Market Segmentation By Type, Application & End-Use

Within the HVAC Equipment Market, product types include heating, ventilation and cooling. Heating covers heat pumps, furnaces, unitary heaters, boilers, electric baseboards, heating cables and others; ventilation covers air purifiers, dehumidifiers, air handling units, ventilation fans and others; cooling covers air conditioning, chillers, cooling towers and others. MMR states that air-conditioning equipment is expected to hold a prominent share, but the public summary does not disclose an exact percentage.

By sub-type, the report includes air handling units, rooftop units and others, with rooftop units identified as the leading sub-type because their compact, self-contained design suits small commercial buildings and shops. System types are central and decentralized; installation types are new construction and replacement/retrofit; and distribution channels include online, retail stores, wholesale stores and others.

By end user, MMR covers residential, commercial and industrial applications. Commercial is identified as the leading end-user segment, supported by demand for packaged air conditioners, packaged heat pumps, split systems and other unitary equipment. The public description does not publish an exact commercial-segment percentage share.
