HVAC Drive Market Growth Rate

HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. HVAC drive is an electrical device used as a fan accessory that can increase and decrease the rotations per minute (RPM) of an alternating current (AC) motor. Such a device or system controls motor speed within the allowable operating range. Providing reasonable indoor air quality and thermal comfort is the key function of HVAC drives.

With rising energy costs and increased environmental awareness, energy efficiency remains a predominant trend. HVAC drives help reduce energy consumption by controlling the speed of motors in real-time based on the actual demand, significantly lowering energy usage, which fuels the HVAC drive market development. As urbanisation increases, there is a higher demand for comfortable living and working environments, which drives the need for effective HVAC systems and consequently the drives that support them. There is an increasing demand for the product in the construction of smart buildings both in the residential and commercial sectors as HVAC drive improves building energy efficiency. As a result, the market demand for HVAC drives is propelling across the world.
