Market Insights & Analysis: Kenya HVAC Market (2025-2030):

The Kenya HVAC Market size was valued at around USD 148 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 219 million by 2030. The market is also estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 6.82% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30. The rapid urbanization and infrastructure development are increasing the need for these systems in residential, commercial & industrial sectors. Also, the hot climate of Kenya necessitates effective cooling solutions, which is another growth factor for the market. Moreover, growth in the tourism and hospitality sector is driving HVAC installations in hotels and resorts. Apart from this, numerous government policies are encouraging the adoption of sustainable & energy-efficient HVAC technologies in Kenya.

The market demand is boosted by the tourism growth in Kenya through increasing activity in the hospitality sector. Increased by 15% from 2023, the country recorded 2.4 million tourist arrivals in 2024. It has further resulted in the rise of hotel occupancy by 12% from 4.62 million in 2023 to 5.17 million in 2024. This has led to an increasing number of new hotel constructions and the expansion of current hotels to meet the growing need for accommodation. For instance, the launch of JW Marriott and Pullman Hotel in 2024 in Nairobi has added hundreds of new rooms containing HVAC systems. This creates the requirement for HVAC systems to meet the international standards and provide a cool infrastructure to the guests. Hence, the market will continue to grow during the forecast period.

Also, the growing demand for modular and customizable HVAC solutions offers a lucrative opportunity for growth in urban commercial developments. They can be used perfectly in diverse applications due to their high scalability & flexibility. For instance, UniCool designs and installs advanced HVAC systems for data centers and server rooms in Kenya by meeting their specific cooling needs. Similarly, M-Cool Electro Engineering Services offers customized HVAC solutions for residential and commercial properties based on client requirements. This further leads to the shift towards flexible systems that can be tailored to meet specific requirements, which opens new growth avenues for the market.

Moreover, various government policies are helping to boost the market growth by promoting energy conservation and sustainable practices. With the target to achieve 3% annual improvement by the end of 2025, the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy 2020 enhances energy efficiency across various sectors. This has created the need for market players to invest in advanced technologies like HVAC, as they use less power while providing the required performance. Moreover, the market expansion is supported directly by the National Cooling Action Plan 2023–2027 as it promotes energy-efficient cooling solutions that also include HVAC systems in residential & commercial buildings.

Additionally, the 2023 Draft National Green Fiscal Incentives Policy Framework proposes measures to incentivize green investments. This includes tax exemptions, subsidies, and concessional loans for energy-efficient technologies like HVAC systems. These incentives help in reducing the financial burden while assisting in the adoption of better technologies. Moreover, the 2024 regulatory changes in Kenya's energy sector introduce open access to transmission and distribution systems that are expected to enhance competition and efficiency. This will indirectly benefit the market by improving the reliability of the power supply essential for HVAC operations. These policies and incentives are intensively supporting the growing market by encouraging consumers and businesses to invest in sustainably efficient cooling solutions.

Kenya HVAC Market Driver:

High Requirement in Residential Sector Driving Market Demand – One of the major drivers of the market growth is the increasing requirement for HVAC systems in Kenya’s residential sector. Cities like Nairobi & Mombasa generate major market demand due to the high temperature above 30°C, necessitating effective climate control in residences. Also, the market demand will continue to rise as 46% of Kenya’s population is expected to be urbanized by 2050. This will lead to approximately 44 million people looking for effective cooling solutions for their homes by that time.
