REFRIGERANT COMPRESSORS MARKET OVERVIEW

global refrigerant compressors market size was USD 20.05 billion in 2023 and market is projected to touch USD 31.61 billion by 2032 at CAGR 5.19% during the forecast period.

Refrigerant compressors utilized in air conditioning and refrigeration system reduce the capacity of gaseous refrigerants from the evaporator pressure to condenser pressure levels. New generation cooling appliances with boosted progresses in efficiency are gaining higher visibility in the market. Surging need for air conditioners due to higher spending power and extreme heat condition in developing economies is positively contributing to an increased industry expansion. The refrigerant compressor increases the pressure and temperature of the vaporized refrigerant. The refrigerant flows from the evaporator coil through the compressor and results in increase of the pressure of the coolant. The vaporized refrigerant then flows to the condenser unit where it converts to liquid state and releases heat due to the exothermic process. 

Manufacturers are actively investing in research and development to introduce advanced compressor designs, focusing on improved efficiency, reliability and compactness. Participants are fixing their efforts on encouraging R&D. Technological development are supporting the regional market growth. Manufacturers need to stay updated with changing market trends and develop products that meet growing consumer needs. Companies coming up with progressive technological solutions for firming their positions.
