Scroll and Absorption Chillers Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Scroll and absorption chillers differ from traditional air conditioning systems in that they do not utilize chemicals to cool the air. These chillers can provide high-precision temperature control, assisting in increasing comfort levels within buildings or residences with minimal power usage, making them more energy-efficient than other typical air conditioners on the market today. It accomplishes this without the use of any refrigerants that, when released into the atmosphere, destroy the ozone layer.

Global Scroll and Absorption Chillers Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing Adoption Rate of Solar-Powered Absorption Chillers

In recent years, non-electricity driven equipment has seen a surge in demand from a variety of end-use industries, where primary sources could be used more efficiently. As a result, solar-powered absorption chillers have acquired substantial traction in the market for big chilling operations. These chillers provide optimal cooling performance while consuming less electricity, lowering the ever-increasing demand for electricity in the summer. As a result, the market is expected to grow rapidly. For instance, a CLFR solar collector field has been built to power a 1MW absorption chiller to provide air-conditioning for a 500-seat showpiece football stadium in Doha, Qatar, for the World Cup 2022, which is slated to be held there.

• Rising Deployment of Turbines and engines

To ensure efficient performance in turbines and engines in operation, an air conditioning device is required. The optimal temperature for turbine performance is around 1500°C. Maintaining this temperature, however, is difficult, particularly in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, where average temperatures exceed 2500°C. As a result, absorption chillers are widely used to prevent the waste of heat from turbines, and they can also be used as a power absorption chiller with low fuel costs. Therefore, the market is likely to grow in the near future as the number of turbines combined with efficient heat rate requirements grows.

Furthermore, the rising awareness regarding the need for energy conservation will act as major factor influencing the growth of scroll and absorption chillers market. Also, surging electricity costs and shortfalls of electricity will drive market value growth.

Opportunities

• Growing Waste of Heat and High Operation Cost of Ships  

Operating huge ships wastes a lot of heat, which raises the ship's operating costs and has a detrimental impact on the environment due to carbon dioxide emissions. The waste heat, on the other hand, may be used to power an absorption chiller, which could then be used to cool the vessels. As a result, market participants should expect considerable growth prospects in the near future from research and development in absorption chillers utilized in maritime applications. This is expected to boost the new market opportunities during the forecast period of 2023-2030. 

• Collaborations and Emerging Market

Rise in strategic collaborations and emerging new markets will act as market drivers and further boost beneficial opportunities for the market’s growth rate. Along with this, the constant developments in technologies and emerging new markets will provide new market opportunities in coming years.

Restraints/ Challenges

• High Capital Investment Required for Installation and High Operational Cost

Absorption chillers have higher installation costs than typical electric and mechanical chillers, resulting in a longer payback period. Absorption chillers have greater operational costs than traditional chillers, which will limit market expansion in the near future. Furthermore, local equipment suppliers and facility workers are well-trained for absorption chiller maintenance, requiring end users to sign a contract with chiller manufacturers to ensure the equipment's efficiency. Such high operating and maintenance costs are projected to stymie the market’s growth.

• Lack of Skilled Professionals

On the other hand, the dearth of skilled professionals will pose major challenges to the growth of the scroll and absorption chillers market. In addition, the competition from the centrifugal chiller industry will act as a restrain and further impede the growth rate of market during the forecast period of 2023-2030.
