How is Rising Demand for Energy-Efficient Cooling Systems Driving Chiller Market Globally?

Dec 3, 2019

The chiller market is predominantly driven by a rising number of construction projects coupled with the growing demand for cooling equipment in industrial applications.

New York, United States - December 3, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —

As the global population and economy continue to grow, the demand for high-end construction projects as well as affordable ones is rising. The construction sector considers projects ranging from residential buildings and commercial buildings to public spaces and transport facilities, such as railway stations and airports.

The global construction sector stood at $10.5 trillion in 2017, and is predicted to grow to $12.8 trillion by 2022. There are many such construction projects, which are in the pipeline. In Chicago, U.S., about 42 high-rise projects are under-construction, as of 2019.

These machines generate chilled water, which is then used for cooling purposes. The chiller market is predicted to advance at a 4.9% CAGR during the forecast period (2019–2024), as predicted in a P&S Intelligence study. Chillers are of the following type: reciprocating, absorption, centrifugal, scroll, and screw. In 2018, the highest demand was for the screw type chillers, which are more efficient than centrifugal chillers; they work by a positive displacement compression technique.

Further, the tourism sector is witnessing growth, which is resulting in the development of better airports across the world. One such example is of China, which plans to build around 136 new airports by 2025 in the country. Such commercial spaces and residential projects require a centralized cooling system, for which chillers are used. These are compressor-based machines, which via an absorption-refrigeration or vapor compression cycle, remove heat from a liquid for cooling large facilities.

Chillers make use of different types of refrigerants, which generally harm the environment. Therefore, methods are being devised to achieve optimum cooling without damaging the environment. The R32 refrigerant is being increasingly used in the chiller market due to its remarkable operational efficiency.

When compared to other refrigerants, such as R410A and R22, the R32 type refrigerants have an extremely low global warming potential (GWP) and reduce the greenhouse gases emission in the atmosphere. This refrigerant conveys heat efficiently and helps in reducing about 10% energy consumption compared to the R22 type.

In addition to the abovementioned factors, R32 chillers are equipped with a significantly higher volumetric cooling capacity than other refrigerant types, which results in their enhanced efficiency.

Inverter-controlled chillers are becoming the new thing in the market with the rising demand for energy efficient cooling systems. Compared to the conventional AC systems, the inverter technology in chillers is highly efficient.

From Cheng Pei-pei to Michelle Yeoh, Hong Kong cinema’s history of action heroines

For decades, Hong Kong’s film industry has cultivated an extraordinary roster of female screen warriors, defying the city’s historically conservative gender roles. From 1960s icon Cheng Pei-pei – known as the “Queen of Swords” – to the globally recognised Michelle Yeoh, the city’s male-dominated studios have consistently given women the chance to fight just as hard as the men in their fabled martial arts films. This offers an interesting comparison to Hollywood. The United States has produced...

No time for the gym? How micro-workouts could help busy professionals improve their health

For many professionals, finding an hour for the gym is about as feasible as finding an extra day in the week. There are deadlines, family obligations, late-night calls and the small matter of getting enough sleep. That is why “exercise snacks” – or micro-workouts – have become so appealing. Rather than reserving exercise for a long session, the approach breaks activity into short bouts: a brisk climb up stairs, a few squats between meetings or an interval session squeezed into a lunch break.

To stay relevant, PH mall chain evolves with the times

The term “malling” has been in use since the late 1970s and meant just that — a trip to the mall to hang out with friends, shop for groceries, have a meal or catch a movie. For decades, it was a favorite pastime of many, but consumers’ needs have changed and continue evolving. “We are seeing that Filipinos care more about experiences than just buying things,” said Steven Tan, president of SM Supermalls, at a media briefing held Sept. 10. To meet that shift in demand, the country’s largest mall chain has been going beyond expanding its footprint by providing spaces and serving as a venue for Filipinos to explore their varied interests. That evolution is reflected in the way SM Supermalls is reshaping its spaces and programming to respond to the activities and experiences that matter most to consumers today. Among the clearest indications of that shift is the growing interest in wellness and social activities, which malls are increasingly incorporating into their spaces and events. Over 40,000 runners participated in the Galaxy Manila Marathon and SM2SM Cebu events this year. “The numbers we’re seeing for active lifestyle are really amazing,” Tan said, adding that wellness is now part of people’s daily routines. “We now have 102 pickleball courts spread across 32 SM malls nationwide.” The arts have also long been championed by the chain. In the ‘90s, one of the upper floors at SM Megamall was devoted to art galleries and exhibits. Since then, its cultural offerings have expanded with the opening of Museo del Galeon, events like Art for Everyone, and interactive campaigns like Gala to the Max. Tan also announced key milestones for the chain, including the newly opened SM Seaside Cebu Arena and the launch of SM Supermalls’ 90th location in Zamboanga City earlier this year. “With 25,000 seats, SM Seaside Cebu Arena is actually bigger than our Mall of Asia Arena. It will now bring world-class concepts, concerts, and major sporting events in the Visayas region,” he said. “[The Zamboanga opening], meanwhile, marks another major step in deepening our presence across Mindanao, bringing lifestyle experiences to even more communities.” By November this year, SM Nuvali will open along the South Luzon corridor. Once operational, the sprawling mall will house the country’s first LED cinema screen experience of its kind. Matching consumer demand, SM’s tenant footprint grew four percent in the first half of 2026, surpassing 23,000 tenants nationwide. “Food, leisure, and lifestyle concepts are leading the demand right now,” said Hanna Carinna Sy, senior assistant vice president for marketing and leasing. “We’re actively curating a mix that keeps shoppers staying longer.” Over the next six months, several existing malls will undergo property upgrades, including SM City Iloilo, SM City Naga, SM City Santo Tomas in Batangas, and SM Aura. Beyond retail, SM has been supporting local economies by partnering with nearly 900 small businesses daily, hosting trade fairs for 3,000 entrepreneurs, and connecting over 330,000 job seekers through more than 500 job fairs. Its environmental programs also focus on nationwide plastic collection and solar power integration. “We want to grow, but we want to grow responsibly,” Tan said, noting that the company aims to build lasting opportunities and spaces where communities can connect.
