Automotive Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Compressor Market Size to grow by USD 6.32 billion between 2024-2028
According to a research report “ Automotive Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Compressor Market” by Application (Passenger cars, LCVs, MCVs and HCVs) Type (Swash plate compressors, Scroll compressors, Rotary compressors, Reciprocating compressors) Geography (APAC, Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa)- Global Forecast to 2028 published by Technavio, the market size is estimated to grow by USD 6.32 billion, at a CAGR of 7.68% during the forecast period. In the automotive industry, the conventional HVAC compressor relies on engine power through a drive belt connected to the crankshaft. This setup increases engine load, leading to increased fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions, which is a significant concern in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). To mitigate this issue, advanced HVAC compressor technology has emerged, featuring compressors powered independently by an electric motor. These electric compressors operate without the engine being switched on, thereby reducing engine load, fuel consumption, and exhaust gas emissions. This innovation in automotive HVAC systems is a game-changer for the industry, offering improved efficiency and environmental sustainability..

By Application, the Passenger cars segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024
The global automotive HVAC compressor market in the passenger cars segment has achieved near-universal penetration, with almost all automakers integrating HVAC systems into their offerings. Market expansion is primarily driven by the increasing production of passenger cars. Traditionally, the sale of internal combustion engine (ICE)-based passenger cars has experienced a decline worldwide. In response, vehicle manufacturers have adopted a cautious stance by reducing ICE-passenger car production rates. Conversely, the electric powertrain-based passenger car market has gained traction and is projected to grow substantially over the forecast period.
By Type, Swash plate compressors segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024
Swash plate compressors are a significant driving force in the global automotive heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) compressor market. These compressors employ a swash plate mechanism to transform the rotary motion of the compressor shaft into reciprocating motion, compressing refrigerant gas. The swash plate, a key component, is a disc that can be tilted or rotated relative to the drive shaft. As the drive shaft rotates, it causes the swash plate to move, altering the angle of the pistons connected to it. This movement generates varying volumes within the compressor, enabling the efficient compression and circulation of refrigerant gas through the automotive HVAC system.
APAC is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024
In the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, the automotive Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) compressor market is primarily driven by the high penetration rate of HVAC systems in the passenger cars segment, which stands at nearly 100%. This segment generates the largest revenue for the market. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of HVAC systems in commercial vehicles is also bolstering market growth. The region is anticipated to witness significant growth in the adoption of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs), particularly in China, Japan, and South Korea. This transition to electric vehicles is expected to lead to increased demand for HVAC compressors in the APAC automotive market during the forecast period. However, the shift towards electric compressors will contribute to the overall growth of the market.
