Global AC Valves Market– Introduction
- AC valves are one of the most essential parts of vehicle air conditioners to control the cooling performance. These are installed with an evaporator in the air conditioning system.
- AC valves remove pressure from the liquid refrigeration and are mainly used in air conditioners and refrigerators.
- AC valve is a kind of equipment, which is used to reduce or increase the pressure in an air conditioning system. AC valves are normally used in ventilation, heating, or air conditioning systems.
- An AC valve has the ability to control cooling flow by means of a pressure control sensor and temperature control, which are both an outlet of the evaporator.
Global AC Valves Market–Dynamics
Key Drivers of the AC Valves Market
- Higher demand from consumers for comfort, and increase in automotive production is expected to increase the growth of the AC valves market across the world.
- Rising demand for automobiles and advancement in the technology with growing per capita income are major factors expected to accelerate the AC valves market over the forecast period 2019- 2027.
- Furthermore, the demand for automatic air conditioning (AC) valves in the market is at a growing stage and is expected to rise with the regular progress in the technology, so it can replace the semi-automatic and manually operated AC system with a fully automatic system. This in turn is expected to drive the AC valves market over the years.
- However, the rising regulations concerning safety standards and the environment are likely to raise the complexity of the product. Additionally, increasing number of products serving different vehicle markets and segments based on a single platform is also expected to drive the AC valves market.
- Companies have introduced innovative AC valves with stainless steel power elements, so as to protect it from rust along with enhanced design for extended life of automotive parts. This in turn is projected to boost the AC valves market.
Asia Pacific to Hold Major Share of the Global AC Valves Market during the Forecast Period
- Asia Pacific is expected to hold a significant share of the global AC valves market during the forecast period due to the growing urbanization and increasing population that has led to the increase in industrialization and construction.
- Furthermore, rapid industrialization and the fast growing economy in India and China has had a disastrous impact on the atmosphere due to massive use of automobiles, despite the government of India and China using energy efficient devices and technologies to reduce air pollution. This in turn is expected to drive the demand for AC valves over the next few years.
- The AC valves market in South America is estimated to expand at a significant growth rate owing to the rise in automobile production in the region. Additionally, one of the important factors driving the AC valves market in the region is important investments by governments and manufacturers in South America, which in turn is enhancing vehicle production. Rapid economic development in Brazil and Argentina with respect to rising demand for convenience and comfort in automobiles are projected to drive the demand for AC valves in the region.
