Report Overview

In 2021, the global energy retrofit system market was valued at USD 148.8 billion and is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.2%, between 2023 and 2032. It is expected to reach USD 233.96 billion in the forecast period. This global market is expected to be driven by key factors such as growing concerns about Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, and strict regulations to reduce the overall carbon footprint. Furthermore, this market is expected to grow due to the widespread adoption of HVAC appliances in various industries. The average shelf life for lighting and HVAC technologies is 25 years. After that, they are considered obsolete and need to be replaced. These systems can be retrofitted to reduce energy costs in homes and commercial settings. Due to the adoption of retrofit technologies to replace existing systems that are expensive and inefficient, the U.S. market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period.

Global Energy Retrofit Systems Market Scope:

Printing Type Analysis

Product Insights

This global market can be divided into four product segments: LED retrofit lighting, Envelope, HVAC retrofit, and Appliances. In 2021, the highest revenue share was accounted for by the envelope product segment. It accounted for more than 51.5% of this market and is expected to continue its dominance, expanding at a steady pace over the forecast period.

Retrofitting a building envelope improves thermal comfort by providing insulation and an air barrier between walls. This reduces heat loss, which is beneficial to both owners and occupants. It also helps reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. It is expected to encourage public support for environmental sustainability and positive public opinion. The LED retrofit lighting segment is slated to index the highest CAGR at over 4.9%, between 2023 and 2032.

Application Analysis

In 2021, the non-residential segment dominated this market and accounted for more than 71.5% of total revenues. This growth was due to large-scale HVAC system installations, and the technological obsolescence of traditional systems that were used in non-residential buildings. Retrofitting power systems will be especially beneficial in areas that are subject to extreme winter conditions. This is due to their dependence on lighting and HVAC systems.

The fastest projected CAGR for the application segment of this market will be indexed by the residential sub-segment over the forecast period. Due to increasing prices for residential properties, and the creation of laws protecting older buildings, many consumers are opting for retrofit solutions instead. A surge in energy costs and strict compliance with emission regulations have forced many commercial and industrial organizations to invest in advanced energy-efficient modernization approaches.

Key Market Segments:

By Product

• Envelope
• LED Retrofit Lighting
• HVAC Retrofit
• Appliances

By Application

• Residential
• Non-Residential

Market Dynamics:

There has been speculation that non-renewable energy companies will profit from the Paris Accord on Climate Change being abandoned by the United States Federal Government. A number of financial incentives offered by governmental agencies will continue to increase awareness about renewable energy. These components must be technologically updated to improve the performance of retrofit systems modules.

Manufacturers/developers of these components invest a significant proportion of the annual budgets towards R&D initiatives. These systems function optimally only when all components are integrated to match the system’s requirements. In order to make energy retrofit systems, assemblers and integrators combine all components. These systems can be designed and integrated by companies such as Johnson Controls, General Electric, and Schneider Electric.

The industry that uses the most energy to run district heating services is the commercial industry. The majority of energy is used by the construction industry.

The market expansion would be fueled by government initiatives to increase the market for new technologies and provide major retrofits in existing structures.

The expanding installation of energy systems and the broad availability of smart devices have made room for new business models to emerge in the power industry as a result of an increase in the demand for energy consumption globally.

Regional Analysis

In 2021, Europe was the dominant market and had a revenue share greater than 47.5%. Russia was the top-earning country in Europe, in terms of revenues in 2021. Due to growing concerns about GHG emissions and stringent regulations to reduce carbon footprints, this regional market is driven primarily by greater product adoption levels. Market growth is expected to be bolstered by growing population figures and the increasing demand for clean and efficient energy.

Europe is also active in R&D efforts to produce clean, efficient energy, which in turn has supported the market growth. Regional market growth has been aided by the availability of financing from the European Union for energy conservation projects and energy efficiency projects. The Asia Pacific will, however, be the region with the highest CAGR over the forecast period.

The Asia-Pacific region’s quick development of energy modernization systems and the acceptance of these systems by residential and commercial end users are likely to assist in the reduction in the cost of renewable energy and the cost of infrastructure, which will boost market growth.
