Why Air Conditioning is Essential in the Modern World?

Air conditioners (ACs) have changed from luxury items to necessity items in an era of rising global temperatures, increasing urbanization and greater comfort expectations. But what is it that makes people more reliant on ACs in this age? Well, in this blog, we will discuss the major factors that are indicative of why air conditioning plays the important role of keeping the wheels of modern living running, along with facts and data.

4 Statistics that Show the Increased Need for Air Conditioning

References: — The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that with 5.6 billion AC units in the world, the demand for air conditioners is likely to triple globally by the year 2050.

As of now, America had 90% air conditioners in the house, 60% in China and 52% in India ,Although India's AC penetration is still relatively low, it is increasing rapidly.

An UN report says heat-related deaths have surged 54% in the past 20 years, thus making ACs a necessity for survival at extreme heat-based atmosphere.

According to the World Bank, by 2050 two-third of the world population will live in cities, placing a greater demand for cooling solutions in the world's most densely populated areas.

Marketing Air Conditioning: Why Do People Need Air Conditioners Today?

Rising Global Temperatures

Due to climate change, the temperatures around the world have reached a record high. Many places experienced their highest temperatures on record globally in 2023: India, the U.S., and parts of Europe. Longer heatwaves now render ACs mandatory to keep rooms at a safe temperature and avoid heat morbidity.

Urban Heat Islands — Cities are hotter

In metropolises like Mumbai,Thane,Navi-Mumbai, Pune, Lucknow, Delhi and Ahmedabad, the urban heat island effect means that concrete buildings, black-top roads and an abundance of pollution trap heat, making cities a few degrees hotter than rural areas. ACs work against these conditions transforming urban life into cohabitation with them.

Health Gains: Shielding High-Risk Populations

Air conditioning is a lifesaver during extreme temperature conditions, especially for infants, older adults, and those with health issues. Besides, they assist in preserving indoor air high quality by eradicating mud, allergens, and pollutants — lowering the danger of respiratory points and allergies.

Comfort at work and productivity

Doing the math, workplace productivity drops by 1.8% for every degree above 25°C, research shows.

Everyone depends on Air conditioning to maintain a favourable temperature in offices, banks and commercial centres so that employees can be productive without fatigue that comes with heat.

Increase in Disposable Income & Change in Lifestyle

More people are able to buy air conditioning, as the economies are growings, disposable incomes are increasing. Rapid increase in incomes of the middle-class and improvement in living standards in countries such as the India, Brazil and Indonesia is further driving faster adoption of ACs.

Advancements in Technology: ACs That Get The Work Done At Lower Energy Requirement

The latest ACs come with the likes of inverter technology, solar-powered ACs, as well as smart climate control ensuring that the air-conditioners are more energy-efficient and eco-friendly. With these innovations, it becomes cheaper and easier to keep things cool.

The Influence of Working from Home and Home Comfort

Due to over 30% of the world workforce working remote full or part time, home AC has become a need. They enable you to focus, reduce stress and feel better overall, but only if the room temperature is set correctly.

What does the future hold for air conditioning?

Smart ACs are AI-enabled climate control systems that optimize cooling based upon occupancy and weather.

Sustainable Cooling Solutions: Creating environmentally-conscious refrigerants and sustainable cooling technologies.

Policies: National governments are increasingly enforcing energy-efficiency codes for appliances as a way to curb electricity use associated with air-conditioning.

Conclusion

Never has the demand for cooling been more required, Increasing temperatures, ever-surging cities, rapid urbanization, and shifting job forms have made ACs a necessity and not a luxury anymore. However, with the advancement of technology, we will see more focus on sustainable cooling to meet the modern era needs.
