Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2bflfk/global_automotive) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive HVAC Market 2015-2019" report to their offering.

The analysts forecast the Global Automotive HVAC market to grow at a CAGR of 7.72 percent over the period 2014-2019.

HVAC is the technology used to provide heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to maintain good air quality and deliver thermal comfort through adequate ventilation inside vehicles. The main principles behind the operation of an HVAC unit are conduction and convention. Heat is transferred from a low-temperature region to a high-temperature region inside the vehicle because of pressure difference.

Increasing usage of eco-friendly refrigerants is one of the major trends in the market. HVAC system manufacturers are manufacturing eco-friendly alternatives such as HFO-1234yf for use in automotive HVAC systems because of harmful effects of the currently used refrigerants, i.e., R-134a.

According to the report, one of the major drivers of the market is increase in demand from the APAC region. The reason for this demand is increase in disposable income of consumers combined with expansion of the middle class in this region.

Further, the report states that the harmful effects of refrigerants on the environment are one of the major challenges that the market faces. Refrigerants used in automotive HVAC systems are particularly harmful to the environment because these gases have 1,700 times more global warming potential.
