Global Automotive AC Compressor Market: Overview

The compressor of the car is the power unit of the air conditioning system. Before the compressor pumps the refrigerant into the condenser, it puts it under high pressure and changes it into the liquid from the gas. For the air conditioning system, a fully functioning compressor is essential to provide peak performance. Air conditioning systems have not only been essential for cars but also for buses and other passenger cars.

Global Automotive AC Compressor Market: Growth Factors

The global automotive AC compressor market is growing at a rapid rate. Factors such as the rapidly growing automotive sector, increase in conversion of passenger vehicles & buses into AC vehicles in developing countries like India, and growing demand for HVAC systems in the vehicles for better & comfortable experience during a commute are fostering the growth of the global automotive AC compressor market. Since the early days of automotive assembly, on the countless front, air compressors have made people's life much easier.

With the advancement in technologies, the production of cars became easy and cheap. This led to a rise in the sales of the vehicles which in turn is boosting the growth of the market. In addition to this, the rise in disposable income, increase in purchasing power, and growing economic values in the developing countries are also some of the factors that are contributing to the rise in demand for vehicles thereby driving the growth of the global market.

Furthermore, the emergence of electric & hybrid vehicles and the rise in technological advancements may lead to ample opportunities for the growth of the global automotive AC compressor market during the forecast period. However, high cost and maintenance issues are some of the factors that may hinder the growth of the global automotive AC compressor market.

The automotive sector is been severely hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. The sudden decision of complete lockdown and strict restrictions on movement by the government to control the spread of the disease enforced the automotive sector to shut down all their operations. This hampered the production of the vehicles. In addition to this, the disruption in the supply chain led to a scarcity of raw materials. This hampered the production of the vehicles.

Moreover, a decline in the sales of the vehicles is been observed due to a change in consumer behavior and their spending towards the essential goods during the pandemic. Owing to all such factors with the decrease in demand for vehicles, the demand for automotive AC compressors also decreased. This affected the growth of the global automotive AC compressor market amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
