India Domestic and Commercial Air Cooler Market Analysis

An air cooler is a device that cools the air naturally through evaporation. It works by taking in warm air and directing it via water-soaked pads. As the air passes over the water, it evaporates and lowers the temperature of the air, which is then circulated back into the room. They are ideally suited to dry and hot conditions, where low humidity increases the cooling impact. Furthermore, air coolers are substantially less expensive than air conditioners in terms of initial purchase price. According to Voltas, air coolers range in price from INR 3,000 to INR 12,000, making them an affordable option for those looking for a basic cooling solution.

India Domestic and Commercial Air Cooler Market Overview

The India domestic and commercial air cooler market is predicted to witness strong growth due to the rising demand for energy-efficient and eco-friendly cooling solutions in the region. The growing environmental awareness, rising energy costs, and customers' inclination toward sustainable living are among the major reasons for the rise in the demand for air coolers in India. Also, India is witnessing a significant increase in the frequency and intensity of heat waves in its various regions, which is further fueling the demand for air coolers. In addition, the growing urbanization and increasing housing demand in various cities of India are further expected to fuel the growth of the India domestic and commercial air cooler market. Furthermore, the growing integration of cut-edge technologies such as i-PURE technology, Brushless Direct Current Motor Technology (BLDC), Wi-Fi connectivity, smartphone apps, and voice control capabilities is further propelling the growth of the India domestic and commercial air cooler market.

India Domestic and Commercial Air Cooler Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Temperatures Due to Climate Change

Climate change has had a considerable impact on summer temperatures in India, and it is becoming a source of concern for the country's large population. India, with its numerous climate zones, is experiencing a noticeable increase in summer temperatures as a result of global climate change. Climate change has resulted in a significant increase in the frequency and intensity of heat waves in India. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) revealed that the annual mean land surface air temperature in 2024 was 25.75 degrees Celsius, 0.65 degrees Celsius higher than the long-term average (1991–2020), and the highest since records began in 1901. The average low temperature was 20.24 degrees Celsius, 0.90 degrees Celsius more than the norm, while the average maximum temperature was 31.25 degrees Celsius, 0.20 degrees higher than normal.

The year 2024 was recorded as the hottest year in India. Several cities in India witnessed record heat. Phalodi, a small village in Rajasthan, frequently endures severe temperatures due to its desert environment. In May 2024, it hit 50.8°C, making it one of India's hottest spots. Similarly, Nagpur recorded temperatures as high as 48.5°C. Also, the capital city, Delhi, registered 48.0°C, one of its hottest temperatures. Furthermore, it is expected that rising temperatures will continue beyond 2025. Hence, with the increasing temperature in the country, the demand for air coolers is continuously increasing as it is a cost-effective and energy-efficient tool for comfort. In addition, it is also an essential device for mitigating the effects of global warming.

Growing Urbanization and Increasing Demand for Housing

India is witnessing tremendous growth in the population. According to the report by the United Nations, India's population in 2024 was 1.45 billion and will reach ~1.69 billion in 2054. With this increase in population, there is also a rise in urbanization in the country. According to the World Bank Group, by 2036, the towns and cities in India will be home to 600 million people, or 40% of the population, up from 31% in 2011. Such growth in population and urbanization in the country is boosting the demand for housing, leading to a rise in the number of residential construction projects in the country. As per Jones Lang LaSalle IP, Inc., in the first half of 2024, ~159,455 residential units were launched, which is approximately 55% of the total units launched throughout the entire year of 2023. Also, during Q2 2024, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi NCR were the top cities in terms of new project launches, accounting for ~60% share. Among the three metro cities, Delhi NCR holds approximately 64% share. In addition, ~154,921 units were sold in the first half of 2024, with a 22% increase compared to the same period in 2023.

A few mega construction projects carried out in India are mentioned below.

  • Terminus & NCC's The Line and Highline is a mixed-use residential-commercial project located in Kokapet, Hyderabad, Telangana.
  • Sobha Neopolis is a residential construction project located in Panathur, Bangalore, with a construction cost of US$ 257.61 million (INR 2,226 crore) and a construction area of 4,637,286 sq. ft.
  • ACE Starlit, a residential project, is being developed in a prime locality of Noida.

Thus, the growing number of residential projects in India is expected to fuel the demand for domestic and commercial air coolers during the forecast period.
