Asia Pacific was the largest market for ventilation fans in 2014. Growth in this region is expected to be driven by significant infrastructure development in commercial, residential, and industrial applications.
The significant growth in the construction industry in BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) economies and major infrastructure development projects in MENA (Middle East and North Africa) is driving the growth of the ventilation fans market.

For many years, residential, commercial, and industrial end-users considered natural ventilation the only way to provide a path for contaminated air or water vapour to exit enclosed spaces. However, Industries are now extensively replacing traditional ventilation systems with newly developed and technologically advanced ventilation systems, including brushless D.C. motors that offer low noise and high energy efficiency. The most common ventilation fan chosen is an axial ventilation fan, due to its wide range of applications such as cooling fans, wind tunnels, ceiling fans, computer cooling, automobiles, and ventilation exhaust fans. Additionally, rising awareness of IAQ opens opportunities to ventilation fan manufacturers to introduce new products that deliver good IAQ.
