A heat pump water heater, often referred to as a hybrid water heater, is an energy-efficient appliance designed to heat water for residential or commercial use. Unlike traditional water heaters that generate heat directly to warm the water, heat pump water heaters utilize electricity to transfer heat. This process is similar to the operations of refrigerators and air conditioners in reverse manner. The heat pump water heater utilizes heat from the surrounding air or the ground and then magnifies this heat before transferring it to the water stored in its tank. Increasing consumer demand for sustainable and cost-effective home appliances positions heat pump water heaters as an attractive product in today's marketplace. Growing environmental awareness and government incentives for green technology adoption further attracted consumers towards adopting heat pump water heaters. Moreover, technological advancements enhance the performance and efficiency of heat pump water heaters, further bolstering the growth of the market. However, High initial installation costs compared to conventional water heaters and performance inefficiencies in colder climates may limit the market expansion. Nevertheless, incorporating smart technologies for better energy management and user control of heat pump water poses an opportunistic view. Moreover, integration with renewable energy sources, such as solar PV, to create hybrid systems is expected to bolster market growth further.
