Evaporative or swamp coolers, commonly referred to as coolers, use water to chill the air. Particles on the water's surface are swept away by air as it passes over it. The air can cool because these particles carry away the heat. This is the primary working principle of air coolers. To learn more about them, keep reading the article.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Induced Lockdowns To Hinder Market Growth

The second COVID-19 wave, which ordered lockdowns and movement restrictions, has had a negative effect on the sector. The demand for air coolers has decreased, practically mirroring last season. The second wave of COVID-19 pandemic containment measures have once again had an impact on the cooler business, a seasonal industry with peak summer sales. The mounting instances and lockdowns have hampered the efforts for the second season in a row, despite producers and traders' hopes for improved demand and a rebound during the last year. Everything came to a standstill as the national lockdown was declared by the central authority. This time, the situation has improved a little. Lockdowns at the state or district level due to the weather have averted a total lockdown situation, permitting the sale and delivery of air coolers in some regions of the nation.

LATEST TRENDS

Solar Powered Evaporative Coolers to Propel Market Growth

It is predicted that evaporative air conditioner driven by solar energy would become more and more common. In the years to come, the global air cooler market is expected to rise as the cost of solar-powered coolers declines and environmental consciousness among consumers increases.

• According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), over 29% of global electricity generation came from renewable energy in 2022, which is fueling demand for solar-powered evaporative coolers that cut power consumption by nearly 40%.

• As per India’s Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), energy-efficient household appliances have seen adoption rates increase by 35% in the last five years, directly boosting the demand for air coolers with 5-star energy labels.

DRIVING FACTORS

Reduced Space Occupied by the Machinery to Augment Market Growth

The term refers to an established and widely used technique in the evaporative cooling industry. The primary end use markets for coolers are commercial kitchens, warehouses, and the residential sector. Due to rising environmental awareness and declining utility costs, the residential sector is projected to be among the top end users of coolers globally. In the upcoming years, portable evaporative coolers are projected to become more common in the domestic market. As they can be mounted on the wall to save space on the floor, stationary evaporative cooler demand is also anticipated to increase. Evaporative air coolers are also reasonably priced, making them accessible to a wider range of people and small businesses.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy, evaporative coolers use up to 75% less electricity compared to traditional air conditioners, making them a sustainable and cost-saving alternative for households.

• As per the World Bank’s 2023 report, over 56% of the global population now lives in urban areas, increasing the need for compact and portable cooling solutions such as tower and window-type air coolers.

Reduced Carbon Footprint to Enhance Market Sales

Evaporative coolers reduce their carbon footprint by using less electricity, which benefits the environment. It also means lower utility costs, making it a financially viable choice for those in the middle class. In the years to come, this aspect is anticipated to fuel demand for coolers. Additionally, these coolers use simply water as a refrigerant rather than any form of chemical refrigerants. As a result, the ozone layer is not harmed by these coolers. These factors are anticipated to propel market air cooler market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Hideous Designs of the Machinery to Impede Market Expansion

The issue that consumers have with conventional air coolers is that they take up a lot of room and may not fit the intended aesthetics, which has been recognised by many manufacturers. The goal of many manufacturers and product designers has been to create coolers that are more aesthetically pleasing, smaller, and sleeker.

• According to a consumer survey by India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), 47% of urban consumers reported dissatisfaction with the bulky designs of conventional coolers, which limits their appeal in modern apartments.

• As per the European Environmental Agency (EEA), around 41% of households in humid regions of Europe stated that evaporative coolers were less effective compared to conventional cooling systems, reducing adoption rates.
