The Global Automotive HVAC Market was valued at USD 61 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 5% from 2024 to 2032. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for enhanced passenger comfort, as modern consumers prioritize comfortable driving experience, including maintaining an optimal cabin temperature regardless of external weather conditions.
In February 2024, researchers at Birmingham University announced the development of the e-Thermal bank, a microwave-based thermochemical HVAC system for electric vehicles (EVs). This system promises a range boost of up to 70% by offloading HVAC duties from the battery, significantly enhancing energy efficiency and reducing costs.
The overall industry is divided into type, vehicle type, component, propulsion type, and region.
The market is segmented by type into automatic HVAC systems and manual HVAC systems. The automatic HVAC systems segment is expected to reach a value of over USD 55 billion by 2032. Consumers increasingly expect advanced comfort features in their vehicles, including automatic climate control that adjusts temperature and airflow based on internal and external conditions. These systems, equipped with sophisticated sensors and control algorithms, enhance comfort, efficiency, and convenience, driving their adoption.
Based on vehicle type, the automotive HVAC market is divided into passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and electric vehicles (EVs). The EV segment is the fastest growing, with a CAGR of over 5% between 2024 and 2032. The rising popularity of EVs, driven by environmental concerns, government incentives, and advancements in battery technology, boosts demand for specialized HVAC systems tailored to these vehicles. Efficient HVAC systems are also crucial for managing both cabin and battery temperatures effectively, optimizing energy use, and extending the vehicle range.
North America dominated the global automotive HVAC market in 2023, accounting for a share of over 25%. The region is home to major automotive manufacturers and suppliers, fostering innovation and the adoption of advanced HVAC technologies. North America is experiencing a surge in EV adoption, necessitating specialized HVAC systems designed to manage battery and cabin temperatures effectively. The region benefits from continuous technological advancements and investments in automotive HVAC solutions, including smart and automatic systems.
