The growing sustainability awareness across the globe is likely to bring new key trends in the market in the coming years.

Energy Recovery Ventilator Market Analysis

People in America spend ~90% of their time indoors, so finding the right ventilation strategy is critical to achieving a safe and healthy indoor environment. As buildings become more airtight, compact, and energy-efficient, they retain indoor air pollutants, leading to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). Typical pollutants include VOCs released from cooking, cleaning, upholstery, furniture, and painting, as well as moisture from showering, cooking, and breathing. Adverse effects of poor air quality or poor ventilation include health problems, the spread of airborne diseases, and low productivity. Thus, the rise in awareness toward maintaining good air quality in residential, commercial, and industrial areas is projected to propel the energy recovery ventilator market from 2025 to 2031.

The awareness for improving indoor air quality is rising, supported by government regulations and standards. Moreover, the demand for energy recovery ventilators is growing in corporate buildings, fueling the market growth. However, installation complexity and frequent maintenance requirements are expected to hinder the growth of the energy recovery ventilator market. Moreover, technological developments in energy recovery ventilators are projected to create opportunities for companies operating in the market in the coming years. Further, the role of energy recovery ventilators in achieving sustainability goals is expected to be the key future trend in the energy recovery ventilator market during 2025–2031.

Energy Recovery Ventilator Market Overview

Ventilation helps in reducing the transmission of airborne diseases in indoor spaces. An energy recovery ventilator (ERV) is a passive energy recovery device used to minimize the energy consumption of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. It preconditions ventilation air by transferring energy from the building's exhaust air. Therefore, ventilation and exhaust air streams interact directly or indirectly in the ERV for energy transfer. Key end users of energy recovery ventilators contributing toward the market growth across the globe include residential & commercial buildings and industries such as energy & utilities, data centers, retail, hospitality, and industrial facilities (beyond manufacturing). There is increasing demand for efficient, customized HVAC systems for various industries, such as circuit board manufacturing, mining, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and cleanroom systems. Several industrial and production buildings have high emissions levels. Production processes require frequent removal of excess heat or pollutants from indoor air using a local or general exhaust system. Therefore, manufacturing facilities are focusing on using energy recovery fans to meet ventilation and energy standards while improving indoor air quality and minimizing overall HVAC equipment capacity. In addition, the recovery in manufacturing value added at the global level entails significant capital investments.

Energy Recovery Ventilator Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Focus on Improving Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality has a huge impact on their comfort and health, whether at home or the workplace. Insufficient ventilation can make a room stuffy and uncomfortable. Exposure to indoor pollutants such as radon, mold, pressed wood products (which may contain formaldehyde), secondhand smoke, and other materials can lead to health problems such as lung cancer and asthma. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) negatively impacts the cognitive function, health, and well-being of indoor occupants. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that worker productivity in the workspace can be improved by 5–6% when air quality levels are rated good. Balanced and increased ventilation optimizes indoor air quality using an energy recovery ventilator.

Technological Developments in Energy Recovery Ventilator

As applications for energy recovery ventilators increase across different sectors, market players are significantly focusing on developing new products as well as upgrading their existing product lines to meet the needs of their customers. For instance, in February 2024, Panasonic Corporation launched the WhisperComfort 60 energy recovery ventilator. This new energy recovery ventilator is home ventilating institute (HVI) certified and will provide customers with better, energy efficient, and cost-effective house ventilation. In addition, Panasonic Corporation teamed up with ARISTA Homes (homebuilder in North America) to provide residential with WhisperAir RepairR spot purifiers or the Intelli-Balance energy recovery ventilator. Moreover, in July 2020, LG Electronics (LG) introduced an expanded line of Puricare air care solutions. The new solutions provide much-needed relief for poor indoor air environments produced by industrial pollution or local weather phenomena such as sandstorms and dust.
