Market Definition

HVACR stands for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration, which describes the industry & technology related to the design, installation, and maintenance of systems that control indoor environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, air quality, and refrigeration. These systems are used in various settings, such as residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, as well as in vehicles, to provide thermal comfort & regulate air quality.

Market Insights & Analysis: GCC HVACR Market (2025-30):

The GCC HVACR Market size was valued at around USD 6.79 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 8.93 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 4.67% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30. The market growth is attributed to the increasing investments by the local real estate developers in housing schemes to enhance home-ownership rates, coupled with rising government spending on the tourism sector. Saudi Arabia is planning to pump nearly 4.8 billion Saudi riyals ($1.28 billion) into new housing projects in 2025 within an ongoing drive to boost housing supply for citizens. The new projects in various parts of the Gulf kingdom include nearly 16,000 houses, apartments, and villas, according to the Municipal Affairs and Housing Ministry.  In addition, the commercial, oil & gas, and government & transportation sectors are major contributors to the growth of the GCC HVACR Market.

Moreover, the surging demand for air conditioners in the region is encouraging manufacturers to launch technologically advanced ACs, like those that consume less electricity, are integrated with image sensor technology, and have 4D swing functions, among others. Besides, the rising demand for energy-efficient air conditioners is leading to increasing collaborations among competitors to develop energy-efficient residential ACS to reduce energy consumption, which, in turn, is creating lucrative opportunities for the HVACR Market growth.

Besides, economic diversification plans like the UAE Vision 2021, Saudi Vision 2030, Kuwait Vision 2035, etc., to reduce the economy's dependence on hydrocarbon exports are contributing to the expansion of the logistics sector for long-term sustained economic growth. Thus, the increasing need for refrigeration systems in the GCC, owing to the flourishing logistics sector, is spurring the HVACR Market growth in the region.

GCC HVACR Market Driver:

Expansion of Tourism Sector to Augment the Market Growth – Tourism is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the GCC region. Countries like the UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, actively encourage medical tourism, business & leisure travel, etc., by providing easy visa clearance, world-class hospitality services, etc. Consequently, there's a mounting influx of foreign visitors to these countries. These developments have been encouraging the establishment of new hotels & resorts for commercial & cultural purposes by hotel groups like Ciel, Jumeriah, and others, thereby pushing the demand for HVAC systems, eventually aiding in enhancing the GCC HVACR Market share.

Furthermore, Saudi Arabia & Qatar have set the target of increasing their tourist footfall annually by around 100 million & 6 million, respectively, by 2030 & for it, they are encouraging leisure activities, adventure sports, etc. As a result, Aman Hotel, Armani Hotels, etc., are expanding their hotel chains in these countries.

Also, as per the announcements from the Future Hospitality Summit 2024, Saudi Arabia’s $110 billion development pipeline is targeting over 362,000 new hotel rooms by 2030. The event also catalyzed significant business, with over $1.1 billion in business opportunities and 17 major deals announced in 2024, confirming its importance as a deal-making platform. It would then amplify the demand for centralized air conditioners and, in turn, fuel the HVACR Market growth in the upcoming years.
