U.A.E. HVAC Market Analysis

The U.A.E. HVAC market is valued at an estimated USD 1,910.4 million in 2023, which is expected to reach USD 2,773.3 million by 2030, progressing with a CAGR of 5.6% during 2024–2030. This is due to the increasing infrastructure investments in commercial, industrial, and residential sectors and growth in the tourism industry of the country.

It is also due to a sudden fall in demand, oil-dependent nations, such as the U.A.E., have witnessed a massive contraction in GDP, as the oil and gas industry contributes more than 30% to the country’s GDP.

Increasing investments in tourism-related projects, commercial infrastructure, and transportation development. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai has opened the last two phases of roads leading to the Expo site, one of the biggest road projects undertaken by the RTA. These developments in the construction and real-estate sector are projected to propel the demand for HVAC systems in the country, during the forecast period.

To reduce energy consumption and strengthen sustainability, a large portion of customers in the country are turning to smart HVAC technologies. Smart HVAC systems offer better controls, building automation systems, advanced monitoring systems, internet of things (IoT)-enabled temperature controls, and smart thermostats. Smart HVAC systems also give better temperature variability and cleaner air as compared to older systems.

These systems enable users to monitor the real-time performance of the HVAC equipment and allow temperature modulation, flow rates, and capacity. In addition, smart systems produce less noise as compared to others.

A major advantage offered by smart HVAC systems is their ability to communicate information about their energy consumption, operation, and energy efficiency, which can be used by consumers, building managers, and energy grid managers to adjust the length of precooling or preheating periods before occupation and times for on and off operations. Thus, due to the increasing demand for more sophisticated and energy-efficient technologies in the U.A.E., the demand for smart HVAC systems is increasing in the country.

The growing hospitality industry in the U.A.E. is supporting the growth of the market. The growth of the hospitality industry can be primarily attributed to the increasing tourism in the country. The total contribution of tour and travel in 2022 is around AED 167 billion, which is around 9% of the total GDP of the U.A.E. Moreover, international visitors spent around 120 billion AED in 2023.

U.A.E. HVAC Market Trends & Drivers

Demand for Energy-Efficient HVAC Systems

One of the key trends witnessed in the market is the adoption of energy-efficient HVAC systems. Technological advancements in designs of integrated mechanical and electrical components and control and operations of HVAC systems are leading to a reduction in power consumption without compromising thermal comfort, to reset the suitable operating parameters, such as the air temperature and humidity.
Energy-efficient HVAC systems are becoming popular as they consume less energy as compared to older systems and use less fuel, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Also, energy star-qualified HVAC systems cut down on energy costs. Furthermore, presently, the country is promoting energy-efficiency programs to conserve natural resources such as coal and oil.
For instance, the country launched “Energy Strategy 2050” which aims to increase the contribution of clean energy in the total energy mix to 50% by 2050 with an investment of USD 163.8 billion.
According to the U.A.E. State of Energy Report, the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy will provide 75% by the end of the year 2050 with support of USD 27.3 billion in investments.
Hence, with government support, the adoption of energy-efficient HVAC systems is expected to grow in the country.

Increasing Construction Projects in the Transportation Sector

Increasing spending on the transportation sector is one of the key drivers being noticed in the U.A.E. HVAC market. The rise in spending on metro railway expansion projects, and the construction of new airports is supporting the growth in demand for HVAC systems in the country.
In the U.A.E., there are several upcoming metro railway expansion projects. For instance, in 2023, a new 30 km metro line has been approved by Dubai, U.A.E. which will include metro and tram.
The newly approved line will made up of nine stations and five underground stations. It is expected that around 200,000 passengers daily by the end of 2030 and this number is expected to reach around 320,000 by the end of 2040.

Lack of Skilled Professionals

The lack of skilled professionals is likely to hinder the growth of the market in the country. The country is likely to face a gap of skilled professionals worth around $50 billion by 2030, which is nearly 5% of the total economy of the country.
Due to the shortage of skilled labor, 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 production time, which further increases operating costs and other performance issues.
However, diversification from oil to other sectors such as construction, infrastructure, and hospitality for income is attracting professionals from around the world and driving the country’s economy.

U.A.E. HVAC Industry Outlook

Offering Insights

Based on offering, the equipment category accounted for a higher market share in 2023 but is expected to lose its dominance over the service category in the forecast period.
The service category is directly correlated with the equipment category and includes both installation and service and repair of HVAC systems.
A higher demand for new equipment leads to a higher need for retrofitting or installation services, and a change in demand for the equipment impacts the service market positively.
The services category is a long-term association and hence is projected to generate higher revenue in 2030. Also, to maintain system longevity, performance, and efficiency, service, and preventive maintenance are highly needed in the market.
As per the industry outlook, the cooling category, on the basis of equipment type, has dominated the market till 2023, and it is projected to continue this trend during the forecast period. Due to the desert climate of the country, along with the incoming humidity from the Persian Gulf, the country witnesses unbearable heat for the most part of the year.
In addition, urbanization, owing to the continuous inflow of capital from government-sector and private-sector entities, is projected to drive the construction sector, thus creating a high demand for cooling equipment in the coming years.
As per the market findings, the upgradation/replacement category, based on service type, generated the major demand in 2023. The demand for upgradation/replacement services is primarily driven by the requirement for component replacement in the existing equipment and new sales of HVAC equipment in the country.
