UK Heating Equipment Market Analysis
The United Kingdom heating equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.73% during the forecast period, 2022-2027. With the outbreak of COVID-19, most commercial and industrial construction projects worked at a slower pace, while some were canceled. Production lines at some heating equipment manufacturers had to be held for several weeks, and installers saw their new installation projects limited by sanitary guidelines. The demand for the systems observed a major drop during the initial months, owing to lockdown restrictions and businesses refraining from investing in new equipment.
- The increase in replacement of existing equipment with better-performing ones and supportive Government regulations, including incentives for saving energy through tax credit programs, is driving the United Kingdom heating equipment market over the forecast period. For instance, the government of the UK has already set a target of installing heat pumps of 600,000 per year by 2028 to reduce the UK's reliance on fossil fuels and help fight global warming.
- The booming construction business in the country and the increasing end-user markets are the significant factors driving the growth of the heat pumps and boilers equipment market over the forecast period. Adopting the equipment includes energy efficiency, improved results, and lifespan.
- Vendors need to comply with various regulations set by the government regarding environmental protection, as the coolants and other substances used in heating equipment add to the global emissions. R-32 was chosen for its lower environmental impact, high energy efficiency, wide availability, and ease of use.
- The heating equipment market is aligned with the change to sustainability and green initiatives marking the country. Vendors of the studied market are indulging in introducing products that facilitate the green transition of various end-user industries. For instance, in August 2021, Tenova, a company offering sustainable solutions for the metals industry's green transition, announced the introduction of the 200-kW Tenova Self-Recuperative flameless smart burner. The smart burners are meant for heat treatment furnaces using hydrogen entirely while keeping NOx emissions below the strictest limits.
- According to The Renewable Energy Hub UK, using heat pumps can save 52% on energy expenses for consumers compared to gas boilers. However, with high initial costs, the Government of the United Kingdom, in 2021, announced to offer homeowners in England and Wales GBP 5,000 to install heat pumps to warm their homes. This is expected to drive huge demand for boiler replacements in the country with heat pumps.
