Report Description


The global refrigeration and air conditioning compressors market size was valued at around USD 30.96 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach around USD 38.66 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 2.5%, during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising adoption of refrigeration and air conditioning compressors in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Refrigeration and air conditioning compressors are cooling solutions utilized in various industries. These compressors offer refrigeration, heat pumping, and air conditioning for large-scale facilities and equipment. These compressors are also used to remove vapor from the evaporator and to raise the temperature of low-pressure gas.

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Compressors Market Outlook

Refrigeration and air conditioning compressors provide a suitable temperature that protects perishable or sensitive products from spoilage. Thus, these compressors are extensively used in a multitude of applications including food & beverages, residential, transportation, retail food outlets, and chemical healthcare.  Refrigeration and air conditioning compressors are used for the preservation of natural resources. 

Refrigeration and air conditioning compressors circulate the refrigerant under pressure. Compressors rise the pressure and temperature of the vaporized refrigerant while dissipating the heat into the surrounding. The refrigerant flows from the evaporator coil through the compressor and then passes through the condenser unit.

This will increase the pressure, then it transforms into a liquid state and releases heat due to an exothermic reaction. Moreover, the refrigerant moves from the condenser to the valve and undergoes a drop in pressure.

This refrigerant flows to the evaporator where the liquid refrigerant draws heat from the evaporator environment. This heat vaporizes the liquid refrigerant. Refrigeration systems cool objects through repeated refrigeration cycles. The evaporating temperature is raised to the condensing temperature, during cooling. While heating, the opposite occurs due to which the compressor works less, reducing power consumption.  

COVID-19 Impact on Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Compressors Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the sales & production of air-conditioners and refrigerators. The government’s stringent regulation of social distancing norms and lockdowns in many countries around the world due to the surge in COVID-19 cases.

The shutdown of several non-essential stores has adversely impacted the market demand for refrigerant and air-conditioner compressors. Due to this, AC and refrigerators have witnessed a significant decline in production & sales and disruptions in imports and exports of raw materials.

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Compressors Market Dynamics 

The report presents a complete market overview, and market dynamics by focusing on the current market trends, existing drivers, growth opportunities, and emerging challenges that shape the outcome or overall performance of the market during the forecast period, 2022 to 2030. 

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Compressors Market Dynamics

Major Drivers

Expansion of cold storage facilities and proliferating cold chain logistics industry 

The research report finds that rising urbanization in emerging economies, expansion of cold storage facilities, and proliferating cold chain logistics industry are anticipated to propel the market expansion. The increasing demand for freezer space at cold storage warehouses is expected to exceed their capacity as customers used to purchase groceries online during the pandemic to store their refrigerators with frozen food.

The rate of food spoiling is lowered to a great extent with the help of cold storage facilities. Moreover, cold chain logistics is the process that offers safe transport of temperature-sensitive products and goods including agricultural products, frozen food, seafood, chemicals, and pharmaceutical drugs along with the supply chain. 

Current Restraints

Troubleshooting issues and high maintenance cost

The troubleshooting issues and high maintenance costs are projected to hamper the market. Moreover, managing refrigerator emissions is important to protect ozone layer depletion, reduce carbon footprints, and protect human health and the environment.

Therefore, green buildings are carefully designed to reduce negative impacts on the surroundings. Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) are the main source of harm to the ozone layer. Thus, low ozone-depleting substances are used as a refrigerant.  

Market Opportunities

Helpful government initiatives for green building development 

Helpful government initiatives for green building development are expected to drive market growth. Governments are coming up with strict actions and new regulations to protect the environment, which led the manufacturers to focus on developing innovative greener cooling solutions, green building is one of them.

Variable Refrigerant Temperature Technology in green buildings regulates refrigerant temperatures to individual and environmental requirements and improves both energy efficiency and comfort.
