Rooftop
Rooftop units are defined herein as light commercial applications, primarily above 5 tons (approximately 20KW). In the North American market, there are similar packaged residential units, which could be installed on the roof and for this reason be confusingly defined as rooftops, are not included in the market sizes. These are recorded in BSRIA’s in-depth air conditioning study for USA as a separate market.
Total world sales of roof tops amounted to 1.2 million units with a corresponding value figure of US$3.7 billion, representing a relatively flat picture; growth was 2% by value and 1% by volume over 2012. The main trend in rooftops is the increase in penetration of inverter models; particularly in Europe.
The Americas is by far the largest market representing 84% of sales by volume of the entire market for roof tops. Mexico is the second biggest market after the US which grew by around 4% by volume.
• Chillers
The world chiller market increased by 5% in volume and 3% in value, to some 400,000 units and just under USD 8.5 billion.
The most popular chillers are screw and scroll. Together with reciprocating, they account for 94% of total market by volume – though reciprocating chillers are in decline and becoming a niche market.
Asia Pacific is the largest market for chillers, with nearly 300,000 units, constituting 74% of the global market and nearly 50% in value terms in 2013. The market in the region grew 5% by value and this positive trend is expected to continue at an annual growth of 4%.
In Europe, the chiller market remained flat in value terms however contracted by 5% in volume terms in 2013.
In the Americas, the chiller market increased by 5% in both value and volume in 2013, with moderate growth expected in 2014.

The air handling unit (AHU) market value increased from 759,114 to just over 800,000 units. Europe represents the largest region for AHU sales of close to 32% by volume, with Asia Pacific in second place with 31%. Russia continues to have the largest AHU market in Europe representing 21.5% by volume followed by Germany with 20%, though Germany holds the greater share by value of 27%.
The fan coils market increased by 6% in volume compared with 2012. Total world sales amounted to nearly 6 million units in 2013. As with chillers, China holds the greatest market share by volume of 48%, and 24% by value.
