PRLog -- According to the latest market research study published by P&S Intelligence, the MEA (Middle East & Africa) concealed ducted air conditioners market is projected to reach
USD 899.3 million in 2024, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
5.9%, and is expected to hit
USD 1,265.7 million by 2030.
This growth is driven by robust construction activities—especially in the GCC region, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar—where booming infrastructure and high per‑capita incomes support the demand for concealed ducted HVAC solutions. Commercial applications represent the largest segment, reflecting strong uptake in offices, malls, hotels, and industrial settings.
Market dynamics vary across the region: while Gulf countries lead on account of modern sustainable infrastructure, Sub-Saharan nations like South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya exhibit growing urbanization yet lag in adoption due to informal housing and weaker infrastructure. Regulatory frameworks and economic diversification strategies among MEA nations further shape this fragmented yet promising landscape.
