Heating & Air Conditioning Equipment Manufacturing in the US industry analysis
Heating and air conditioning manufacturing produces residential, commercial and industrial heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) equipment. Rock-bottom interest rates in 2020 and rising per capita disposable income supported residential construction activity, bolstering industry sales. As disposable income increased, consumers had more funds to invest in home improvements, including HVACR upgrades. The value of private nonresidential construction, a significant market for new HVACR equipment, has been hampered by reduced demand for commercial space since the pandemic. Rising interest rates and prices have weighed on HVACR equipment sales growth, contributing to an expected cooling in downstream markets. Industry revenue is forecast to drop at a CAGR of 0.1% to $52.4 billion through the end of 2024, with a 1.2% climb expected during 2024 as renovation and building activity continue to expand.
Trends and Insights
- Higher interest rates and prices have begun to weigh on industry demand. The sharp rise in rates since mid-2022 has reduced housing demand, undercutting the need for HVACR equipment. Industry impacts are becoming increasingly evident.
- Looser financial conditions spurred residential construction. The housing boom driven by low interest rates in 2020 increased demand for HVAC and refrigeration products, significantly impacting the market over the past five years.
- Manufacturers are concentrated in population centers and industrial hubs. The Southeast and Great Lakes regions host the most significant number of industry operators. These areas benefit from robust infrastructure and access to skilled labor.
- The industry has high barriers to entry. High capital costs and brand recognition limit smaller manufacturers from competing with larger, more established players. This dynamic preserves market dominance for big companies.
