Personal Cooling Device Market

The personal cooling device market is expected to grow from USD 5.1 million in 2016 to USD 6.9 million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% between 2016 and 2022 during the forecast period. Personal cooling devices are energy efficient and less expensive which provide comfort to individuals without disturbing the ambience of other occupants in the room. In the ambient air cooling technology, the cold air is blown by the fans or mini-blower. The handheld devices need very less amount of power for running as compared to room ACs. Thus personal cooling device or handheld device serves as a power efficient cooling system. This power savvy nature of handheld devices is dynamically fueling the demand for personal cooling devices in the current scenario. The base year considered for the study is 2015 and the forecast period is between 2016 and 2022.

Application of personal cooling device in emerging applications such as motorcycle air conditioner drive the growth of personal cooling device market

Critical questions the report answers:

• What are the key upcoming technology in personal cooling device market?
• What are the major regions where personal cooling device market is growing?

HVAC systems are major substitutes for personal cooling devices as these systems provide both cooling and heating for personal comfort. The HVAC systems have more adoptability as compared to personal cooling device. As a result, this would restrain the personal cooling device market. Battery operated personal cooling devices drain out their batteries faster. These batteries need repetitive replacement, which is an annoying process for end users while using these devices at stadium, beach, travelling, and so on. Thus, there is a limitation to the running time of the device. However, the technology advancement in battery capacity will reduce the impact of this factor over the market in future. Availability of less branded product is also one of the factors restraining the personal cooling device market growth.

 The major companies in the personal cooling device market include Havells India Ltd. (India), Honeywell International (U.S.), O2Cool LLC (U.S.), Ambient Therapeutics (U.S.), Evapolar Ltd. (Russia), and others. These players adopted various strategies such as new product developments, and business expansion to cater to the needs of the personal cooling device market.
