Dublin, April 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "U.S. Mini Split Air Conditioning System Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2025-2034" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The U.S. Mini Split Air Conditioning System Market was valued at USD 1.4 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 2.4 billion by 2034, rising at a CAGR of 4.9%.
The demand for energy-efficient cooling solutions continues to surge, fueled by rapid urbanization and rising construction activities. With more people moving into cities, there is a growing need for effective climate control systems in newly built apartments, multi-family housing, and commercial spaces. Mini split systems are gaining popularity due to their flexibility, efficiency, and ease of installation, especially in buildings without traditional ductwork. As concerns over rising energy costs and environmental sustainability intensify, consumers are shifting toward high-efficiency cooling solutions.
Government initiatives promoting energy conservation are further accelerating market growth. Programs like Energy Star certification and rebates on energy-efficient appliances are encouraging homeowners and businesses to adopt mini split systems. Additionally, advancements in inverter technology, improved refrigerants, and the integration of smart controls are making these systems more attractive to both residential and commercial buyers. Consumers are increasingly drawn to models featuring Wi-Fi connectivity, voice control, and advanced air filtration, which enhance convenience and indoor air quality. Manufacturers are also focusing on aesthetic improvements, offering sleek, modern designs that seamlessly blend with contemporary interiors. These factors, coupled with an increasing emphasis on sustainability, are expected to drive strong market expansion over the next decade.
Mini split systems are categorized into single-zone and multi-zone configurations. The single-zone mini split segment accounted for USD 1 billion in 2024, dominating the market due to its widespread use in residential applications. Homeowners prefer these units for renovations and properties without existing ductwork. Their ability to provide precise temperature control and significant energy savings makes them an attractive alternative to traditional HVAC systems. The adoption of smart, Wi-Fi-enabled single-zone mini splits is growing rapidly as consumers prioritize energy efficiency and remote monitoring features. Many homeowners and businesses are replacing outdated window air conditioners with these sleek, modern units that offer improved performance, quieter operation, and enhanced aesthetics.
Among the different installation types, wall-mounted mini split units held an 86.8% share in 2024. These units remain the top choice due to their space-saving design and ease of installation. Their slim profile and contemporary finishes appeal to homeowners and businesses looking for efficient yet stylish cooling solutions. Demand for wall-mounted mini split systems is particularly strong in residential and light commercial applications. The growing preference for models equipped with advanced air filtration, Wi-Fi connectivity, and voice control features is further fueling sales.
The multi-zone mini split segment is expected to generate significant revenue during the forecast period. These systems are increasingly being installed in large homes and commercial buildings that require customized climate control across multiple rooms. By connecting several indoor units to a single outdoor compressor, multi-zone systems offer energy-efficient cooling and heating for multi-story buildings. As businesses continue integrating automation into commercial spaces, demand for multi-zone mini splits is rising. Industry reports indicate a year-on-year growth of approximately 20% for these systems, reflecting their growing adoption across both residential and commercial sectors.
