Heat Pump Water Heater Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Geothermal heat pump and Air source heat pump), Storage Tank Capacity (Up to 500 LT, 500 LT to 1000 LT and Above 1000 LT), Rated Capacity (Up to 10 kW, 10-20 kW, 20-30 kW, 30-100 kW, 100-150 kW and Above 150 kW), Application and Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Heat Pump Water Heater Market is accounted for $1.65 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $2.74 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period. Heat pump water heaters use electricity to transmit heat from one location to another, making water heating 2-3 times more energy-efficient than traditional water heating techniques. Heat pump water heaters collect heat from the surrounding air and dump it at a higher temperature into a tank to heat water. They have gained popularity in the home market segment and are frequently used in the industrial sector to minimise energy consumption and comply with global environmental regulations.
According to the report published by the united Nations Environment Programme, there is a lack of awareness among the contractors regarding the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for heat pumps.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Reduction in CO2 emission
Because of rising CO2 emissions, several countries are attempting to lower their primary energy demand and establish regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Heat pump water heaters are one of the most promising solutions for lowering greenhouse gas emissions. A heat pump water heater is an energy-efficient approach to supply warmth via aerothermal and geothermal technologies. Heat pump water heaters use low-temperature ambient heat from the air, water, and earth to raise the water temperature through energy input, mostly from electricity. As a result, adopting heat pump water heater systems rather than fossil fuel-based systems can dramatically reduce carbon emissions connected with energy use and generation. This is driving an increase in the number of heat pump water heater systems installed instead of fossil commercial and industrial markets.
Restraint:
Strict regulations
The global heat pump water heater market is facing a difficulty due to a lack of knowledge among potential consumers. It has been discovered that many end customers are unaware that heat pumps and water heaters use renewable energy and are substantially more efficient than other typical equipment. This has resulted in a decreased rate of heat pump adoption. As a result, universities and governments worldwide must raise knowledge about the favourable environmental consequences of heat pumps and water heaters. As a result, the lack of awareness will limit the expansion of the market under consideration throughout the projection period.
Opportunity:
Integration of IoT with heat pump water heaters
Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled heat pump water heater systems are intended to provide real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and remote diagnostics for heat pump water heaters. IoT-enabled heat pump water heater systems include smart thermostats that aid in monitoring environmental changes and interacting with the heat pump water heater equipment. Heat pump water systems can use data to continuously enhance performance and save energy thanks to cutting-edge software. Integration with IoT aids in the detection of anomalies in heat pump water heaters, resulting in lower system failure. As a result, the integration of IoT with heat pump water heaters provides considerable prospects for market growth.
Threat:
High installation cost
Heat pump heater systems are utilised in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors to increase energy efficiency, minimise energy costs, and reduce carbon emissions. There are two types of heat pump water heaters: aerothermal heat pumps and geothermal heat pumps. The cost of installing heat pump water heater equipment for residential, commercial, and industrial applications is determined by a variety of factors. For example, the installation cost of all heat pump systems in the residential application is determined by the size of the residence, additional ductwork, kind of equipment, and British Thermal Unit (BTU) value of the equipment. The cost of installing a heat pump water heater is also determined by the complexity, kind, brand, and size of the heat pump. Thus, the high installation cost is a challenge that can hamper the growth of the heat pump market.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID 19 pandemic had a detrimental influence on the heat pump water heater market because, as a result of the global adoption of lockdowns to prevent the spread of the COVID 19 pandemic, construction and hospitality activities for both residential and commercial segments came to a standstill or were cancelled. The upkeep of pre-existing structures was also postponed. On the other hand, the supply chain was disrupted, impeding the movement of people, materials, and money needed to restore the growth of the global commercial heat pump water heater market. All of these reasons contributed to a drop in commercial heat pump water heater sales and revenue.
The Up to 500 LT segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The Up to 500 LT segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, because to their ease of use and installation. They provide plenty of hot water for practically all modest commercial and household applications. As a result, water heaters with this capacity are appropriate for applications requiring less hot water in small business establishments and the residential sector, which includes residences and multifamily structures. Up to 500 LT capacity are utilised in the hospitality sector for vacation homes and motels to assure continuous availability of hot water for bathing, personal laundry, and other purposes.
The residential segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The residential segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Heat pump water heaters are in high demand due to the growing demand for energy-efficient solutions that are specifically developed for hot water generation applications in homes and apartments. The demand for heat pump water heaters in the residential sector is likely to rise as a result of favourable government initiatives and tax breaks for the installation of energy-saving equipment.
Region with largest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the rising adaptation of energy-efficient products. The region is home to a number of growing economies, including China, India, New Zealand, and Malaysia. These countries are undertaking a variety of activities to increase the installation of heat pump water heaters in order to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental pollution. In addition, numerous major competitors in the heat pump water heater market, including A.O. Smith Corporation, Midea Group, and others, have production sites in China, India, and Thailand.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for energy-efficient heat pump water heaters as governments geared up to achieve their target of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Furthermore, Europe has established minimum energy performance requirements for new structures, substantial building renovations, and building element replacement or retrofit (heating and cooling systems, roofs, and walls). The cold climatic conditions prevalent in European countries have contributed to the growth of the heat pump water heater market in Europe.
