Marine HVAC System Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Vessel Type (Passenger Vessels, Cargo Carriers, Fishing Vessels, Others), By Technology Type (Marine Ventilation Systems, Marine Air Conditioning, Marine Heating Systems, Marine Refrigeration Systems), By Capacity (Less than 20RT, 20-90RT, Above 90RT) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The HVAC system in a marine is responsible to control the entire on-board climate conditions. HVAC systems in ships are very rarely of the same size and they cannot be fixed in every ship. Therefore, a detailed assessment of the requirements and objectives is needed to provide the ship with the best possible HVAC system. Factors such as limited space, environmental conditions, the type of cargo and type of vessel influence the decisions in the process of designing an HVAC system.

Some of the factors such as increased vehicle production, increase in sales of luxurious vehicles in developing countries and rising disposable income are some of the major factors driving the growth of the market. Also, an increase in demand for automatic climate control and thermal system features in the luxury automobile is expected to propel the growth of the automotive HVAC system market. Additionally, the implementation of non-polluting refrigerants and increased production of cheaper HVAC systems provide profitable growth opportunities for the major market players. However, the high cost of maintenance of the HVAC system is one of the major factors hampering the growth of the market.

Market Segmentation:

The global marine HVAC system market is segmented by vessel type, by technology type, by application, by capacity and by region. Based on vessel type the market is further sub-segmented into passenger vessels, cargo carriers, fishing vessels and others. Among these, passenger vessels accounted for the largest market share in the year 2020 and it is expected to grow steadily over the forecast period. The passenger vessels include ocean liners, cruise ships, yachts, ferries and other vessels. These vessel’s share in burden tonnage is insignificant compared to that of other types of vessels, and thus it is expected to drive the growth of the market.

Based on technology type the market is sub-segmented into marine ventilation systems, marine air conditioning, marine heating systems and marine refrigeration systems. Marine heating systems accounted for the largest market share in the year 2020 and it is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. These types of systems are used to heat up buildings to a particular temperature. The rapid shift in climate and increased demand for renewable energy are expected to drive the growth of the market.

Based on Capacity the market is further sub-segmented into less than 20RT, 20-90RT and above 90RT. Among these, the 20-90RT segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. Due to the increased adoption of ships with 20-90RT capacity the market is expected to experience a boost.
