Modular Chillers Market Heats Up: Asia-Pacific Leads Global Surge in Energy-Efficient Cooling by 2035

The Modular Chillers Market is set to hit USD 8.1 billion by 2035, driven by smart cities, energy efficiency, and scalable cooling innovations.
Published 06 November 2025

The global Modular Chillers Market is entering a transformative decade, projected to grow from USD 3.8 billion in 2025 to nearly USD 8.1 billion by 2035, registering a steady 7.8% CAGR. This evolution mirrors the global shift toward energy-efficient and scalable cooling systems, particularly in commercial buildings, data centers, and industrial facilities.

Smart Cities and Sustainability Fuel Market Momentum

As cities evolve into intelligent ecosystems, modular chillers are becoming indispensable for sustainable HVAC solutions. With increasing focus on decarbonization and building performance optimization, the adoption of modular chillers is accelerating. These systems offer plug-and-play flexibility, low operational energy use, and adaptive load management, aligning perfectly with green building codes and ESG goals worldwide.

The market’s first major acceleration between 2028 and 2029 signifies a global shift from early adoption to mainstream integration, driven by the construction boom in commercial real estate and district cooling projects. The second growth wave post-2032 showcases the technology’s maturity, as modular chillers become standard infrastructure in urban and industrial development.

Asia-Pacific Dominates Global Growth

Asia-Pacific leads the modular chiller landscape, accounting for the largest and fastest-growing regional share. China and India are at the forefront, with respective growth rates of 10.5% and 9.8%, outperforming global averages by wide margins.

  • China: Strong investments in HVAC infrastructure, smart buildings, and green certification programs continue to push large-scale deployment in data centers and industrial facilities.
  • India: The “Make-in-India” initiative is fostering local production of modular chillers, catering to expanding cold-chain logistics, IT parks, and healthcare infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Germany and France are witnessing rapid adoption of hybrid and low-GWP refrigerant chillers, aligning with EU climate directives, while the United States focuses on digital optimization and retrofits in commercial and government buildings.

Established Players Drive Innovation; New Entrants Bring Agility

The market’s momentum is sustained by a blend of established giants and agile new entrants. Industry leaders such as Daikin Industries, Johnson Controls, Mitsubishi Electric, Carrier Global, LG Electronics, and Trane Technologies are advancing modular chiller designs with AI-driven controls, IoT-based monitoring, and eco-friendly refrigerants.

Emerging manufacturers from China, India, and Southeast Asia are disrupting the space through cost-competitive modular configurations and pre-engineered solutions for local climates. Together, these players are redefining the competitive landscape through digitalization, decentralization, and design efficiency.

Commercial Sector Leads, Retrofit Market Gains Momentum

In 2025, commercial applications represent nearly 48% of global demand, fueled by offices, hotels, malls, and mixed-use developments embracing modular chillers for their phased installation and easy scalability. Retrofit projects are also surging, particularly in older buildings where modular systems can seamlessly integrate with existing HVAC setups without major downtime.

Additionally, below 300-ton chillers are emerging as the most preferred capacity range—ideal for small to mid-sized facilities seeking compact, high-efficiency cooling with a smaller footprint.

Technology and Sustainability Shape the Next Decade

Technological innovation remains the backbone of modular chiller growth. Advancements such as variable-speed compressors, predictive maintenance algorithms, and cloud-integrated monitoring systems are reshaping how facility managers approach energy efficiency. With decentralized cooling strategies becoming standard, modular chillers are enabling load balancing, redundancy, and demand response participation in smart grid environments.

Sustainability trends are equally transformative. The growing adoption of low-GWP refrigerants and hybrid cooling modules positions modular chillers as a key component of net-zero infrastructure across commercial, healthcare, and industrial sectors.
