Annual Statement 2025

Michael Bauer, Head of Sales, Growth and Success


With a projected market volume of over USD 210 billion, the HVAC-R industry is set for significant growth in 2026. Urbanisation, the decarbonisation of buildings, and the expansion of data centres are driving global demand for intelligent, energy-efficient systems. In this highly competitive environment, success will largely depend on meeting increasingly stringent sustainability regulations.
