Weather conditions vary from country to country and only a few regions of the world are blessed with optimum climatic conditions. People use HVAC or air conditioning systems to regulate indoor room temperatures, maintain air quality, prevent air contamination and provide air circulation for a more breathable and safe environment. In 2021, the global heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) market was valued at over USD 135 billion and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6% during the next few years. India is one of the fastest-growing HVAC markets in the world. HVAC comprises both heating and cooling systems and the cooling segment accounts for nearly 55% of the HVAC market.
The performance of air conditioners is dependent on the quality of the components utilized in the system design. Premium components ensure uninterrupted performance and also save on maintenance and replacement costs. Air ducts are critical components and have a strong influence on the performance of the HVAC system including the airflow. Kaalflex, a manufacturer of premium quality air ducts, has set a new benchmark for quality previously only seen in the western markets.
