Tendencies HVAC manufacturers is about to increase prices. The main trend is layng on changing the prices on components such as PCB, copper elements, compressor, motor. So let's consider future trends more closely.
PCB boards could get higher costs by 20% in accordance to current year. The high power relays on the PCB board use silver and copper contacts. Prices of bulk commodities such as silver and copper have surged. PCB circuit board: Prices of copper foil, copper clad laminate and epoxy resin substrates are predicted to raise. As wel as main control MCU chips: Prices of home appliance MCUs are rising with longer lead times.
Copper market forecast
Copper mine suppliers are getting worse forecast for next year so it would cost about 30% raise on finished products market. In comparison to 2025 some copper types are already increase its prices up to 265 so it would create perfect conditions for 2027 raise. Market expectation of higher US import tariffs for copper leads to large scale copper stockpiling in US. Higher copper costs, lifting PCB board costs.
Copper price is expected to stay high in 2026 and it gets consequences in 2027.
Compressors, motors
Due to changing the policies in manufacturers companis it woul cost whole market increaseng compressors and motors prices. How and why it happens? Some models of compressors are about to out from market in accordance to higher requiremants to efficiency and sustainability.
Insulation materials
Some plastic parts for injection molding are using in insuation. The sound insulation performance, flame retardancy and other material properties of foam are not comparable with ABS. The drop performance with new plastic parts is better than that of foam so it would cost some price increase on market.
