Air Conditioning Systems Market was worth nearly US$100 billion in
2012 and has prospects of reaching US$178.4 billion by 2018. The
market reportedly comprised 3.5 million unit sales in the Indian
market alone in the fiscal year 2013-2014. On a global front, the
air conditioner market is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of nearly
10.5% between 2012 and 2018, according to a report published by
Transparency Market Research. According to the same report, the
Asia-Pacific region acquired nearly 34.4% share of the entire market
in 2012.
Air Conditioning Systems faces a few Pressing Issues
Overall, the global air conditioner
market is treading along a steady path of growth for the past few
years and will continue to do so in the near future as well. But, the
market is also the face for many industries that are expediting the
process of global warming by emitting large amounts of greenhouse
gases through their products. Freon, the traditionally used
refrigerant in air conditioners, is known to have a greenhouse effect
that is several times more powerful than the effect of carbon
dioxide. Thus, it is much more hazardous than carbon dioxide and has
the capability of posing serious threats to the global environment.
Are Global Air Conditioner Manufacturers taking any actions to
address these issues?
Keeping in mind that environmental protection is the largest social
issue faced by air conditioner manufacturers, global businesses are
investing in research and development of technologies that can
contribute to solving the issue of climate change resulting from
greenhouse gas emissions and large-scale consumption of conventional
energy sources.
The major steps being taken by global AC manufacturers to address
the issue are:
> Promoting use of energy-saving direct current inverter
ACs
> Developing next-generation, low greenhouse-gas-emitting
refrigerants

Direct current inverter ACs: Conventional ACs are controlled
by switches, making the process of refrigeration/heating quite slow.
Through supplying a direct current to ACs, companies are trying to
solve the issue of speed overshoot. Direct current inverter ACs are
controlled by advanced controlling technologies, making temperature
control accurate, saving time in heat transfer and reducing energy
consumption. Many global AC companies such as Daiken, LG, Samsung
electronics, among others, have come up with direct current inverter
ACs in the market. The adoption of such systems has reportedly
increased from nearly 7% in 2009 to an enormous 60% in the China
residential AC market by 2014.
Developing next-generation Refrigerants: Global AC companies
are working with governments in promoting R32, a next-generation
refrigerant, as a replacement for Freon. R32 is a substance with
properties contributing towards the protection of ozone layer and
prevention of global warming. R32 also possesses a greater energy
efficiency threshold, and is easy to recycle and reuse. Daikin, one
of the world’s prominent air conditioner manufacturers, launched
its first R32 residential-use air conditioner in Japan in 2013. The
company is planning to promote it to other regional markets as well.
