Residential Space and Water Heating Electrification

Global Electric and Nonelectric Residential Space and Water Heating Market Analysis and Shipment Forecasts: 2024-2033

The market for electric residential space and water heating is expected to grow over the next decade largely because of growing government and consumer interest in fuel-switching and rising household adoption of reversible room air conditioners. While shipments of electric space and water heating equipment are expected to grow around the world, the types of technologies vary from region to region. For example, air source heat pumps are the fastest growing electric heating equipment in North America while reversible room air conditioners are the fastest growing electric heating equipment in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa.

The primary drivers and barriers for residential space and water heating electrification also vary from region to region, and often from country to country. Fuel switching tends to be a driver only in countries with strong government policies and robust incentive programs that either require or encourage households to make the switch, however a few select markets are also seeing natural consumer interest in fuel-switching where delivered fuel prices are rising or dependent on foreign imports, or both. Growing cooling demand is also expected to be a major driver in regions where household air conditioning penetration rates are low as many households are likely to purchase their first reversible room air conditioners that can provide both heating and cooling.

This Guidehouse Insights report analyzes the global market for residential space and water heating with a focus on electric and nonelectric fuel types used in each region. The study provides an analysis of the market drivers and barriers, as well as an overview of the major manufacturers of electric space and water heating equipment around the world. Global market forecasts estimate equipment shipments, broken out by fuel type and region, from 2024 to 2033.
