The global portable air conditioners market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period from 2021 to 2029. The growth will be majorly driven by the combination of factors including rapid urbanization, increased discretionary household expenditure, and technology advances leading to the introduction of more smart energy efficient variants. Other factors driving adoption of portable air conditioners include benefits offered in terms of mobility, easy/flexible installation, and affordability as compared to other equivalents. On the contrary, portable air conditioning units make more noise than other equivalents like window or split AC units, which limits their adoption, especially among residential consumers.

Rapid Urbanization & Improving Standard of Living to Drive Market Demand in Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific represents the largest portable air conditioners market worldwide in terms of both unit shipments and market value. The region accounted for over 40% of the total market value in 2020 and expected to continue its supremacy, offering healthy growth opportunities for manufacturers during the forecast period from 2021 to 2029. The anticipated growth will be on the back of increasing discretionary income of middle class population, varying environmental conditions, and economic development resulting in infrastructural development across both residential and commercial spaces. China and Japan are by far the two largest portable air conditioner markets in the region and are prime exporters to the African and European markets. In addition, government regulations promoting use of energy efficient solutions will compel manufacturers to develop smart, eco-friendly products, thereby driving the replacement demand during the forecast period from 2021 to 2029. In developed economies such as North America and Europe, the replacement demand will be higher than fresh installations owing to market characteristics and prompt technology adoption.
