HVAC Services Market Forecast 2030: Rising Demand for Energy-Efficient Solutions

NORTHBROOK, Ill. - Sept. 3, 2026 - PRLog -- The report HVAC Services Market is projected to grow from USD 72.5 billion in 2025 to USD 97.9 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2030.

The global HVAC services market is growing steadily as aging building stock, rising urbanization, and stricter energy efficiency requirements increase the need for maintenance, retrofitting, and long-term operational support. The International Energy Agency reports that buildings account for ~30% of global energy consumption, prompting regulators to prioritize higher system performance and ongoing lifecycle servicing over one-time installations.

Digitalization is reshaping the HVAC services landscape, with predictive maintenance, IoT-enabled monitoring, and remote diagnostics becoming key differentiators in service delivery. ASHRAE and ISO building guidelines emphasize continuous performance assessment, ventilation quality, and environmental compliance, increasing the demand for certified service providers. Investments from governments, ESCOs, and green financing programs supporting net-zero trajectories are accelerating service upgrades and replacements globally. As organizations prioritize lower emissions, better indoor air quality, and reliable system performance, the market is shifting toward subscription-based service models, performance guarantees, and data-driven building operations.

"The retrofit buildings segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period."

The retrofit segment in the HVAC services market is expected to grow rapidly as a large share of global commercial and residential buildings reach the mid-to-late lifecycle stage. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), over 60 percent of today's buildings will require modernization by 2040 to meet climate and energy performance benchmarks. This trend is driving an increase in demand for commissioning services, refrigerant replacements, energy optimization audits, and predictive maintenance upgrades. Government retrofit incentives, decarbonization goals, and rising installation of heat pumps and smart HVAC systems are further accelerating retrofit service demand, particularly in aging markets across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.

"The installation services segment is projected to capture the largest share of the HVAC services market in 2025."

Installation services are expected to hold the largest market share due to the rising deployment of advanced HVAC systems, including heat pumps, VRF networks, and digitally enabled air handling and filtration units. New building activity in emerging markets and growing replacement cycles in developed regions continue to support demand for installations. Industry groups such as ASHRAE and the Building Services Research and Information Association emphasize the increasing need for certified installation expertise as systems become more complex and integrated with building automation platforms. This shift is also increasing long-term service attachment rates, where installations directly feed into future maintenance and lifecycle contracts.
