However, despite their economic feasibility, these systems can account for a large share of a structure’s energy consumption. As a result, consumers are actively demanding energy-efficient HVAC systems to bring down their power costs, which is one of the prominent HVAC system market trends.
In addition to this, governments in several countries are constantly upgrading energy consumption standards for heating and cooling technologies.
For example, the minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating was raised by the US Department of Energy to elevate the energy efficiency quotient of HVAC systems in the country.
We are therefore looking at the Heating, Cooling & Air Control Category on Amazon US.

Competing strongly on the basis of their brand presence, “LEVOIT” is followed by “Lasko,” “Honeywell,” & “Guardian Technologies” competing next, having 64, 47 & 26 best selling products in one year on Amazon US.
Let us now analyze the category on different parameters.
Market Dynamics Overview
Here is some key Data on Products that spent the most time in the Top 100.

We have analyzed here the average, median, top and low quartile, and min and max of the price, star ratings, and ratings of the top 100 products that entered the BSR Top 100 in the category Heating, Cooling & Air Quality on Amazon – the US.

We found that the average price of the Top 30 brands out of the best sellers in the analyzed category, is $56, higher than the average best selling price of the category. This indicates strong competition on the basis of pricing. A product with good ratings and in the top quartile price range could make it to the top 100 for sure.
Brand Performance
Brands that had the longest presence in the Top 100 BSR with at least one product.

A 100% presence rate for 22 out of 30 brands on the leaderboard makes it a super competitive niche. At least one product of each of the 22 brands has been a best seller for the entire year. “LEVOIT,” “Lasko,” “Honeywell,” & “Guardian Technologies” made it to the list as the top 4 brands in the category with 43, 64, 47 & 26 products with the highest best-seller days in top 100.

It is rather striking that the brands “SEAVON” & “Version TECH.”, with only 1 product each are grouped in this category with brands like LEVOIT, Lasko & Honeywell with 43, 64 & 47 products respectively.
The Brands Leaderboard gives us a clear idea of the most popular Heating Cooling & Air control subcategories. These are air purifiers & parts, dehumidifier parts, fans, indoor thermometer, etc.
