Continuous advancement in air handling unit technologies, the rapid expansion of the end-user industries like food & beverages, chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas industries and growth in the infrastructure projects are some of the prominent drivers behind the growth of the market.

The Air handling units are usually found in medium to large commercial and residential buildings, which are located in the basement, on the roof or the floors of a building. The commercial application segment is expected to contribute US$ xx Mn share in the global air handling units market and also projected to grow at a xx% CAGR during the forecast period. An increase in adoption of the air handling units in the commercial application areas like healthcare and educational institutions, manufacturing and industrial buildings, offices and retail stores are expected to boost the growth in the market. Growth in the population, urbanization, steady economic condition of modern building systems is increasing the deployment of air handling units.

Packaged air handling units are expected to contribute significant share in the global air handling units market. The significant share in the market is attributed to the superior size of packaged units and demand for the AHU unit in residential construction. Furthermore, the less than air handling units 5,000 m3/h capacity is expected to dominate the global air handling units market during the forecast period. The demand for small capacity air handling units is growing in the residential sector because of the requirements of small premises. The rapid expansion of the construction in the residential sector is expected to boost the adoption of the 5,000 m3/h capacity air handling units.

By Capacity, the 10,001 to 30,000 m³/h segment holds the largest market share in the Global Air Handling Units Market. According to MMR analysis, the segment is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3 % during the forecast period. This segment strikes an optimal balance between airflow capacity and energy efficiency, making it highly versatile across multiple end-use sectors. It is widely deployed in commercial buildings, hospitals, shopping malls, airports, educational institutions, and data centers, where there is a strong need for consistent air quality and precise environmental control. The rising emphasis on indoor air quality (IAQ), particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, has further reinforced the demand for this capacity range, as it aligns with regulatory ventilation requirements and modern HVAC standards.

The ongoing development of infrastructure and smart city projects in emerging economies has led to increased adoption of AHUs in this capacity range. The segment is also favored for retrofit projects, where older systems are being replaced with energy-efficient models without compromising on airflow requirements. Furthermore, technological advancements such as integration of IoT controls, energy recovery systems, and low-GWP refrigerants have made these AHUs more attractive to buyers seeking performance with sustainability. Overall, this segment’s dominance reflects its critical role in supporting the evolving needs of modern building environments.

Region-wise, the Asia Pacific region is projected to be a leading region in the global air handling units market. The leading position in the market can be attributed to the high economic growth rate and heavy investments across various sectors like pharmaceutical, building & construction, hospitals, data centers, and R&D laboratories. Additionally, initiatives taken by numerous governments for the inflow of foreign investments to support domestic demand are expected to share significant growth in the market.

The global air handling unit market is experiencing significant growth because of the presence of several large key players with diversified operations. A recent development in building design and a rise in focus on the energy efficiency of building structures have created opportunities for air handling unit key players to expand their presence in the market. Some of the prominent key players are focusing on innovative products to create their robust presence in the market. For instance, in 2022, VTS Group launched VENTUS S-type (SVS), which is a new generation air handling unit. It is a 40mm double-skin casing along with superior efficiency in terms of energy and performance.
