China will promote probably the most warmth pumps on the planet in 2022, however Europe will document the very best development in complete gross sales, in line with the Worldwide Power Company (IEA). It says that Italy, France, and Germany account for nearly half of all gross sales in Europe, and says that the air-to-water warmth pump is the preferred expertise.
World gross sales of warmth pumps will enhance by 11% yearly by 2022, in line with a brand new IEA examine. Warmth pumps cowl round 10% of the heating wants of buildings at this time, when they’re used as a major heating system, the company mentioned.
“That is equal to greater than 100 million houses, that means that one in ten houses that require a number of heating is served by warmth pumps at this time,” says the IEA. “Nevertheless, many households use warmth pumps solely in winter or as an extra supply of heating in areas the place they’re primarily used for cooling buildings.”
Throughout Europe, warmth pump gross sales are anticipated to extend by 49% year-on-year to 2022. Practically 3 million warmth pumps have been bought final 12 months, with air-to-water units extra widespread in Germany and Poland, and the air-to-air models which have emerged because the expertise of alternative within the Nordics and the Baltic international locations, in addition to in Southern Europe. Italy, France, and Germany account for nearly half of all gross sales in Europe, whereas the markets of Poland and Czechia are anticipated to double in measurement by 2022, in line with the IEA.

Whereas ground-source and water-source warmth pumps are probably the most environment friendly applied sciences, they’re additionally the costliest and account for lower than 10% of gross sales in Europe, in line with the IEA.
Warmth pumps outsold fossil gasoline boilers in French buildings for the primary time in 2022, when France launched a nationwide ban on fuel boilers in new buildings. In the USA, warmth pumps will surpass fuel furnace gross sales in 2022, after years of just about equivalent development.
“Installations of warmth pumps stay concentrated in new buildings and current single-family houses,” the IEA mentioned. “Condominium buildings and industrial areas must be a precedence space if sturdy development is to proceed.”
China produces round 40% of the world’s warmth pumps, in line with the IEA. The nation is the biggest producer and exporter of expertise, with most of its exports going to Europe.
The company famous that continued development in warmth pump deployment would require safe and steady provide chains. The 5 largest world producers are reported to have their headquarters within the Asia-Pacific area. Provide chains for chips are notably skinny in the mean time, says the IEA.
The company added that giant industrial warmth pumps and district heating play an necessary position within the decarbonization of warmth. It’s famous that further market statistics will probably be necessary in increasing the deployment.
