This report provides a comprehensive overview of the global automotive heating, ventilation and air-conditioning sector, major suppliers, top 14 markets, technology trends and market size forecasts.
What are the market dynamics of the automotive heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning market?
Demand for air conditioning systems in passenger cars has grown rapidly over the last decade and even basic systems can be found in the smallest and least expensive vehicles in developing countries. In the developed regions such as North America, Europe, and Japan, the markets are mature and nearing saturation. As demand has increased in these markets, air conditioning systems can now be found even in the lower vehicle segments such as the A and B Class in Europe. Suppliers have responded by developing compact and relatively cheap air conditioning systems. The uptake of air conditioning in developing nations will continue to rise in the foreseeable future with some countries such as India and Brazil offering significant potential for suppliers. In mature markets, suppliers are having to compete on technology and price.
The emergence of the novel coronavirus strain at the end of 2019 has far-reaching implications for the entire automotive industry. Demand for vehicles and their parts has dropped significantly, which will see revenues and profits at most suppliers and OEMs drop rapidly. Companies will have to navigate resetting or restarting auto supply chains that could face additional restrictions.
What are the key segments in the automotive heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning market?
The automotive heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning market can be segmented into automatic, standard and multi-zone air conditioning systems, compact and hybrid/electric air conditioning systems, compressor technology, and refrigerant technology.
