Market Dynamics

Introduction

An automotive air conditioner compressor is the throbbing heart of the air conditioning system. It is accountable for keeping the refrigerant flowing and thus ensuring smooth performance. Because of global warming, the atmospheric temperature has risen drastically in recent years, increasing consumer demand for air conditioning in automobiles.

Market Drivers

The automotive AC compressor market is driven by a host of factors, some of which are noted below:

• Increasing automotive production and a surge in the adoption of vehicle air conditioning systems in emerging markets
• Due to global warming, the atmospheric temperature has risen significantly in recent years, prompting customers to seek a more comfortable vehicle interior climate in their automobiles.
• The increase in the disposable income of the world population has led to a sharp increase in sales of passenger and household cars. The temperature in the vehicle interior has a significant impact on the driving experience and driver comfort
• Electric vehicles are becoming more and more popular in different countries. These vehicles have massive batteries and other electronic components that generate enormous amounts of heat while driving. Therefore, air conditioners are an integral part of electric vehicles and the growing popularity of electric vehicles.

COVID-19 Impact

Following the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, the market experienced a decline. Due to lockdowns across regions during COVID-19, production facilities around the world were temporarily shut down, and vehicle and equipment production came to a halt, disrupting the global automotive supply chain. As a result, the demand for automotive AC compressors decreased.

Segment Analysis

Vehicle Type

"Passenger cars segment dominated the market in 2022"

The market is segmented into passenger cars, LCVs, and HCV. The passenger cars segment dominated the market in 2022 and is likely to remain the key demand generator for automotive AC compressors in the foreseen future. 

The growth of the segment can be attributed to growing car sales in economies such as China and India. The proportion of passenger cars equipped with air conditioning is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.

Product Type

"Variable displacement compressors occupied a significant market share in 2022"

The market is bifurcated into variable displacement, fixed displacement, and electric compressors. Variable displacement compressors occupied a significant market share in 2022 & are expected to remain the most preferred automotive AC compressor type during the forecast period.

These compressors are in higher demand than the other types because they provide superior acceleration while emitting fewer carbon emissions and consuming less energy than fixed displacement compressors.

Furthermore, engine economizing tactics and severe fuel economy standards in automobiles are likely to create significant opportunities for variable displacement compressors in the coming years.

Sales channel type

"OEM segment held a market share of more than 95% in 2022"

The market is segmented as OEM and aftermarket. Between these application types, the OEM segment held a market share of more than 95% in 2022 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the review period. 

Significant investment in the manufacturing sector by developing countries has resulted in increased automotive production. The growing number of working-class car owners is expected to drive product demand in the coming years.

Regional Analysis

"Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market during the forecast period"

Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market during the forecast period. The growth of the region’s market is driven by the huge demand for the product in China. Furthermore, the initiatives taken by several Asian countries are likely to help the revival of the automotive sector, which in turn, will drive the demand for automotive AC compressors in the region during the forecast period.
