Vietnam District Cooling Market, By Product Technique (Free Cooling Chillers, Absorption Chillers, Electric Chillers, Others), Usage (Storage, Production, Distribution), Components (Central Cooling Plant, Chilled Distribution Network, Consumer or Energy Transfer Station), End-User (Commercial, Industrial, Residential) – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029.

Vietnam District Cooling Market Analysis and Size

A district cooling system produces chilled water within a centralized energy plant and distributes it through underground pipes to buildings connected to the system and provides them with air-conditioning. Through the district cooling network, the cooling plant pumps chilled supply water to buildings. The chilled water is fed into the customers cooling systems through a heat exchanger. District cooling delivers chilled water to offices, shopping malls, apartments, and other kinds of buildings that need indoor cooling. District cooling can be produced from local natural resources such as seawater or from chillers running on steam or electricity, which makes it an environmentally friendly option. It is also a reliable and highly secure source of cooling. District cooling is the most convenient method for production and distribution of cooling, delivering both environmental and economic benefits such as reduced carbon footprint, minimized noise and vibration impact, reduced operating redundancy, enhanced system reliability guaranteeing chilled water tariffs, reduced overall electricity infrastructure cost and capital expenditure, reduced energy consumption, reduced operational and maintenance costs, and increased comfort and safety.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the Vietnam district cooling market is expected to reach the value of USD 12,385.49 Thousand by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.

Vietnam District Cooling Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Increase in Demand for Cooling Systems in Commercial and Residential Areas

District cooling provides chilled water for indoor cooling purposes to industrial, commercial, and residential buildings through a closed-loop pipe network. District cooling delivers chilled water to offices, shopping malls, apartments, and other kinds of buildings that need indoor cooling. The world is changing, and consumers are increasingly looking for more environmentally-friendly ways to keep people cool in hot weather. District cooling also has a significant positive environmental effect by reducing CO2 emissions and pollution. These systems can also reduce electric consumption by an average of 50%, and it could be 40-60% more efficient than conventional air conditioning. For this reason, there is an increasing demand for air conditioning systems in shopping malls and offices. This increasing demand for air conditioning systems also increases the demand for district cooling systems.

• Change in Preference of Manufacturers from Conventional to Energy-Efficient Cooling Technology

The Vietnam district cooling market is witnessing changing preferences of manufacturers from conventional to energy-efficient cooling technology as district cooling systems can reach an efficiency rate typically five or even ten times higher than a traditional cooling system. District cooling is five to ten times more energy-efficient than conventional machine cooling. Space cooling is the fastest-growing use of energy in buildings in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Electricity use for cooling in buildings across the region has increased dramatically. Over the past two decades, Vietnam has witnessed dramatic increases in energy demand. The current Vietnamese economy is extremely inefficient in terms of energy consumption.

Opportunities

• Rapid Urbanization and Industrialization

Industrialization and urbanization increase the development of industries which results in the rapid adoption of district cooling across industries. Industrialization and urbanization are linked processes because industries are set up in the urban sector, which generates employment and provides a better lifestyle. This attracts people from various sectors, and the mobility of people increases from rural sectors to urban sectors to earn a better living.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Initial Capital Cost

The cost of investment for district cooling can fluctuate depending on the quality of the device, cooling load, coefficient of performance, and life expectancy. Moreover, while implementing district cooling, maintenance costs per year must be taken into consideration. District cooling requires a high initial cost for constructing plants, pipeline networks, new connections, and others which act as a major restraint for the growth of the Vietnam district cooling market.

• Difficulty in District Cooling System Implementation

A district cooling system is the most sustainable solution in which chilled water can be distributed through a network of underground pipes from a large-scale centralized chiller plant to locations. Despite the advantages of district cooling systems, full implementation of district cooling systems faces many challenges, such as site planning and interfacing issues, issues in the discharge of condensing water, construction challenges, among others.

Post-COVID-19 Impact on Vietnam District Cooling Market

COVID-19 created a major impact on the district cooling market as almost every country opted for the shutdown of every production facility except the ones dealing in producing the essential goods. The production of the district cooling system got hampered during the lockdown. In the post lockdown scenario, the growth of the Vietnam district cooling market is attributed to the increasing adoption of centralized cooling technologies across all regions and countries. Vietnam's warming, CO2 emissions are major concerns that contribute to the growth of the Vietnam district cooling market.

Manufacturers & solution providers are making various strategic decisions to bounce back post-COVID-19. The players are conducting multiple research and development activities to improve the technology involved in the DC-DC converters. With this, the companies will bring advanced technologies to the market. In addition, government initiatives related to smart energy system has led to the market's growth

Recent Development
