South & Central America Commercial HVAC Market Size, Share, Trends, and Forecast, 2021 - 2031 | Market to Reach US$3.49 Billion as Data Centers and Smart Buildings Fuel 5.4% CAGR Dublin, Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "South & Central America Commercial HVAC Market Size and Forecast (2021 - 2031), Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The South & Central America commercial HVAC market is projected to increase from US$ 2,442.0 million in 2024 to US$ 3,494.1 million by 2031, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% from 2025 to 2031, according to the report. Market expansion is being supported by government initiatives focused on construction infrastructure, rising demand for energy-efficient systems, and continued investment in commercial facilities across the region.

Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia are experiencing growing demand for commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems as governments and businesses adopt digital technologies and smart energy policies. These measures are designed to deliver immediate energy savings, support long-term infrastructure improvements, and maintain lower carbon intensity while strengthening regional electricity systems.

Brazil remains the largest market in South & Central America. Government-backed construction programs, private-sector partnerships, and the presence of international HVAC manufacturers are contributing to sustained demand. A project introduced in Sao Paulo through the Investment Partnership Program (PPI) is expected to encourage additional collaboration with private companies and support new commercial HVAC installations. The April 2021 partnership between Dannenge International and Trox do Brazil also reflects the country's expanding market potential.

Growth in Brazil's hospitality sector is creating further opportunities for HVAC manufacturers and service providers. In February 2025, the luxury hotel pipeline included 129 projects and 26,077 rooms. The upper-upscale category accounted for 115 projects and 22,509 rooms, while the upscale segment included 136 projects and 19,220 rooms. Together, these categories represented 56% of projects and 54% of rooms in the hotel development pipeline, highlighting strong demand for climate control systems in new hospitality properties.

By equipment type, the South & Central America commercial HVAC market is segmented into cooling, heating, and ventilation equipment. Cooling equipment held the largest market share in 2024, with unitary air conditioners leading the category. Boilers represented the largest segment within heating equipment, while air handling units (AHUs) led the ventilation equipment segment. Controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) was the most widely adopted ventilation system type.

Based on implementation, the market is divided into new installations and retrofits. New installations accounted for the largest share in 2024, supported by commercial construction and infrastructure development. Key application areas include office buildings, hotels and restaurants, transportation facilities, hospitals and clinics, and other commercial properties. Office buildings generated the highest demand during the year.

Data center investment is expected to become an increasingly important commercial HVAC market growth driver. Expanding requirements for computing capacity and data storage, together with the adoption of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and other data-intensive technologies, are accelerating data center construction. In May 2025, Amazon Web Services announced a US$ 4 billion investment to establish a new AWS Region in Chile. The project is expected to strengthen the country's digital infrastructure and generate demand for advanced commercial cooling and ventilation equipment required for reliable data center operations.

Geographically, the market covers Brazil, Argentina, and the rest of South & Central America. Brazil held the largest regional share in 2024 due to its construction activity, hospitality development, private investment, and established base of HVAC manufacturers and suppliers.

Leading companies operating in the South & Central America commercial HVAC market include Schneider Electric SE, Honeywell International Inc., Mitsubishi Electric Corp., LG Electronics Inc., Daikin Industries Ltd., Carrier Global Corp., Danfoss AS, Lennox International Inc., Trane Technologies Plc, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Johnson Controls International Plc, and AAON Inc. These companies are strengthening their competitive positions through geographic expansion, product innovation, strategic partnerships, and mergers and acquisitions, with an emphasis on energy efficiency, digital controls, and advanced commercial HVAC solutions.
