Global VRF System Market Size

The Global VRF System market is projected to grow from USD 17.8 billion in 2022 to USD 32.5 billion by 2027 at a CAGR value of 12.8% from 2022 to 2027.

VRF systems, which were first launched in Japan over 20 years ago and have since gained popularity in several nations, are still relatively obscure in the United States. VRF systems are found in about half of medium-sized commercial properties (up to 70,000 ft2 [6500 m2]) and one-third of large commercial buildings in Japan (more than 70,000 ft2 [6500 m2]). VRF systems' highly energetic capability and simple, low-maintenance requirements are the market's main growth drivers.

Increased industrial and residential units, growing awareness of sustainable energy management systems with high demand for energy-saving products, rapid urbanization with population increase, and substantial investment for infrastructural facilities are driving the market's growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, continual technological advancements in the field of VRF, low maintenance especially with the new compressors utilized, expanding government and intergovernmental organization’s insistence on clean and save power generation programs, and reduced operating cost are all factors that are expected to boost the global market.

The potential of VRF systems to consume 17% and 73% less energy than rooftop systems during the cooling and heating seasons, respectively, as well as easier modular installation, which is especially helpful for building conversion, are driving market expansion. Additionally, the capacity to respond to fluctuations in space load circumstances, as well as quicker and more cost-effective servicing and commissioning, are fuelling market expansion.

VRF systems' capacity to notify users of potential defects, offer diagnosis information, as well as provide temperature control to several thermal zones via individual indoor units is also propelling market expansion. VRF systems also provide excellent energy efficiency, particularly at part load conditions (IEER), as well as concurrent heating and cooling, flexibility in space realignment for future use, and the ability to flawlessly adapt to building modifications, all of which are variables that influence the market growth during the forecast period.

Following, the sudden outbreak and long-term presence of the covid-19 pandemic, numerous sectors were adversely impacted. However, attributable to the need for air conditioning in hospitals, the demand for VRF systems has increased marginally as a result of the global health emergency. Despite modest demand during the early stages of the epidemic, the need for VRF gradually increased.

Several studies, however, demonstrate that there are problems with the use of VRF systems, including a lack of understanding of the energy-saving benefits, greater initial costs, and code compliance requirements.

Global VRF System Market: By Component

Based on the component, the VRF system market is fragmented into outdoor units, indoor units, control systems and accessories, and others. The outdoor unit segment is expected to grow the fastest in the VRF system market from 2022 to 2027. Outdoor units' capability to provide temperature control and consequent zoned tranquillity, as well as boost total system capacity, are driving segment expansion. Incentives such as fewer malfunctions and unavailability, as well as ease of installation and operation using a variety of small pipes and cables, are fueling growth.

Global VRF System Market: By Capacity

Based on the capacity, the market is divided into up to 10 tons, 11 to 18 tons, 19 to 26 tons, and above 26 tons. The 11 to 18 tons segment is expected to grow the fastest in the VRF system market from 2022 to 2027. The increased demand for VRF systems in residential building applications, small-scale business facilities, and low-rise hotels is attributed to the segment growth. The expansion of the 11 to 18 tonnes small capacity VRF system can also be ascribed to aspects such as reduced noise, energy savings, comfortable airflow, and centralized control for small buildings.

Global VRF System Market: By System Type

Based on the system type, the global VRF system market is classified as heat pump systems and heat recovery systems. The heat recovery system segment is expected to hold a larger share as compared to the other segment. The low cost of the heat pump system, the minimal maintenance requirements, and the heightened recognition of energy efficiency are the main factors pushing its adoption. Furthermore, heat pump systems are increasingly being used in residential buildings, department shops, cellular workplaces, restaurants, lobby areas, clubhouses, and religious establishments where cooling and heating are required at the same time.

Global VRF System Market: By Application

Based on the application of the VRF system, market is divided into commercial residential, and others. The commercial segment is expected to hold a larger share as compared to the other segment. Simultaneous heating and cooling, accurate zonal control, easy temperature control, variety in function, design flexibility, and improved energy economy are only a few of the primary elements driving the increased demand for VRF systems in the commercial sector. In addition, there has been an increase in commercial buildings with the buildings sector accounting for about 76% of electricity use and 40% of all U.S is commercial buildings bolstering the commercial sector's growth.
