The "Africa Air Conditioner Market Forecast Report by Type, End User, Country and Company Analysis 2025-2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Africa Air Conditioner market was US$ 7.29 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 12.23 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 5.32% from 2025 to 2033
Rising urbanization, rising temperatures, rising middle-class incomes, improved infrastructure development, and an increasing need for energy-efficient cooling solutions in the continent's commercial, industrial, and residential sectors are the main factors propelling the air conditioner market in Africa.
The market for air conditioners is expanding throughout Africa. The hotter climates in North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt) are driving up demand, while Sub-Saharan Africa (South Africa, Nigeria) is benefiting from urbanization, industrialization, and rising incomes.
Africa Air Conditioner Industry Overview
The market for air conditioners in Africa is expanding significantly due to a number of important factors, including rising urbanization, the expansion of the middle class, and rising temperatures throughout the continent. The need for contemporary, energy-efficient cooling solutions in the commercial, industrial, and residential sectors is growing as Africa's population continues to urbanize. The demand for air conditioning to maintain comfort and productivity is further fueled by the climate, which in many places is marked by high temperatures and humidity.
Additionally, a greater percentage of the population can now buy air conditioners due to rising disposable incomes, especially in nations like South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya. The need for air conditioning systems is anticipated to increase significantly as a result of rising investments in infrastructure, such as hotels, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities.
Technological developments also have an impact on the market; as environmental awareness and laws increase; eco-friendly refrigerants and energy-efficient systems are becoming more and more popular. But there are still issues like expensive electricity, sparse distribution systems, and the requirement for professional installation and maintenance services.
Despite these challenges, the growing urbanization and growing awareness of the advantages of air conditioning are anticipated to propel market expansion in Africa, making it a crucial region for the global air conditioner business. Indeed, according to the International Energy Agency, the demand for electricity for air conditioners in Africa is expected to increase tenfold by 2040, indicating a strong increasing trend in the years to come.
Growth Drivers for the Africa Air Conditioner Market
Growing Interest in Energy-Saving Air Conditioners
In an effort to lessen the energy footprint caused by air conditioners and power use, there is a growing demand for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient devices. Similarly, African nations are adopting stringent air conditioning efficiency standards in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 million tons by 2040. Therefore, the market participants would gain from investing in energy-efficient and sustainable conditioners, which would impact the market size in the future years.
Climate Change and Increasing Temperatures
Temperatures, building projects, and the need for more inexpensive solutions are all contributing to the growth of the Africa Air Company. Another significant factor influencing the African air conditioner market is climate change. With many areas seeing rising temperatures, protracted heatwaves, and altered weather patterns, the continent is especially susceptible to the effects of climate change.
The need for efficient cooling solutions to maintain cozy indoor spaces is growing as a result of these climate changes. For example, according to the report, the African room air conditioner market grew by 3.1% in 2021, reaching a total of 3.44 million units sold. Every market saw growth, with the exception of Angola and Libya. With about a million units sold, Egypt dominated the market, followed by South Africa, Nigeria, and Algeria. The demand for air conditioners throughout the continent is mostly driven by these regions.
Temperatures frequently rise above 30 degrees Celsius in numerous African nations, and in some areas, they can reach even greater levels. As a result, air conditioning is now considered essential for residents' and employees' health rather than merely a luxury. This is particularly true in desert areas where intense heat is typical and in nations close to the equator. The need for air conditioning equipment is also being driven by increased awareness of the negative health effects of extreme heat, such as heatstroke and dehydration. The usage of cooling solutions is being encouraged by governments and health groups more and more as a way to lessen the negative health impacts of high temperatures.
Growing Infrastructure Development and Urbanization
Africa is quickly becoming more urbanized. The construction of residential and commercial buildings rises along with the size and modernization of cities, creating a great need for cooling solutions. Businesses and retail centers need climate control systems as urban areas grow into centers of economic activity. The market is also stimulated by government programs to upgrade infrastructure, such as housing and smart city initiatives. Urbanization is a key market driver because of the growing affordability and uptake of air conditioners brought about by the growing middle class and increased disposable incomes in metropolitan areas. In 2010, about 36 percent of Africans lived in urban areas; by 2030 and 2050, that number is expected to rise to 50 and 60 percent, respectively.
In Africa, urbanization has been accelerating and bringing with it both benefits and difficulties. Given that urban populations are expected to treble by 2050, cities are likely to become hubs for innovation and economic growth. The Harmonized Regional Framework for Implementing the New Urban Agenda in Africa was written by the African Union Commission, UN-Habitat, and UNECA. It acts as a framework for discussions at the Africa Urban Forum to make sure the Africa 2063 agenda is covered.
