The current economic situation poses considerable challenges for the HVAC industry. With a general decline in orders and increasing regulatory requirements, innovative solutions and adaptability are more in demand than ever.

The HVAC sector economy remains in negative territory in spring 2024. The main reasons for this are the slump in new construction completions with direct consequences for the order situation and product sales as well as high inflation and the associated uncertainty among many owners and builders, which is leading to delays in numerous renovation projects. Forecasts point to a further decline in investment in new builds, while a slight recovery is expected in the renovation sector. (Source: RAS, edition 06-07/2024, page 19)
