EUROVENT


Cooling market trends


Eurovent Market Intelligence (EMI), the European reference for HVAC&R market statistics, has just released the results of its studies on 2016 sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).


Fan Coil Units


After positive growth in 2015, the fan-coil market stabilised in 2016 at 1.61 million units (+3% growth) in the whole EMEA zone. The markets in Spain and the UK are still growing (+20% and +7% respectively) and are relatively stable in countries such as France and Germany. In Italy, however, which accounts for almost 20% of the fan-coil market in the EMEA zone, sales fell by -4% and were at c. 318,000 units in 2016. As for fan coil types, the trend is the same as in the preceding years. 2-pipe units account for 77% of the market as opposed to 23% for 4-pipe units. From the point of view of design, fan coils with and without horizontal bodywork account for 30% each of the market while cassette and ducted units account for the rest of the market.


Rooftops


The European rooftop unit market grew by almost +10% in 2016 with around 12,900 units sold in Europe.


In terms of capacity and technology, medium- capacity units between 17kW and 120kW, have the highest sales figures in Europe. Reversible rooftop units are the most common in Europe with a market share of c. 65%.


As regards installation, new build accounts for 64% of the European market as opposed to 36% for renovation. Also evident is a great predominance of commercial use, accounting for 62% of units.


Air handling units


The air handling market in Europe in 2016 was up to 1.9 billion Euros, 409 million of which were in Germany, 321 million in Northern Europe, 220 million in Eastern Europe, 130 million in Turkey and 131 million in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).


As in 2015, the market remained stable within the European Union. In contrast, the market fell in Russia, the Middle East and in Africa. There was a sharp fall in Germany in 2015, but now the figures seem to have stabilised. Germany is still the world leader in this market, accounting for almost 20% of the turnover, followed by the Nordic countries at almost 15%.


The European market numbers are led by low power units (< 5000 m3


of units sold, of which 16% are very low power (below 1000 m3


/h).


In the Eurovent energy classification, over half are in the highest categories (A and A+) and 15% in category B.


Within the European Union, the type of exchanger is divided almost 50/50 between plate and wheel exchangers, compared to just 5% for run-around-coil and heat pipe exchangers. Almost 40% of the units sold are compact.


Chillers


The chiller market reached 24.5 million kW in the EMEA zone, 16.5 million of which was in the European Union.


/h), accounting for c. 60%


In Europe, there is a clear segmentation among the different powers. Small and medium-power units are sold mostly in the south of Europe. As regards machines over 700kW, Turkey is leader with a market share of 15%, closely followed by Germany at 13.5%.


Market evolution is not particularly favourable for France and the United Kingdom, which underwent falls of -12% and -20% respectively. As for Spain, Italy and Germany, the situation is stable, with growth rates ranging from -2% to +2%.


From the point of view of technology, air cooled non-ducted chillers clearly predominate, accounting for 80% of the market. If we exclude the under 50kW ranges, which include residential heat pumps, and focus on medium and large capacities, half the market is composed of ‘cold only’ non-ducted chiller production groups, of which 7% have an indirect free-cooling system, and c. 15% ‘cold only’ chillers.


As for unit compressors under 50kW, the market is made up almost exclusively of rotating compressors, half standard and half inverter driven. For units over 50kW, the market is mainly made up of screw compressors (standard or inverter) and magnetic bearing compressors, with the proviso that both are becoming increasingly common as capacities increase, accounting for 95% of the market for units over 700kw – slightly under 10% of which consists of magnetic bearing compressors.
