Passenger cars have included HVAC systems since the 2nd half of the past century. The United States produced the 1st car with air conditioning in the 1960s. Initially, the HVAC system was a premium feature; however, in most of the vehicles sold nowadays, HVAC has become a standard feature.
HVAC systems are of 2 types: Manual and automatic. Manual HVAC systems are rudimentary, with knobs to adjust the airflow to the desired level, while automatic HVAC systems maintain the desired cabin temperature by adjusting airflow based on the preset temperature. Automatic systems also have the option of dividing the cabin into zones and setting different temperatures for individual zones based on passengers' preferences. HVAC systems are significant in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) due to the additional heat the electrical components generate.
This study provides an overview of the North American automotive HVAC industry and discusses the impact of various trends on the growth and deployment strategies of OEMs and suppliers in the market. It also analyzes crucial market aspects, HVAC system types, market trends and forecasts, and growth opportunities.
