The 2026 global air conditioner market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.78%, driven by rising global temperatures and urbanization. Energy efficiency (e.g., inverter models, ENERGY STAR certified) and smart AI functions (adaptive control, APP remote access) are core competitiveness. Regional demand differs: commercial central AC is popular in Europe/North America, while household smart AC booms in Asia-Pacific. Daikin launches new products covering multiple scenarios, focusing on green and intelligent solutions.
