The USA scroll compressor market is rapidly expanding due to decarbonization efforts in heating and cooling, increased electric vehicle (EV) thermal management needs, and rising demand for sustainable residential and commercial climate solutions. Valued at about USD 1.16 billion in 2025, the market is expected to grow at a 4.9% CAGR, reaching nearly USD 1.88 billion by 2035.
Scroll compressors are key components in HVAC systems, refrigeration, and EVs, favored for their compact size, efficiency, and quiet operation. Federal incentives and stricter energy standards support market growth.
The EV sector is a major driver, as OEMs rely on scroll compressors for battery cooling and cabin comfort. Smart compressor technologies, including variable speed and IoT-enabled features, are also gaining traction, especially in residential heat pumps.
Challenges include high upfront costs and slower adoption in older buildings and rural areas. However, state and federal programs promoting electrification and energy efficiency help mitigate these barriers.
Oil-free scroll compressors, which reduce maintenance and contamination risk, are opening new markets in cleanrooms and medical fields. The shift to low-global warming potential refrigerants like R-32 is further shaping product development.
Leading players include Emerson Electric, Danfoss, Mitsubishi Electric, and LG Electronics. The U.S. market leads growth, supported by strong policies, while North and South America offer additional opportunities.
