HVAC instruments are mechanical systems that provide luxury of thermal control and indoor air quality. The HVAC system is customized accordingly to obtain good environment in terms of air quality and coolness in hot conditions. The automotive electric HVAC instruments are widely used in vehicles, residential buildings, commercial complexes and institutional complexes. The compressor is a crucial part in HVAC systems as it acts like a heart of the HVAC system. The automatic electric compressor eliminates the heat generated by air conditioning system and forms a refrigerator condition that cools the air and provides thermal comfort to the occupants. The heating, ventilation and cooling compressor is a latest trend in the industry and has got wonderful response from consumers in cars segment, as it assures cabin comfort while driving. In 20th century, many companies used to manufacture reciprocal compressors which had minimal pressure on engines and provided poor air quality. As technology evolved many companies developed fuel efficient vehicles, electric cars using different kind automatic compressor which have got significant importance and this evolution has propelled many companies to next level of their business. During 2012-2013 it initially started in European countries and later it was expanded to other regions. This is due to presence of number of luxury car manufacturing companies in European region. And later this technology augmented to improve fuel efficiency and fuel economy. The oil pumps and electric coolant pumps are replaced with automatic e-compressor in order to expand the businesses. Now-a-days electric cars and electrical AC compressors in cars are gaining a lot of attention and importance because of zero emission from vehicles, zero fuel charges, environment awareness programs and government subsidy schemes. In terms of environment, greenhouse effect and ozone layer depletion is major problem which is caused due to emissions from vehicles and AC systems, to overcome this problem many popular automotive industries are continuously working and spending huge investments in R&D.

Market Dynamics

Recent advancements in electric vehicles and use of air conditioners in these cars is expected to swift the market growth over the forecast period. Bad environmental and heat conditions has led to use more air-conditioning system in cars this is a major driving factor to fuel the market growth. Adoption of updated new generation vehicles such as electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles would escalate the market growth worldwide. Few popular automotive industry players are striving to develop eco-friendly vehicles to comply with present environmental regulations, this could be resulted to fuel the market growth.

Maintenance problems, low fuel economy, technical problems, high power requirements, more time to recharge electric vehicles and high prices of vehicles are the factors that restrain the growth of the market.
