Rising Demand for Single-Zone Mini Splits
The single-zone mini splits segment held a significant share in 2024, driven by its affordability, simplicity, and targeted cooling benefits. These systems are ideal for small homes, individual rooms, or home offices, allowing users to cool specific spaces without overhauling their entire HVAC setup. As more homeowners seek energy-efficient solutions without the need for ductwork, single zone units are emerging as the go-to option, particularly in urban environments where space and cost are critical.
Increasing Adoption in the Residential Sector
The residential segment will grow at a decent CAGR through 2034, as homeowners prioritize comfort, customization, and energy savings. These systems offer a ductless alternative to central AC, making them especially attractive for older homes or additions where duct installation is not feasible. With remote work and time spent at home increasing, there's a growing need for flexible climate control across living spaces. Brands are responding by introducing quieter models, cleaner aesthetics, and Wi-Fi enabled features that align with smart home movement.
Offline Sector to Gain Traction
The offline segment generated a sizeable share in 2024, backed by the complexity of the product and the need for expert guidance during purchase. Many customers still prefer brick-and-mortar retailers or authorized dealers to assess system performance, get installation support, and ensure after-sales service availability. Companies are strengthening retail partnerships, offering bundled installation services, and conducting in-store demos to drive consumer confidence and accelerate purchase decisions.
Asia Pacific to Emerge as a Propelling Region
Asia Pacific mini split air conditioning system market held a significant share in 2024, driven by dense urbanization, rising middle-class income, and the region's hot climate. Countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India are witnessing surging demand for compact, energy-efficient cooling solutions in both new residential developments and retrofit projects. Local and international players are focusing on expanding production facilities, customizing designs to meet regional preferences, and leveraging distributor networks to increase reach and responsiveness.
