An increase in the computational powers of the system produces more heat, and to have efficiency in their proper functioning requires adequate temperature. Hence, the market for air conditioners will grow in the forecast period. The rising power of data in today’s world asks for a greater number of data centres to be built by various companies.

However, due to high costs, higher operation costs, and environmental concerns, some of the factors will hamper the growth of Air Conditioners in the forecast period.
