with the competitive advantages of modular chillers is a major driving factor of the modular chillers market.
The water-cooled modular chillers dominates the market; whereas air-cooled modular chillers is expected to be the faster -growing segment during the forecast period.
The water-cooled type segment accounted for the largest share of the market, owing to its superior performance compared to the air cooled systems. The water-cooled modular chillers are ideal for cooling at large commercial places, such as corporate offices, schools, shopping malls, and hospitals. On the other hand, the air cooled segment is projected to register the higher growth, owing to its low operating cost and compact design.
The commercial application accounted for largest market share and is also projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The commercial application segment is accounted for the largest market share and is projected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The high demand from commercial applications is attributed to its high demand in the HVAC systems. Commercial applications includes air conditioning in commercial infrastructures, such as commercial offices, government buildings, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, and hotels. Population growth is expected to create demand for these commercial construction projects, which would, in turn, create the demand for modular chillers.
APAC is projected to be the largest market during the forecast period.
APAC has the most populous countries, namely, China and India. China, Japan, South Korea, and India are the key markets for modular chillers in APAC. In 2018, China accounted for the largest share of the APAC market, owing to the presence of huge HVAC and construction industries. According to the World Bank, India is expected to be one of the worlds fastest-growing economies with an estimated annual GDP expansion rate of more than 7.0% during the forecast period. In addition, the overall demand for ACs across APAC countries witnessed high growth in 2018. Thus, the overall economic scenario in APAC is favorable for the growth of the modular chillers market.
