Residential Heat Pump Global Market Report 2024

The residential heat pump market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $36.51 billion in 2023 to $41 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to factors such as increased awareness of energy efficiency regulations, a rise in energy costs, growing environmental consciousness, market competitiveness, concerns about global warming, and the ongoing trend of urbanization.

The residential heat pump market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $62.45 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as economic growth, initiatives for carbon neutrality, policies focused on climate change mitigation, an increase in new construction projects, population growth in urban areas, and the adoption of energy storage solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of heat pumps with smart home systems, the widespread adoption of air-source heat pumps, increased installations of geothermal heat pumps, the emergence of hybrid heat pump systems, and advancements in heat pump technology.

The expanding interest in renewable energy sources is projected to fuel the growth of the residential heat pump market. Renewable energy, harnessed from naturally replenishing sources such as solar panels or wind turbines, offers sustainable alternatives for heating and cooling in households compared to traditional fossil fuel-based systems. For example, as of April 2023, global photovoltaic (PV) installations have surged, reaching 231 gigawatts of direct current (GWdc) and cumulatively totaling 1.2 terawatts of direct current (TWdc) in 2022, as reported by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). China, contributing 42% of global demand, drove this growth with a 57% increase in annual PV installations, primarily through distributed PV. Projections indicate installations surpassing 300 GW by 2023 and exceeding 400 GW by 2025, emphasizing the upward trajectory of renewable energy adoption and its impact on the residential heat pump market's expansion.

The growing trend toward smart homes is poised to drive the residential heat pump market forward. Smart homes, equipped with interconnected and remotely controlled devices and systems, aim to elevate convenience, efficiency, and security within households. Residential heat pumps, integral components of smart home ecosystems, contribute significantly to energy efficiency, comfort, and convenience. Notably, the United States is anticipated to have around 63.43 million smart houses, marking a 10.2% increase, as reported by Bankless Times in February 2023. Forecasts suggest a continuous rise, reaching 69.91 million smart homes by 2024 and further escalating to 77.05 million by 2025. This surge in smart home adoption indicates an increasing demand for such integrated systems, consequently propelling the residential heat pump market's growth.

The limited awareness about the advantages of heat pumps in emerging economies poses a challenge, potentially curbing market growth. Lack of familiarity among potential customers with the benefits, such as heightened energy efficiency and reduced energy expenses associated with heat pumps, inhibits market expansion. For instance, as of September 2021, as reported by the International Energy Agency, heat pumps were not widely recognized or embraced in several countries, despite being established and adopted in mature markets. This absence of awareness among consumers is a hindrance impacting the residential heat pump market's development.

Leading companies in the residential heat pump sector are dedicated to innovating their product lines, exemplified by the introduction of propane-based heat pumps, to deliver dependable customer service. Propane heat pumps function as heating and cooling systems using propane as the refrigerant, transferring heat from the outside to inside air during winter and vice versa in summer. An illustration of this innovation is the Aquarea L heat pump series launched by Panasonic Holdings Corporation in June 2023. This line of air-to-water heat pumps utilizes propane (R290) as the refrigerant for residential applications. Featuring inverter compressor technology, these pumps adjust compressor speed based on heating or cooling demand, enhancing efficiency. The incorporation of Aquarea Smart Cloud technology facilitates remote control of the heat pump via smartphones or tablets, marking a significant advancement in consumer convenience and control.

In May 2023, Carrier Global Corporation, a prominent US-based manufacturer of commercial and transport refrigeration solutions, completed the acquisition of Viessmann Climate Solutions SE for a sum of $13.2 billion. This strategic move is set to fortify Carrier's position in the realm of intelligent climate solutions and drive the advancement of energy transition initiatives. Furthermore, it facilitates Carrier's expansion into Europe's commercial sector, leveraging the expertise and market presence of Viessmann Climate Solutions SE, a reputable German company specializing in the manufacture of heat pumps for both residential and commercial buildings.
