Market Dynamics

Advancements in AI-Enabled Air Conditioning 

Air conditioning technology advancements offer users the advantage of automatic adjustment of cooling levels. These air conditioners operate through continuous learning processes to achieve energy efficiency, personalised cooling features, and improved performance while requiring minimal input from users. Companies like Daikin, Panasonic, Samsung, and others are providing AI-enabled AC to deliver comfort, convenience, and innovation. 

  • In January 2025, Samsung launched BESPOKE AI WindFree Air conditioners. This range binds AI-driven innovations to adapt to varying climate conditions, ensuring consistent comfort and maximum efficiency.
  • In September 2024, Daikin introduced an AI control service for AC systems in commercial buildings. 
  • In January 2024, Panasonic launched Eolia inverter air conditioners with advanced AI functions for optimized temperature control and air quality management, leveraging real-time data for personalized comfort.

Rising Demand for Energy-Efficient Air Conditioning

Consumer preference is shifting towards energy-efficient air conditioners due to various advantages, including improved indoor air quality, lower energy consumption, environmental sustainability, government support and incentives, and others. The Japanese government offers various incentives and subsidy programs to encourage energy conservation and renewable energy adoption. Local governments offer rebates to replace older, less efficient appliances with newer, more efficient ones. Tokyo, Mie, Toyama, and Fukui are among the municipalities that have introduced programmes specifically for replacing old units with energy-efficient appliances. In September 2023, Daikin displayed a high-efficiency inverter air conditioner at the COP28 Japan Pavilion, emphasising its ability to achieve up to 50% energy savings.
