Summer is in full swing and plunging temperatures are on the rise. With El Nino making a comeback, global warming has made this summer one of the hottest in years. The heat has become unbearable, with temperatures outside often going beyond 35-45°C.
The rise in scorching temperature has led to the development of personal cooling technologies. While the traditional air conditioners and fans remain indoors, there is an increasing demand for personal cooling devices that allow us to beat the heat on the go.
From tanks and plates to special fabrics, the personal cooling technology market is projected to grow tremendously in the next decade. Companies are seeing a threefold increase in sales in the past 2-3 years. The market is expected to reach 8.3 billion by 2030.
One example of such a device is a tank which releases cold air for several hours and then needs replacement with heated plates. This can help people who must work outside in extreme temperatures to last a full day.
The technology can help save people from the discomfort of dealing with the heat and keep them healthy and active. It can also help reduce the number of heat-related illnesses and deaths.
Many other personal cooling technologies are in use today. Some companies are producing clothing and fabric made of special materials designed to keep air cool and reduce the surface temperature of the wearer’s body. Some hats and umbrellas can be outfitted with cooling systems, and neck collars have been developed to keep the neck and head area feeling cool.
With heat becoming an increasingly common problem, the demand for personal cooling technologies is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. The technology promises to save people from the extreme heat and keep them healthy.
