The market is forecast to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) ofX percent from 2012 to 2017. The key drivers are the need to increase energy efficiency, achieve energy savings, and replace equipment. On the other hand, the key restraints are intense competition, high initial cost, andin the short termthe state of the economy. The unitary segment is expected to increase its share of the market revenue as the trend toward smaller and more economical units continues. All segments of the market are expected to see an upward growth trend during the forecast period. Research and development efforts are likely to continue to focus on making the equipment more energy efficient and lowering the noise levels. Another major market trend is the use of controls to increase the efficiency of the overall system rather than focusing only on the efficiency of the components. Although modest growth is expected in all verticals, the institutional vertical is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. The commercial and industrial segments are expected to show more growth potential toward the end of the forecast period. The market is characterized by traditional distribution channels such as manufacturer representatives, contractors/distributors, and the direct channel. The largest distribution channel in this market is the manufacturer representative channel. In fact, about Xpercent of HVAC equipment is distributed through this channel.

CEO's Perspective

1. Frost & Sullivan expects economic recovery and the revitalization of the construction market to drive growth after 2011. 2. A shift toward more energy-efficient equipment will continue throughout the forecast period. 3. The unitary equipment segment will witness the highest growth and increase its share of the market. 4. The institutional vertical presents a good opportunity for growth during the entire forecast period. 5. The water-cooled chillers segment will continue to lose share to the air-cooled chiller segment.
