Growth Drivers

Increasing Disposable Income and Economic Development

According to a report by Nikkei Asia, Vietnam's GDP per capita in 2017 was USD 2,300, although it exceeded USD 4,000 in Ho Chi Minh City and over USD 3,000 in Hanoi. The increase in disposable income created new consumers for air conditioners and other HVAC systems. The economy of the nation has been expanding at the fastest rate in Southeast Asia, at about 7% annually. The first white goods to gain popularity in a developing market are often refrigerators and washing machines, with the demand for air conditioners rising sharply after the gross domestic product per capita reaches USD 3,000. The Vietnam HVAC market is projected to witness lucrative growth opportunities with rapid economic development during the forecast period.

Restraints

High Installation and Maintenance Costs of HVAC Systems

The installation and maintenance of HVAC systems are expensive since They entail robust, intricate machinery like furnaces, central air conditioners, and ductwork that runs throughout the house’s interior framework. According to Vietnam Plus, the most often used machines are 1-1.5 HP LG and Panasonic models that cost VND 8–12 million (USD 345–515) and have inverters, timers, and touch controls. The customers are also required to pay annual maintenance and repair expenses, which range from around VND 2–4 million (USD 120–180) each year. This significantly hinders the expansion of Vietnam HVAC market.

Impact of COVID-19 on Vietnam HVAC Market

In 2020 and early 2021, Vietnam had the fewest COVID-19 cases worldwide, according to a World Bank report. However, a significant decline in income as a result of job losses negatively impacted the growth of the Vietnam HVAC market. The restrictions on the manufacturing activities and supply chain of HVAC equipment, along with limited operations in the construction industry due to the shortage of labor, are linked to the stagnation of the Vietnam HVAC market. Due to the nation's economic crisis, people's purchasing power was also impacted. All of these factors led to a sharp decline in the demand for HVAC systems in Vietnam, which had an effect on the market's overall growth.
