Scroll chillers had the largest market share in 2015 and the same trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. The growing demand for large absorption chillers in the vertical industry in developing countries such as China, Japan, and India is expected to drive the market in the next six years.
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to retain the largest market share during the forecast period due to increasing capabilities of nuclear, geothermal, and solar power plants in that region.
