Abstract
Mexico's rapidly expanding room air conditioner (AC) market presents a strategic opportunity for U.S.
manufacturers to strengthen North American supply chains while addressing critical energy
infrastructure challenges. With demand for room AC units in residential and commercial buildings
projected to drive a 26 GW increase in Mexico’s peak electrical load by 2050, high-efficiency air
conditioning systems offer both substantial market opportunities and essential grid stability benefits.
