Global warming has caused drastic effects on the environmental conditions making it more difficult to resist the hot and humid temperature. The reason why heat and humidity are always mentioned along with the prime reasons for installation of ACs is; heat in itself is not a major problem to survive with, what actually worsens the condition is the amalgamation of humidity along. Moving back to a few decades earlier, air coolers were sufficient to survive in summers, but with the rising effect of greenhouse gases the level of warming mixed with humidity has crossed the tolerance level of humans. As a result, not only from the tropical regions, but the demand for air conditioners steadily made its impact from all over the globe. Another significant reason that has suddenly raised the air conditioner’s demand is environmental pollution. As typically interconnected it sounds, the presence of pollutants in the natural air either in the form of pollens, dirt or other forms of molds and microbes, have altogether made air conditioner as the need of the hour. The advanced lifestyle increased awareness towards sanitation and the major influence of urbanization has compelled people to look air conditioners as the next must-have.
The increased emission of carbon dioxide, being the prime cause of global warming has also contributed to air pollution with the emanation of other pollutant gases. After a few major regions like China, the US, and European Union, countries like India emits the colossal amount of carbon dioxide that has deteriorated the overall ecological factors including the temperature and the air quality. If talked about the purity of air quality and its consequent impact on health, the country capital of India, which is Delhi, has suddenly gained so much attention. Unfortunately, it is common to see the air quality index levels reach 165 with a PM of 2.5. It is worth informing that the air quality index or commonly used term AQI is the indicator of the level of air pollution in a particular region and PM being the particulate matter. It is needless to mention the diminishing quality of air catalyzes the respiratory disease rates making the life of such people more jeopardizing. The result of which, the air conditioner has become the untold basic amenities after food, cloth, and shelter in such regions. Not only for the asthmatic people or other related respiratory disease patients; it becomes equally necessary for commoners as well as they are prone to such diseases due to poor environmental conditions. Consequently, air conditioners being the artificial air purifiers are expected to be the much sought-after commodity in the upcoming years.
In the quest to beat the heat, it was majorly left unseen to what further contribution the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were making to the air pollution. It became an actual viscous cycle that due to keeping away the heat, air conditioners were being used and ironically, these air conditioners were further heating up the environment. Not just confining to this, the CFC is the major reason for the ozone depletion that in itself is the leading cause of several forms of cancers, cataract, and major other health related issues. This has drawn the need for use of alternative fuel that satisfies both the constraints of cooling down the heat as well as environmental safety. As a result of which, the demand for eco-friendly air conditioners is further expected to heat the global air conditioner market. The established brands like Toshiba, Voltas, LG have already taken the lead in this respect. Additionally, some positive moves by the leading air conditioner manufacturers including the affordable prices, enhanced portability, less carbon emission, and inverter based air conditioners are augmenting the demand for air conditioners market across the globe. Nevertheless, the uncertainties and fluctuations in the prices of raw materials of the air conditioners along with changing regulatory actions are somewhere hampering the growth of the market. The restricting guidelines on carbon emissions again take back to the major problem of gallons of carbon emitted through air conditioners. Besides, the purchasing power of people in many emerging economies still hinders the consumption of air conditioners. However, the constant efforts of leading market players provide a ray of hope to this deprived yet needy fragment of the society.
As every problem has its advent with a hidden opportunity; the restraints for the growth of the global air conditioning market is actually a shout out to energy and cost-efficient solutions. When the world is already shifting to solar power use, it would be an excellent step to swing to alternative sources of energy like this for fueling the air conditioner market. Solar energy, being one of the potent sources of alternative energy could be the next big thing for the pacesetters. In the meanwhile, what will be a pure delight to watch will be the ultimate widespread of this next basic need!
