Absorption Chillers Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Type (Steam Absorption Chillers, Hot water Absorption Chillers, Direct-Fired Absorption Chillers, Indirect-Fired Absorption Chillers), By Technology (Single-Effect, Double-Effect, Triple-Effect), By End-User (Industrial, Commercial, Residential), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

The absorption chiller market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.84% between 2025 to 2030.

Absorption chillers are used in commercial buildings and industrial plants to provide air conditioning, refrigeration, and process fluid cooling.  It contains lithium bromide-water (LiBr/H2O) and ammonia-water as the main constituent for refrigeration application. They are often exhaust-fired using thermal energy recovered from combined heat and power prime movers. In other words, they are a special type of chiller that uses heat to generate cooling. A few benefits of absorption chillers include low fuel cost, consume less electrical power, uses waste heat, etc. These advantages act as major drivers for its market.

The absorption chillers market is induced by the various cost and performance benefits associated with it. The use of a gas-based cooling system provides lower operating costs by avoiding peak electric demand charges. Moreover, absorption chillers offer quiet and vibration-free operation of refrigerators, improved system efficiency and reliability, and lower maintenance cost over the long run.

Geographically, North America is the largest market of absorption chillers followed by Europe and the Asia Pacific. The high concentration of allied industries such as chemicals, petroleum, and processed food in North America is one of the key factors contributing to the dominance of the absorption chillers market in this region. By end-user, the industrial and commercial uses absorb a larger share than domestic uses.

Growth Factors.

• Restraint.

The high initial cost of absorption chillers over some other conventional compression chillers is one of the major restrain of the market predominantly within the context of cost-conscious consumers of developing economies.

COVID-19 Impact On Absorption Chillers Market

COVID-19 has affected the global economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by creating supply chain and market disruption, and by its financial impact on firms and financial markets. As industrial activities remained suspended, the demand for absorption chillers is also negatively affected. The commercial uses also faced similar wrath as many establishments remained close due to several restrictions. However, the pandemic has propelled healthcare facilities. The hospitals and nursing homes have increased their demands for absorption chillers. It is also being used in make-shift hospitals due to its advantages like low fuel cost. Overall, there has been a contracting impact on the market due to the pandemic.
