U.S. Split Units Market Size & Share Analysis - Trends, Drivers, Competitive Landscape, and Forecasts (2025 - 2032)
The U.S. split units market is projected to grow from $2,185.5 million in 2024 to $2,888.7 million by 2032, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% during 2025-2032. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for flexible, efficient, and effective temperature control solutions in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Split units are favored for their easy installation, energy efficiency, and customizable features.
Key Insights
Split units include ductless systems, preferred for their energy efficiency and suitability for residential and small commercial spaces; variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, ideal for larger buildings with precise temperature control needs; and centralized systems used in extensive commercial or industrial settings for uniform cooling.
Systems are available in capacities less than 2 tons for small rooms and residential use, 2-4 tons for medium-sized spaces like larger residential areas and small businesses, and more than 4 tons for large commercial and industrial spaces.
Installation options include wall-mounted units for residential settings, ceiling-mounted systems for even air distribution in commercial areas, and floor-standing units for locations where wall or ceiling installations are impractical.
End users span residential homeowners seeking efficient cooling solutions, commercial businesses prioritizing employee comfort and operational efficiency, and industrial facilities requiring robust systems to maintain machinery and process temperatures.
The South leads the market in size and growth, driven by higher temperatures and robust construction activities. The Midwest sees steady growth from industrial demand and infrastructure development, while the Northeast and West experience moderate growth supported by urbanization and modernization projects.
Increasing temperatures across the U.S. drive demand for advanced cooling systems, while infrastructure spending on construction and renovations further boosts market growth. The rising emphasis on energy efficiency aligns with consumer and business efforts to reduce utility costs and environmental impact.
Trends include the adoption of inverter technology for enhanced energy efficiency, integration of IoT and remote control features for improved usability, and advanced air filtration systems for better air quality. Government initiatives promoting high-efficiency cooling systems also encourage adoption.
The market features a competitive landscape with players focusing on innovation, partnerships, and expanding product portfolios to meet evolving consumer and business needs.
