Heat Pump Market Drivers

Contribution of Heat Pump Technology to Reduce Carbon Footprint

• Energy is an essential power source in homes, hospitals, and schools, among others. However, its production and usage result in the emission of greenhouse gasses in significant volumes. Thus, major economies across the globe are aiming to reduce their dependence on nonrenewable energy sources and are gradually inclining toward renewable energy sources to restrict the emission of greenhouse gasses. The heat pump technology is a promising solution for lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Heat pumps through aerothermal and geothermal technologies offer an energy-efficient approach to space heating. The heat pump is often regarded as a sustainable technology when used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. In the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, heat pumps are widely used for space heating, cooling, and heating water.

Rising Focus towards Sustainability

• The non-renewable energy sources result in the production of greenhouse gasses that cause global warming. The deteriorating environmental conditions and climate change issues are the major factors that are shifting the focus towards the adoption of the sustainable products for heating and cooling solutions. Therefore, the demand for the heat pumps is expected to grow significantly across the industrial and residential sector owing to the rising awareness regarding environment protection and renewable energy sources.

Heat Pump Market Restraints

Less Awareness Regarding Advantages Associated with Heat Pumps in Emerging Economies

• The heat pump is technically complex equipment. The awareness regarding the energy efficiency, cost efficiency, and environmental benefits associated with heat pumps, as well as technical know-how, are limited among end users from developing and underdeveloped economies. This factor is expected to hamper their penetration rate in emerging economies. There is lack of awareness among contractors regarding the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for heat pumps. The ISO standards play a crucial role in the quality assurance and safety of the products or services offered.

Less Awareness in Developing Nations

• There is a lack of awareness regarding the benefits of the heat pumps in the developing nations. The developing nations are witnessing a rapid industrialization and urbanization and the lack of awareness regarding the social and environmental benefits of the heat pumps may adversely impact the global heat pump market during the forecast period.
