Air Duct Market to Grow at 4.8% CAGR, Projected to Reach $22.7 Billion by 2031

global air duct market is poised for steady growth, driven by rising demand for energy-efficient HVAC solutions and increasing construction activities worldwide

WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global air duct market size was valued at $13.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $22.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2022 to 2031.

Air ducts are essential components of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, providing efficient airflow distribution in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. They serve as conduits for heated or cooled air, ensuring proper ventilation and maintaining indoor air quality. These systems play a crucial role in removing airborne contaminants, such as dust, dirt, pollen, and other pollutants, contributing to improved air quality and thermal comfort.

𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬

The air duct market is driven by increasing consumer awareness of energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and energy conservation. The demand for air ducts has surged due to their ability to optimize heating and cooling systems while enhancing overall energy efficiency.

Different materials are used in air duct manufacturing, including galvanized steel, aluminum, fiberglass, and polymers. Galvanized steel is preferred for high-temperature applications, while aluminum is widely used in kitchen chimney ventilation and other light-duty applications. Fiberglass and polymer-based air ducts provide better insulation and flexibility, making them ideal for modern infrastructure projects. These material advancements contribute significantly to the expansion of the air duct market.

However, a major challenge facing the market is the growing adoption of ductless HVAC systems. Many consumers are opting for ductless systems due to their ease of installation, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency. This shift in consumer preference poses a potential threat to the conventional air duct market.

Additionally, stringent environmental regulations and energy efficiency standards imposed by governments and international organizations are prompting manufacturers to develop better-designed air duct systems. The increasing focus on green buildings and sustainable construction further drives demand for energy-efficient air duct solutions.
