Description

The GCC air conditioner market reached a value of about USD 3851.60 Million in 2024 . The market is further estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.90% in the forecast period of 2025-2034 to reach a value of around USD 5646.73 Million by 2034 .

Rising Demand for Centralised Air Conditioners to Aid the Market Growth in the GCC Region

Based on type, the demand for centralised air conditioners, owing to their exceptional benefits, is significantly increasing in the GCC region. Centralised AC plays a critical role in cooling the indoor area while lowering moisture levels and offers thermal comfort to the occupants, thereby increasing its adoption in the residential sector. Additionally, it can operate efficiently for years with minor routine maintenance, offers consistent temperature, and is convenient to use owing to the presence of a single control panel. These air conditioners provide space-saving options as they require no duct, and they combine the central heating system and the central air system in one cabinet, therefore eliminating the need for a separate indoor furnace. Further, the advanced filters in centralised air conditioners enable clean air circulation and eliminate airborne contaminants. These air conditioners provide a quieter operation as the compressor-bearing unit is mounted outside the building, resulting in their increased installation over window units. These factors are contributing to the growth of the GCC air conditioner market.

Market Segmentation

An air conditioner is utilised to cool and control the humidity of an inside space. The air conditioner takes the air of a space into the ducts through a vent, and the heat is removed from the air through the cool gas in the evaporator, which is then sent back into the enclosed space.

The market for air conditioner, by type, is divided into
  • Window

Rising Temperatures in the Region and Increased Living Standards Propelling the Market Growth of Air Conditioner

The increasing installation of air conditioners on a large scale can be attributed to the need for cooling amidst GCC's hot and humid climate and the surge in residential and commercial construction activities owing to rising disposable income. The expanding hospitality sector in the region is resulting in the increased demand for air conditioners in hotels and restaurants to provide thermal comfort to the guests. Additionally, the rapid development of energy-efficient air conditioners to meet the sustainability goals of the region is driving the GCC air conditioner market growth. For instance, in June 2023, an agreement was signed between Strata UAE, Hyperganic, and EOS GmbH to develop the world's most energy-efficient residential air conditioning (AC) unit as a step towards UAE’s efforts to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The strong presence of the market players in the region and their initiatives towards offering different types of air conditioners that meets the customer expectations are aiding the market growth. Over the forecast period, the development of smart and technologically advanced air conditioners that are equipped with Wi-Fi and can be controlled via smartphones is expected to aid the market.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
