Infrastructure Rebuilding and Expanding Consumer Base to Propel the Growth of Air Conditioner Market in Iraq - 6Wresearch

Cycles of warfare and conflict followed by economic volatility in Iraq over the past decade has weakened the country's governance. Security crisis in the country kept the investors at bay and damaged critical infrastructure in the country significantly impacted economic growth. Slump in oil prices led to budget cuts and deferment of projects in the country. Additionally, poor management of funds by local firms and lack of private sector participation further resulted in delayed projects, leading to decline in market revenues for various products and equipment including air conditioners.

According to 6Wresearch, Iraq air conditioner market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% during 2018-24. With oil prices stabilizing gradually and conflict being even out, reconstruction and development of infrastructure is on a rise in Iraq. Substantial investment primarily in housing, oil & gas, power and hospitality sectors is anticipated to elevate the market growth over the coming years. Oil and gas, housing, infrastructure, industry, minerals, and service sectors are expected to account for 65% of the overall investment in the next 10 years, while ICT, transportation healthcare, water, electricity, tourism and renewable energy would likely to grab the remaining 35% investment in Iraq in the next 10 years. Furthermore, declining prices and expanding consumer base would boost the sales of air conditioning primarily in the residential sector.

According to Prijo Samuel, Assistant Research Manager - IT & Electronics, Research and Consulting, 6Wresearch, "Wall mounted split air conditioners was the largest selling segment in terms of volume, inverter split air conditioning models of 24,000 BTU and 36,000 BTU were the most popular segment in the country with major demand arriving from residential application."

"Additionally, Centralized segment primarily, VRF was the fastest growing segment in system air conditioner segment. VRF systems were largely adopted among large number of projects implemented across the country where availability of electricity is still a concern in several prime cities. Low power consumption, quick cooling and ease of operations were other benefits offered by these units as compared to other air conditioner types available in the market," Samuel further added.
