World Air Survey
Daikin World Air Survey
"Awareness and Culture Related to Air Conditioners and Air" among 1,200 People in 12 Major Cities Worldwide.
DAIKIN conducted the "DAIKIN World Air Survey" in 2024. The survey primarily highlights how people in 12 cities around the world perceive and use air conditioners in their daily lives, exploring the differences and similarities between cities.
Air conditioning, invented in the US about 100 years ago, serves as essential social infrastructure for a comfortable and healthy life. In July 2024, the global average temperature reached its highest value ever recorded*1, making air conditioning increasingly important. Against this backdrop, Daikin aims to raise awareness of air conditioning and air among people around the world.
Daikin provides ideal air for every region in 175 countries and regions. In its efforts to realize "Perfecting the Air" around the world, the company continues to grapple with the diverse environments and needs of different countries and contributes to the sustainable adoption of air conditioning.
