Heat Pump Water Heater Market Research, 2030

[ 170 + Pages Research Report ]Heat Pump Water Heater Market to surpass USD 3.7 billion by 2030 from USD 1.2 billion in 2019 at a CAGR of 5.7% throughout the forecast period, i.e., 2020-30.

Water heat pump heaters usually use electricity to transfer heat directly from one location to another instead of producing heat, which helps to minimize energy consumption by three times compared to traditional electric water heaters. The heat pump water heaters act like a fridge to transfer the heat from one location to another but in reverse, as the heat pump water heaters draw the heat from the surrounding air and hold it in a tank at a higher temperature to heat water. The heat pump water heater saves energy by transferring the heat available (BTUs) in the air to the water heater tank. They can be installed to draw heat from indoor air (if cooling is desired) or from the outdoor air. The heat pump water heater provides the best energy savings when used in areas where temperatures are mild.

Heat Pump Water Heater Market: Segments

A geothermal segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30

Heat Pump Water Heater Market is segmented by type as Air Source, Geothermal. Based on type air source segment is the largest segment of the market for Heat Pump Water Heater in 2019. Due to its low installation cost and environmentally friendly technology, the market for air source heat pumps is rising largely in the residential sector. Because countries such as China, Australia, Thailand, and New Zealand are focused on limiting their carbon footprint resulting from the use of fossil fuels, they are primarily used in the Asia Pacific. They are primarily used in the residential sector because a multifamily building would usually need a heat pump water heater that takes up less space and has low installation costs compared to commercial buildings such as hotels and hospitals due to low hot water requirements.

500-1,000 Liter Segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30

Heat Pump Water Heater Market is segmented by liter into Up to 500 L, 500–1000 L, Above 1000 L. The Below 500 liters capacity segment led the market and accounted for an XX.X% revenue share in 2019 due to the high suitability of applications across residential and multiple commercial establishments. Water heater heat pumps falling under this category are lightweight and are therefore simple to build. They have enough hot water for the residential sector and almost all small commercial applications. Water heaters with this capability are also ideal for applications with low hot water requirements in small commercial and residential industries, such as homes and multi-family buildings. In the hospitality sector for holiday homes and motels, small individual heat pump water heaters of up to 500 liters capacity are used as they ensure interruption-free accessibility of hot water for bathing, personal washing, etc. applications.

Heat Pump Water Heater Market: Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rising global energy consumption

Increasing population, along with rapid economic growth worldwide, would lead to a rise in energy demand. Increased demand for heat pumps would result from the combined effect of economic growth and increasing energy consumption. As the residential construction sector in developed countries recovers and housing demand from developing countries increases, there will be sufficient demand for HVAC systems, thus growing the demand for heat pumps. Therefore, during the forecast period, rising energy consumption and robust demand from the housing sector would add momentum to the global heat pump market.

Growing demand for geothermal heat pumps

Central heating/cooling systems that either transfer heat from or to the ground are geothermal heat pumps. These systems make use of the earth as the source or sink of heat, depending on the application. Up to a depth of 10 feet, the shallow surface of the earth's crust usually retains a fairly constant temperature of 10°C-16°C. To provide the requisite heating and cooling, geothermal pumps can tap into this energy resource. With the shifting energy mix, the increasing focus on renewable energy will pave the way for the increased use of geothermal and hydrothermal heat pumps.

Restraint

Lack of awareness regarding benefits of heat pump water heaters

Awareness regarding energy efficiency, cost efficiency, and environmental benefits of heat pump water heaters are low among all end-user segments. This is because they are generally considered to be costly, serving as a barrier to market penetration in both emerging and underdeveloped economies. There is also a lack of understanding of the possibilities provided by heat pump water heaters for energy conservation and CO2 emission reduction. The lack of knowledge of heat pump technology in the supply chain is also an obstacle to the adoption of water heat pump heaters in developing and underdeveloped countries.
