Air Handling Units Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Surge in Adoption of IoT in Air Handling Units

The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in air handling units has made the functioning of the system efficient. It has made it easy to collect data and store it in the cloud and also schedule maintenance according to its prediction. Moreover, monitoring, controlling, and diagnosing the system becomes cost-effective with the adoption of IoT. Since it also provides real-time data on the function of the AHU system. Hence, the further maintenance cost is reduced. For instance, loT-enabled structures may provide facility managers with early indications of any technical anomalies and enable remote diagnostics and correction, which could reduce system failures and save money.

• Growth in Crowd in Malls

People generate an equal amount of heat as a light bulb. Hence, with the growth in the number of people in malls, the temperature tends to rise. Therefore, the installation of air handling units is growing in malls.

• Rise in the Number of Data Centers

Currently, in the world, there are approximately 7,999 data centers. These data centers necessities the use of air-handling systems. To guarantee the best performance and dependability of information and technology equipment (ITE) systems, data center air handling units (AHUs) and conditioning systems are crucial.

Challenges

• Fluctuating Price of Raw Materials
• High Maintenance Cost
• High Risk to the Workers - The risk of physical damage arises while employed as an AHU technician. As a consequence of their frequent use of heavy machinery, exposure to intense heat and/or cold, and occasional contact with hazardous materials. AHU technicians experience more workplace injuries than employees in many other occupations.
