Report Outlook
The global air conditioner market size & share was valued at USD 143.86 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.10% during the forecast period.
The increased air pollution, rising temperatures, and humidity levels have created a high demand for air conditioners, particularly in urban areas. These environmental factors have significantly influenced the air conditioner market, leading to its growth. As people seek relief from the discomfort caused by hot and humid conditions, air conditioners have become essential for many households and commercial spaces. The market for air conditioners has witnessed a surge in demand, driven by the need for improved indoor comfort and air quality.
Air conditioning is the process of controlling temperature, humidity, and purity of air in enclosed spaces. It’s primarily used to maintain a level of personal comfort in closed environments. Also, it finds applications in industrial processes where they’re used to ensure the correct operation of machinery in specific environmental conditions. Besides, air conditioning may also be utilized to carry out industrial tasks producing considerable amounts of heat that needs to be disposed of in some manner.
Air conditioning is primarily achieved using air conditioner systems. Air conditioners use the same basic components and operating principles as home refrigerators. They use energy to transfer heat from an enclosed space to a relatively warm outside environment. Air conditioners cool the air by passing it over a group of cool pipes, referred to as an evaporator coil. The evaporator coil contains coolant that changes from liquid to gas as it takes away heat from the air. Air conditioners use a pump, called the compressor, to move the coolant between the coils. Emerging economies and growing urbanization are the primary factors driving the air conditioner market growth.

By Product Type Analysis
Window segment held the significant market revenue share in 2022
The Window segment holds a significant market revenue share in the air conditioner market for several reasons. Window air conditioners are widely adopted in residential and small commercial spaces due to their easy installation and efficient cooling of individual rooms. They are compact, affordable, and cost-effective, making them attractive to budget-conscious consumers.
Additionally, window air conditioners have lower energy consumption than central systems, reducing electricity bills. Continuous technological advancements have further enhanced the segment's appeal. Manufacturers have introduced innovations like smart features, remote control operation, programmable timers, and energy-saving modes. These factors, including convenience, affordability, and technological improvements, have made window air conditioners popular, leading to their dominant market position.
By End-User Analysis
The residential segment held the largest market share in 2022
The residential segment emerged as the leading revenue contributor in the market. This growth can be attributed to several factors, including the rising temperatures worldwide and the expanding middle and lower classes, leading to an increased demand for air conditioners. As temperatures rise, the health and well-being of vulnerable groups such as newborns and the elderly are at risk, causing consumers to view air conditioners as essential rather than luxury items.
Moreover, the need for energy-efficient air conditioners in residential buildings has surged due to escalating energy costs and stricter cooling efficiency standards imposed by governments. The popularity of smart homes and products has also bolstered the demand for smart air conditioners.
The commercial segment is anticipated to experience the fastest revenue CAGR in the forecast period. Replacing and retrofitting air conditioning systems in various industries, including construction, hospitality, tourism, and healthcare, fuels this growth. According to The Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association (JRAIA), while there was a 3% decline in demand for household air conditioners, a 2% increase in demand for commercial air conditioning is expected, further bolstering the revenue generated by the commercial segment.
