The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technology provides environmental comfort through thermal manipulation (heating and air conditioning) and acceptable indoor air quality (ventilation). Sometimes refrigeration is also included in the field as HVACR. The HVAC industry is largely fueled by regional regulations and differences: Asia was said to have one of the largest HVAC market sizes, with a larger demand for air conditioners than in other regions. Meanwhile, Italy was one of the European countries with the biggest heat pump markets in 2020. Due to these differences between countries, there is little to no comparative information on this competitive market. In the United States alone, for example, a certain level of fragmentation can be observed, as the number of employees in the plumbing and HVAC industry varied widely from state to state.
