MVHR AND PIV MARKET OVERVIEW

The global MVHR and PIV market size expanded rapidly 3.7 billion in 2023 and the market is projected to grow substantially 7.5 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 7.40% during forecast period.

The Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) and Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) markets are growing due to energy efficiency and indoor air quality. In MVHR systems, the exhaust air is taken to warm the incoming fresh air, while in PIV systems, air is filtered to create positive pressure. These systems are increasingly being used to achieve energy savings and healthy ventilation, while aligning with green building standards that meet regulations for energy efficiency and sustainability. At the same time, integration of newer IoT systems allows for better regulation of air quality and energy usage, making them increasingly desirable in buildings across residential and commercial sectors.

RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR IMPACT

"Supply chain disruption as well as highly volatile energy prices during the Russia-Ukraine war had impacted the whole market of MVHR and PIV."

The Russia-Ukraine war has, however affected the MVHR and PIV market by disrupting global energy markets and supply chains. Volatility in energy prices tends to be higher in Europe, and the people become very interested in such systems as MVHR that would reduce energy consumption. The conflict has resulted in shortages of key components that increase production costs for manufacturers while increasing lead time. In addition, this uncertainty has already led to slowdowns in construction of large structures, which may slow down demand in commercial and industrial areas. However, increasing importance being placed on energy efficiency ensures that these consumption patterns turn around to boost demand over the near term.

MVHR AND PIV MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into MVHR Systems and PIV Systems.

• MVHR Systems:MVHR systems provide heat recovery from exhaust air to preheat incoming fresh air thereby reducing heating energy costs and maintaining excellent indoor air quality. It is widely used in both domestic and commercial markets because of its energy efficiency and making it able to meet the stringent requirement of building regulations.

• PIV Systems: Positive Input Ventilation systems work by bringing filtered air into buildings, thereby creating positive pressure that forces out stale air and reduces condensation and mold problems. These are more effective, for example when dealing with older buildings or those prone to damp problems.

By Application

Based on application, the gobal market is categorized into Residential, Commercial, and Industrial

• Residential: Both MVHR and PIV systems are in great demand in residential areas due to awareness among house owners about energy efficiency and indoor air quality. New construction prefers MVHR much more because of its ability to achieve the energy performance standards.

• Commercial: Commercial buildings like offices, schools, and retail spaces account for a significant share of MVHR systems' market. High demand in this particular sector is observed due to an increased need for efficient ventilation solutions in large areas as well as building legislations.

• Industrial: Many manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and data centers adapt MVHR and PIV systems for optimizing working conditions without unnecessary energy wastage. Within industrial environments where heat recovery is said to potentially save up to 50% of total energy usage, MVHR systems may be particularly useful.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.

Driving Factors

"Increasing Stringency in Energy Efficiency Regulations to Fuel Market"

The increasing stringency in energy efficiency regulations being implemented across different regions of the world is one of the most driving factors promoting the MVHR and PIV market growth . Notably, many countries enforce such regulations to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings by enforcing strict compliance of energy-efficient ventilation systems. High efficiency of MVHR systems has made them particularly ideal for these demands. Since the governments worldwide have been forcing people to be environmentally friendly towards building, the demand for MVHR and PIV will rise substantially.

"Growing awareness about indoor air quality boosting the market"

The growing awareness about indoor air quality and the significance of air quality for healthy wellbeing is also one of the most important drivers for the MVHR and PIV market. Poor indoor air quality has been linked to a plethora of health issues, and during this COVID-19 pandemic, the world has understood better the necessity for proper ventilation in buildings. MVHR and PIV systems address good air quality but importantly also maintain energy efficiency. This awareness is on the run and pushing demand in all segments-from residences to industrial and commercial applications.

Restraining Factor

"High Initial Costs and Complexity of Installation to Potentially Hamper Market Growth"

The high initial costs of such systems, especially for MVHR, are the principal restraint to the growth of the MVHR and PIV market. Besides that, installation complexity is indeed a significant restraint, especially with respect to building types already erected. The problem with retrofitting MVHR systems is that heavy modifications often require significant alterations to the building, which can be costly and disruptive. In addition, routine maintenance and filter replacement increase the overall cost over time. These factors may disqualify some customers, particularly residential sector or areas where energy prices are very low.

Opportunity

"Retrofitting Existing Buildings Creates Opportunity for Growth in the Market"

But one of the biggest opportunities in the MVHR and PIV markets is expected in the retrofit market. With every passing day, more people are becoming aware of the importance of energy efficiency and indoor air quality. It fuels interest in upgrading older buildings with new, state-of-the-art ventilation systems. Indeed, PIV systems promise to be one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways of improving ventilation in existing structures. Advances in technology mean that compact and modular designs for MVHR systems are increasingly allowing retrofitting. Government incentives for energy-efficient renovations in most countries are further driving this opportunity.

Challenge

"A possible challenge to market growth will emerge from a lack of awareness and technical know-how about MVHR and PIV systems."

While interest in MVHR and PIV systems is growing, the biggest challenge for the market remains low customer awareness and the shortage of suitably trained operatives for installation and maintenance. Most residential and building managers have vague ideas of what these systems are, how they function and work, or their benefits. The installation and servicing of MVHR and PIV systems require technical competencies, which are normally lacking in the majority of technicians. Such ignorance can lead to improper installation or sub-optimal performance and even damage the reputation of the technology, thereby slowing down the market.
