Dynamic solutions will define the future
The demand for connected homes driven by smart and energy efficient technology and stringent energy efficiency regulations have created unmet challenges within the HVAC and filters industry. Cross-vertical solutions led by Sweden’s expertise in connectivity and sustainability are primed to provide many answers. A complex combination of trends are shaping the market, presenting both challenges and need for change and growth opportunities.
1. Sustainability now essential
New HVAC technology and the systems they control must comply with rigorous regulations. Sweden has been a forerunner in meeting and exceeding targets in this area and Swedish companies could leverage the market with industry relevant knowledge and expertise.
2. Connected and smart future
Automated control and remote access are expected in today’s smart homes, and tomorrow's demands are setting higher standards. Swedish companies' trailblazing approach to connectivity provides a strong position for entering the evolving HVAC and filter market.

Market consolidation and M&A can resolve fragmentation across the historically family-run industry. Technology can meet existing and emerging demands but will only succeed by optimising a European footprint for competitiveness and proximity to customers.
