Increasing demand for energy-efficient commercial air conditioners notably driving the market growth, although factors such as high initial costs associated with commercial air conditioners may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Increasing demand for energy-efficient commercial air conditioners is the key factor driving the growth of the commercial air conditioners market. Energy costs constitute an important portion of operating expenses for commercial buildings. Increasing emphasis is being placed on reducing energy consumption and lowering operating costs for businesses. Commercial air conditioners, which are more energy efficient than conventional equipment, save a substantial amount of energy.
For instance, Carrier's Greenspeed Intelligence technology, which is incorporated into the company's commercial air conditioners, optimizes performance and energy efficiency by modulating the system's operation based on the building's cooling requirements. By investing in energy-efficient solutions, businesses can achieve substantial cost savings in the long run, making it an attractive proposition for commercial building owners and operators. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the global commercial air conditioner market during the forecast period.
Growing demand for integrated systems in buildings is the primary trend shaping the commercial air conditioner market growth. HVAC controls and building systems are witnessing more integration, driving demand among end-users who seek the benefits of streamlining systems, such as lighting and access controls. This allows higher energy efficiency in managing building systems as it allows control from one interface.
For instance, access controls integrated with HVAC controls allow building managers to use a single platform to monitor cooling and increase or decrease the cooling based on the number of people in the commercial air conditioner environment. Similarly, integrated systems can use occupancy and air quality sensors for adjusting ventilation rates and air conditioning settings depending on the number of users as well as to measure ambient air quality. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the commercial air conditioner market during the forecast period.
High initial costs associated with commercial air conditioners is a major challenge to the growth of the commercial air conditioners market. Commercial air conditioners, especially larger and more advanced systems, often require significant upfront investments when compared to residential air conditioning units. They are typically larger and more complex than residential AC units, thus requiring higher-capacity compressors, larger condenser units, and more extensive ductwork.
The cost of all these components and their installation costs, along with the cost of the unit itself, is very high in commercial air conditioning units. In order to meet the increased volume and weight of these systems, the installation of commercial air conditioning installations requires additional expenditure such as specialised labour, material for connecting ductwork, electricity connections, or possible alterations in its structure. When compared to residential units, commercial air conditioners are designed to cool larger spaces and they consume more energy. This higher energy consumption translates into increased operational costs over time, which should be considered in the overall cost analysis of commercial air conditioners. Such factors are expected to pose a challenge to the growth of the global commercial air conditioners market during the forecast period.

The split system segment was valued at USD 30,909.91 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the rising demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective air conditioning systems in commercial applications. Split air conditioners are more energy-efficient than other types of air conditioners and offer a wider range of features and options. They are also relatively easy to install and maintain, which makes them a popular choice for commercial applications. For instance , market players such as Samsung in this segment continuously focus on product innovation, technological advancements, and customization to cater to the diverse requirements of commercial customers. Such factors are expected to boost the growth of the splits segment of the commercial air conditioner market during the forecast period.

In 2020, the commercial air conditioner market in North America witnessed a major downturn in revenue. The demand for industrial machinery, including commercial air conditioners, witnessed a drastic setback owing to the surge in the number of COVID-19 cases globally. The sales of equipment such as commercial air conditioners witnessed a decline owing to the nationwide lockdowns, which resulted in the shutting down of factories and production sites. Various vendors operating in the regional commercial air conditioner market witnessed a major decline in their sales as most major commercial end-users, such as hotels and resorts, were shut. However, in 2021, the launch of COVID-19 vaccines by regional governments, the decrease in the number of cases, and the easing of lockdown measures led to the resumption of various industrial and commercial operations. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the regional commercial air conditioner market during the forecast period.
