The global microchannel heat exchanger market was valued at US$ 7,794.93millionin 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 19,630.87million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.4 % during the forecast periodof 2020-2027.

Microchannel heat exchanger is increasingly used in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration field owing to its highly efficient heat transfer rate, lower cost, and a compact structure. The microchannel heat exchanger is capable of reducing the equipment weight and enhances the compactness of the devices in which they are employed. It improves the process technology.It is used in household air conditioning and automotive air conditioning systems. Microchannel heat exchangers have superior heat exchange on the finned tube coil, although they are only used for refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The Microchannel heat exchangers can be used in air coolers, condensing systems, residential ACs, air dryers, cooling cabinets, and roof systems. Microchannel heat exchanger (MCHE) attracts the attention of the airconditioning and refrigeration industry due to its advantages, such as high heat transfer efficiency, lower refrigerant charge, compact structure, and lightweight.This, in turn, is propelling the demand for microchannel heat exchangers. In addition, it is made of aluminum, which makes it less vulnerable to galvanic corrosion than the traditional round-tube plate fin coils. MCHE is commonly used in air conditioning and heat pump systems for effective heat transfer between refrigerant and air. With the increasing demand for lightweight systems and rising copper prices, demand for MCHE in HVAC applications has increased. Furthermore, improved efficiency and cost savings are the other factors promoting the demand for MCHE.

Based on type, the microchannel heat exchanger market is segmented intocondenser, evaporator, and water coil. In 2019, the condenser segment led the microchannel heat exchanger market with the highest market share. Condenser is the outward portion of the heat pumps or the air conditioners that is used for releasing or collecting heat depending upon the time of the year. The condenser cabinet consists of a compressor, condenser coil, fan and various other controls. The condenser fan is an essential component that is engaged in circulating the air across the coil to facilitate heat transfer. The condenser keeps the hot fluid at a constant temperature through its passage in the microchannel heat exchanger. The condenser segment has experienced a rapid growth in the demand due to its application in the air conditioning systems used in automotive, residential, and commercial sectors. The microchannel heat exchanger condensers are considered high performance exchangers in various applications. Thus, increase in demand for condensers in the heat, ventilation, and air conditioning industry is expected to boost the growth of this segment, thereby driving the microchannel heat exchanger market.

Geographically, the microchannel heat exchanger market is segmented into North America, Europe, AsiaPacific (APAC), South America, andthe Middle East &Africa (MEA). In 2019, Asia Pacific held the largest share of the global microchannel heat exchanger market, followed by North America and Europe. The growth of the microchannel heat exchanger market in Asia Pacific is primarily attributed to rising HVAC industries. Rise in number of manufacturing units that are well equipped with the modern HVAC systems is supporting the market growth. Increasing use of microchannel heat exchanger in the automotive sector coupled with growing automotive industry in Asia Pacific fuels the demand for microchannel heat exchangers. The demand for microchannel heat exchangers from the chemical processing industries in Asia Pacific is yet another factor supporting the market growth. The manufacturers in the region are focusing on increasing the research and development associated with microchannel heat exchangers, which will in turn lead to the growth in the market in the near future.
