Saudi Arabia HVAC TAB Services Market Future Prospects
The Saudi Arabian HVAC TAB services market size is USD 56.4 million in 2024, and it is expected to reach USD 117.1 million in 2032, with a growth rate of 9.5% during 2025–2032. This is ascribed to the growing tourism sector, rapid HVAC installation, and surging development activities in the country's residential and industrial sectors. Moreover, the demand for these services is expected to rise significantly as a result of the robust growth in the commercial construction industry of the country.
In Saudi Arabia, the extreme climatic conditions, changing lifestyles, and an increasing number of government policies aimed at revamping the country's oil-dependent economy are also projected to increase the requirement for HVAC systems and TAB services. Moreover, the rising need for energy-efficient systems and the increasing integration of smart devices into them is projected to fuel the market advance. Additionally, the rising urbanization rate in the country drives the demand for TAB offerings. Almost 85% of the kingdom’s population lives in urban areas, which has been leading to an increasing need for temperature-control systems as well as TAB services.
Furthermore, food loss and waste (FLW) have a significant economic, environmental, and social impact. It is a major worry for the country, as it imports the majority of its agricultural goods. Minimizing food loss requires the creation of suitable cold-chain storage and transportation facilities, for balanced distribution along the food supply chain.
Moreover, initiatives and activities to change people’s attitudes toward lowering FLW, through the use of HVAC systems, as well as promoting sustainable and energy-efficient systems, are needed. As there is a soaring need to prevent food waste, the Saudi Arabian refrigeration industry is growing significantly. Major players are expanding their product portfolios by providing advanced refrigeration systems, thereby driving the demand for HVAC TAB services in the country.
Saudi Arabia HVAC TAB Services Market Trends & Growth Drivers
Smart HVAC Systems Are Trending in Saudi Arabia
One of the key trends in the Saudi Arabian HVAC TAB services market is the adoption of smart HVAC systems.
The technological advancements in the designs of integrated mechanical and electrical components and control and operations of HVAC systems are leading to the reduction in power consumption, without compromising thermal comfort and resetting suitable operating parameters, including the air temperature and humidity.
To reduce energy consumption and strengthen sustainability, a large portion of customers are turning to smart HVAC systems.
The government is implementing regulations to save the environment from greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere.
As per the Kyoto Protocol, equipment emitting dangerous chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) must be replaced with eco-friendly alternatives.
The smart devices require more TAB services comparable to previously existing HVAC systems to maintain the systems in good condition.
Moreover, these automated systems allow for the real-time monitoring of the performance of HVAC equipment and better control, due to the presence of internet of things (IoT)-enabled temperature sensors and smart thermostats.
These smart HVAC systems also give better temperature variability and modulation, flow rate, and capacity, cleaner air, and low noise as compared to older systems.
Another major advantage offered by smart HVAC systems is their ability to communicate information about their energy consumption, operation, and efficiency, which can be used by consumers, building operators, and energy grid managers to adjust the length of the precooling or preheating period.
The rising spending on infrastructure and construction is supporting the growth of the Saudi Arabian HVAC TAB services market.
The country has proposed a trillion-dollar pipeline of infrastructure projects aimed at diversifying the economy beyond oil and gas and positioning itself as a global hub for investment and logistics.
Smart cities, tourism, and sustainable energy are just a few of the major areas where the growth strategy is focused on.
For instance, Saudi Arabia has already invested over USD 10 billion to develop infrastructures in 11 cities.
Additionally, around 90 million square meters will be allocated to develop accommodation for around 750,000 people. In all, the kingdom has an infrastructure pipeline worth USD 1 trillion.
Eastern Saudi Arabia is home to some of the country's most-significant infrastructure projects, including the Riyadh Metro, Red Sea International Airport, and AlUla International Airport.
Much of this infrastructure development is aided by the National Infrastructure Fund (NIF), the government’s massive investment plan for economic development.
Lack of Skilled Technicians and High Service Cost Pose Challenges
The lack of skilled professionals is likely to hinder the growth of the Saudi Arabian HVAC TAB services market.
The country is likely to face a gap of skilled professionals worth around USD 50 billion by 2030, which is nearly 5% of the total economy of the country.
Due to the shortage of skilled laborers, businesses face trouble keeping up with and fulfilling consumer demands.
The lack of a skilled workforce leads to a decline in productivity and an increase in service time, which further increase operating costs and other performance issues.
Testing, adjusting, and balancing are the three major steps used to achieve proper operations of HVAC systems.
Specialists perform air and hydronic measurements of the HVAC systems and adjust the flows as required to achieve optimum performance of the equipment as per the requirement.
The cost of these services is high; hence it would hamper the growth of the market.
The high cost of tab services is due to various factors such as the time and equipment required for servicing.
The services also involve measuring and adjusting air and water flows to meet the requirements, and optimize environmental performance and comfort of occupants.
The balancing category accounts for the largest share, of around 65%, in the Saudi Arabian HVAC TAB services market in 2024, and it is projected to witness the highest CAGR in the coming years. This is because air balancing is an important part of planning large commercial construction projects, but the same principles can easily be applied to individual homes or apartment complexes too. HVAC issues that may be identified through an air balancing inspection include damaged or perforated air ducts, loose duct joints, blockages, undersized ducts, excessively long ductwork, and ductwork with sharp turns.
The air is an unseen but crucial factor deciding worker productivity. It adversely affects workers’ health as well as the performance of the technical components in machine rooms and data centers. Therefore, the commercial and industrial sectors are focusing on testing their HVAC systems for maintaining a superior air quality and appropriate indoor climate in the workplace, which, in turn, drives the demand for testing services in the country. Moreover, companies are concentrating on offering electrical, sound & vibration, high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, network, medical gas & laboratory system, tunnel ventilation, building envelope, duct leakage, thermal imaging, indoor air quality (IAQ), and cold smoke testing and diagnosis services.
Further, during the overall TAB process, companies concentrate on adjusting the total system, to offer the desired heating and cooling and measure various electrical performance metrics. In other words, adjusting both new and existing HVAC systems restores heating and cooling equipment to its greatest operating level, stimulates system efficiency, and improves indoor comfort that designers, planners, owners, and builders initially intended.
