The HVAC market in Poland

The HVAC market (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), a branch of sanitary engineering, is a topic little explored in Poland. This situation exists despite the rapid growth of Poland’s non-residential construction sector.

Aim of PMR’s study

PMR published the results of its survey in the report HVAC market in Poland. Quantitative interviews with industry specialists were analysed on the basis of company profiles in terms of construction type, most common installation locations, and the competitive environment of the three aforementioned segments.

Research method

PMR conducted a B2B survey of companies that install:

• heating systems
• ventilation systems
• conditioning systems.

For this report, a total of 300 interviews were conducted, which breaks down to 100 interviews per category. All interviews were carried out using the CATI technique (computer-assisted telephone interviewing). According to the results, installation of HVAC is typically carried out in new buildings (57%) rather than as a function of renovation. HVAC installations in urban settings (76%) show substantial advantage over those done in rural settings (24%). More than half of the surveyed companies indicated an interest in new items found on the HVAC market, particularly those having to do with heating systems.

Result of the HVAC market research

The data we delivered have allowed the structure of the three major segments of the HVAC market –air conditioning, ventilation and heating – to be determined. The results of the surveys of industry specialists revealed:

• product category preferences
• criteria of choice of manufactures
• innovative tendencies
• most popular HVAC systems being installed by companies
• distribution channels for HVAC equipment
• segment analysis by construction type.
