The portable air conditioner market is likely to hold a valuation of USD 1,589.4 million by 2033. As of 2023, the market value is USD 1,171.6 million. As the average global temperature rises, the portable air conditioner market is expected to grow by 3.1% from 2023 to 2033.
According to an ongoing temperature analysis led by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by at least 1.1° Celsius per decade since 1975. This has led to a surge in demand for personalized cooling appliances in areas along the coastlines and near the equator in recent years. These countries have also experienced heat waves that last up to six months, thus making portable air conditioners a necessary home appliance.
The presence of densely packed settlements, enclosed apartment spaces, and little to no vegetation has further amplified the effects of global warming in urban areas. Portable air conditioners are suitable for spaces like this as they save space and effectively cool small apartments and rooms. A lot of young professionals and city dwellers also prefer portable air conditioners because they are more cost-effective than traditional cooling solutions like central ACs and evaporators.
