Modular Chillers Market Segmentation

Grand View Research has segmented the global modular chillers market on the basis of product, end-use, and region:

Based on the Product Insights, the market is segmented into Water-Cooled and Air-Cooled.

• The water-cooled systems led the global market in 2020 and accounted for a revenue share of over 57%.
• However, the demand for water-cooled chillers is witnessing sluggish growth on account of the requirement of critical maintenance including freeze protection, mechanical tower maintenance, chiller condenser-tube cleaning, and water treatment.
• The demand for air-cooled chillers is expected to witness the fastest CAGR on account of their low cost, attributed to the absence of condenser water pumps and cooling towers. 

Based on the End-use Insights, the market is segmented into Commercial, Residential, and Industrial.

• The commercial segment led the market in 2020 with a share of over 48% and will expand further at the fastest CAGR from 2021 to 2028.
• Modular chillers are used in healthcare facilities, including clinics, retirement homes, and hospitals, to provide cooling to these buildings.
• Rising awareness regarding the benefits of chillers along with increasing demand for cooling infrastructure is anticipated to augment the demand over the coming years.
• The residential sector is anticipated to witness a significant CAGR of 5.8% from 2021 to 2028 in terms of revenue over the forecast period.
