Energy Recovery Ventilator Market in 2025 is assessed at USD 4.95 billion. The global Market size was around USD 4.66 billion in 2024 and is likely to expand at a CAGR of more than 7.9%, surpassing USD 12.52 billion revenue by 2037. Asia Pacific is expected to exceed largest share by 2037, fueled by escalating living standards in countries such as China, India, and South Korea, as well as the growing modernization of residential and commercial buildings.
The growth of this market can be attributed to the rising trend of green building construction globally. The trend of constructing green buildings is rising owing to environmental conditions, strict government regulations, standards of energy consumption, and a rise in hazardous emissions. The building manufacturers now are focusing on constructing green buildings in order to get more profit from the income generated from the property business. Therefore, with the rise in the deployment of ventilators the market of energy ventilators is expected to grow more in the upcoming years. Anyhow, the key suppliers align their products in line with green building certifications, Thus, the rise in the construction of the green building is expected to drive the industry growth. The green building consumes 40-50% less energy and 10-20% less water.
On the other hand, the maintenance of air quality has become a major concern nowadays. Deficient indoor air quality poses an adverse impact on the health, productivity, cognitive function, and well-being of people. The ability of energy recovery ventilator to replace stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, its ability to remove all the pollutant particles from the environment, optimize energy efficiently, minimizes carbon footprints and others are factors driving the growth of this market in the forecast period. In 2020, globally around 3.2 million people died out of bad indoor air quality.
Energy Recovery Ventilator Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Increasing Construction of Green Buildings Around the World – The growing construction of green buildings all over the world is boosting the market growth in the upcoming times. This can be attributed owing to rising hazardous emissions, growing awareness about green buildings among the people, and standards of energy consumption. As per the U.S. Green Building Council, green and healthier buildings streamlined with promotive ventilation can grow to return on investment by 19% and building asset value by 10%.
- Growing Consciousness for Indoor Air Quality – Nowadays, maintenance of indoor air quality has become one of the most significant concerns. An energy recovery ventilator has the ability to replace bad indoor air with fresh outdoor air. Additionally, it also removes all pollutant particles such as viruses, bacteria, and household chemicals from the environment, minimizes carbon footprints, optimizes energy efficiency, and others. Globally around 4.1% of death takes place owing to bad indoor air quality.
- Government Regulations - Several governments around the world have introduced regulations and standards to improve the energy efficiency of buildings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, the European Union's Building Energy Performance Directive requires all new buildings to be near-zero energy buildings by 2020. Energy recovery fans help buildings comply with these regulations and standards.
- Growing Demand in New Commercial and Residential Projects – Rising demand for new commercial and residential projects in turn is giving rise to the energy recovery ventilator market owing to indoor air quality purposes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified indoor air pollution as a major environmental problem because indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. To address this issue, the EPA recommends using ventilation systems to improve indoor air quality in commercial and residential projects.
Challenges
- Complex Installation Mechanism – The demand for energy recovery ventilators seems to have risen with the concern of indoor air quality. However, its complex installation procedure might hamper the market growth in the forecast period. Also, the task becomes a bit challenging to install energy recovery ventilators in the old design houses.
- Noise and Discomfort
- High Maintenance Cost of Energy Recovery Ventilator
