Increasing Demand for Cost-Effective Cooling Solutions fuels Asia Pacific Evaporative Cooler Market
Evaporative coolers use less energy which makes them a more affordable cooling solution. Also, evaporative coolers consist of fewer parts when compared with air conditioning systems, which include a fan, pump, and water. This lowers the ownership costs of the evaporative cooling systems, making them a more cost-effective solution.
According to the Canstar Blue report, the average reverse cycle split system air conditioner costs ~US$ 0.60 per hour, whereas an evaporative cooling system cost around US$ 0.10 per hour and another US$ 0.02 for water. It is also seen that ducted evaporative cooling, which is powered by inverter technology, has an annual running cost of US$ 65. In addition, ducted refrigerated air conditioning, with a 3.5-star energy rating, has annual costs of US$ 150. This price can further rise if the refrigerant ducted system is used for more than one room. Moreover, evaporative coolers only use water and no artificial refrigerants, because of which they do not exhaust the ozone layer. Thus, the evaporative cooler will help save up to 55% on energy costs and ~70 % on running costs compared to the refrigerated air conditioner. The people in the region are moving toward more energy-efficient and cost-efficient solutions. This will further create an opportunity for the growth of the Asia Pacific evaporative cooler market.
Asia Pacific Evaporative Cooler Market Overview
The Asia Pacific evaporative cooler market is segmented into China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. In APAC, China is expected to provide several opportunities for the market growth during the forecast period, owing to the rise in construction activities in residential and commercial buildings across the country. Further, a few of the major office building construction projects in China, India, Japan, and other countries in Q2 2022 are mentioned below:
Thus, the growing number of construction projects is increasing the demand for cooling systems in APAC.
Moreover, for the protection of the environment, the preference of customers has shifted from refrigerant air conditioners to water evaporative coolers, which is expected to boost the evaporative cooler market growth during the forecast period.
