The global district cooling market is likely to showcase a growth of around 6% during the forecast period. Increasing demand for comfort cooling and process cooling in residential and non-residential settings along with commercial benefits and reduction in peak electricity demand provided by district cooling is increasing the number of district cooling projects. It is being implemented worldwide by many kinds of organizations, including investor-owned power utilities, government-owned utilities, privately owned district energy companies, universities, airports, and IT campuses, among others. Besides this, the green building trend across the globe can be more effective if integrated with district cooling systems. Building owners and tenants are demanding higher environmental standards in building design and services. District cooling in combination with building efficiency measures can significantly improve green building certifications, especially when the district cooling system can access waste heat or renewable sources of energy that are unavailable at a single building level. Further, as countries are building smart cities, it is expected that the number of district cooling systems would grow.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst production technique, electric chillers are likely to show positive growth trend”
Based on production technique, the market is categorized into free cooling, absorption cooling, and electric chillers. Among these, the electric chiller category is expected to be widely preferred among the end-users as it provides a reduction in peak electricity demand more efficiently compared to other types. Further, the unavailability of free water is also one of the key factors behind the increasing adoption of electric chillers.
“Amongst application, commercial settings held a prominent position in the market in 2020”
Based on application, the market is categorized into commercial, industrial, and residential. Among these, the commercial establishment captured a lion’s share of the market and is expected to retain its position during the forecast period. A large number of commercial establishments like offices and hotels in GCC countries and increasing adoption of district cooling techniques to reduce buildings’ carbon footprint is driving the market.
“Middle East & Africa stood with significant market share in 2020 ”
For a better understanding of the market adoption of district cooling, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (the United States, Canada), Europe (Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Italy, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, The U.A.E., Qatar, and Rest of Middle East & Africa), and Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of Latin America). Middle East & Africa is among the leading adopter of district cooling system technology. The hot climatic condition of the region made air conditioning a necessity rather than a luxury. As a result, air conditioning consumes about 50% of the peak power load in the Middle East. This has shifted the regional economies’ focus on district cooling to reduce power consumption which in turn also helps in reducing CO2 emissions. Large construction activities and preference for district cooling systems in new building is boosting the middle east & Africa district cooling market.
