Definition and Scope: Absorption chillers are cooling systems that utilize heat energy, typically steam or hot water, to drive a refrigeration cycle for cooling purposes. These chillers are commonly used in industrial processes, commercial buildings, and district cooling systems. Unlike traditional vapor-compression chillers that rely on mechanical compression to circulate refrigerant, absorption chillers use a thermal process to achieve cooling, making them more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. The key components of an absorption chiller include the generator, absorber, pump, and heat exchanger, working together to provide a sustainable cooling solution. The market for absorption chillers is witnessing a steady growth trajectory driven by several factors. Increasing awareness of environmental sustainability and the need for energy-efficient cooling solutions are driving the demand for absorption chillers. Additionally, government regulations promoting the use of eco-friendly technologies and the emphasis on reducing carbon emissions are further propelling market growth. The versatility of absorption chillers in utilizing waste heat or renewable energy sources for cooling applications is also a significant market driver. Moreover, the growing adoption of absorption chillers in various industries such as chemical processing, food and beverage, and data centers is contributing to the expansion of the market. The global Absorption Chillers market size was estimated at USD 798.72 million in 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.40% during the forecast period.
