The rapid growth of industrial and transportation sectors and continuous advancements in compressor technology are some of the key factors driving the market for air conditioning compressors in Germany.

NEWARK, DE / ACCESSWIRE / December 31, 2024 / The global air conditioning compressor market is experiencing robust growth, with total sales projected to reach USD28,600.3 Million in 2024. The industry is expected to show year-on-year growth of 4.2% in 2025, reaching USD 30,030.3 Million, and is forecasted to surge at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0% between 2025 and 2035, ultimately reaching USD 48,916.2 Million.

An essential part of the air conditioner is the compressor, also referred to as the heart of the air conditioner. During the hot weather duration, this gadget maintains a cool and cozy house by generating energy from power and moving the refrigerant required for the heat transfer process. This air conditioner's compressor is located at an exterior unit of AC. They act as an energy source for AC systems.

Growth is directly impacted by the growth of the various end-use sectors like residential, commercial, industrial as well as the transportation sector, which has been expanding steadily in recent years.

It is also estimated that the increase in global warming has skyrocketed the need for cooling systems like air conditioners and the trend is expected to further escalate during the upcoming years.

As the climatic conditions across the world continue to change drastically, demand for energy-efficient systems like air conditioning compressors is likely to rise at a strong pace during the forthcoming years. As per a report published by NASA, the global average temperature is expected to reach or exceed 1.5 degrees C within the next few decades. This will continue to generate growth opportunities for air conditioning compressor manufacturers.

Also, the data center industry is quickly growing on a domestic and worldwide level. A high-efficiency range of cooling solutions is necessary to control the environmental impact of the data center and maximize equipment performance. Due to the increasing demand for cooling solutions in data centers, it is projected that the market for air conditioning compressors would grow rapidly, creating a sizable demand for compressor manufacturers globally.
