The total demand in European market decreased 18 percent, while the US and Japan saw a rise of 2 and 2.6 percent, respectively.
The Asian and American economies were the major growth drivers which, in turn, stimulated expansion in the Asian compressor market. China and South-East Asia have become important destinations for the production of centrifugal compressors and other machine parts.
The desire for a better lifestyle with smart home products has brought about a revolution in the consumer durables market. With huge climatic variations in India, all-weather air conditioners have become an important part of a comfortable and modern lifestyle. The overall household penetration of air conditioners in India is comparatively low when compared to other South East Asian countries like Indonesia, Singapore Korea and Taiwan. China, a neighbouring country, has a household penetration of almost 53 percent as compared to 3.8 percent penetration in India in 2013.
With split air conditioners becoming more dominant, big players like Blue Star have slowly reduced their research and development (R&D) expenditure on window AC. The companies have their task cut out as price war could lead to shrinkage of market space. The companies need to invest heavily on Research and Development (R & D) in order to innovate products with better features thereby having a higher level of customer penetration.
