LONDON, July 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The “Automotive Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) Market and Trend Analysis by Technology, Key Companies and Forecast, 2021-2036” report offered by GlobalData Plc, provides a comprehensive overview of the global automotive heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning sector, major suppliers, top 14 markets, technology trends, and market size forecasts.
Once a premium feature, HVAC is nearing ubiquity globally, but that is not stopping further development. Also, electrified vehicles are increasing the pressure on HVAC systems to become more efficient. As well as efficiency there’s a big push to improve the cabin air quality provided by HVAC systems.
There are now just four major suppliers of automotive HVAC systems worldwide. These include Japan’s Denso, Mahle (having acquired Behr, Delphi’s thermal business, and Keihin Corp), Valeo, and Hanon Systems (formerly HVCC). All these companies supply on a global scale and have varying market positions depending upon individual geographic markets and regions. Others include Marelli and Sanden.

Denso Corporation
Denso Thermal Systems is the global market leader in passenger car HVAC and is a leading technology developer. Accordingly, it is a major competitor for all the other established suppliers in the market. Its association with Toyota is a particular strength and is a major factor in the company’s successful expansion in overseas markets. With around 50 percent of its sales made to Toyota Group companies, its prospects are closely linked to those of Toyota and in the recent past, it has been affected by a change in Toyota’s fortunes. This has resulted in a concerted effort to find new business outside the Toyota Group, which has proved reasonably successful in Europe and to a lesser extent in North America.
