Favorable governmental policies promoting energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction are expected to drive market CAGR growth in the foreseeable future. Governments worldwide are offering subsidies, incentives, tax credits, and rebates to encourage the adoption of energy-efficient heat pumps, thereby stimulating demand in the heat pump industry. In 2022, the European Union's primary energy consumption exceeded the 2030 target by 26.7% but fell 4.2% below the 2020 target. Final energy consumption surpassed the 2030 target by 23.3% but was 1.9% below the 2020 target. The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that energy intensity improvement accelerated from 0.8% per year (2000-2010) to 1.7% per year (2010-2022), resulting in substantial CO2 emissions reductions. In the NZE Scenario, energy intensity improvement is projected to increase to 4% per year on average this decade, potentially avoiding around 10 Gt CO2 per year by 2030.
The demand for heat pumps in Europe is significantly influenced by the growing emphasis on sustainability and energy conservation. Heat pumps use less energy than traditional systems since they transfer heat rather than create it, making them extremely effective for heating and cooling areas. This is in line with international initiatives to improve energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions. For instance, on July 25, 2023, Europe concluded the legislative process to bolster the Energy Efficiency Directive, which came into effect in all member countries on October 10, 2023. This directive aims to reduce EU final energy consumption by 11.7% by 2030 compared to projected levels based on the 2020 reference scenario, translating to specific targets of 992.5 million tonnes of oil equivalent for primary energy consumption and 763 Mtoe for final energy consumption by 2030. Thus, driving the Europe Heat Pump market revenue.
The Europe Heat Pump market segmentation, based on Product, includes Air Source, Ground Source, and Water Source. The air source segment dominated the market. The air source heat pump segment in Europe is poised for significant growth until 2032, driven by increasing demand for reliable, user-friendly, and efficient space heating systems in both residential and commercial settings. This trend is fueled by the growing preference for ambient temperatures. Air source heat pumps offer numerous benefits, such as low maintenance requirements, compact size, affordability, and ease of installation, which contribute to their rising popularity. For instance, in June 2022, Trane introduced an expanded range of air-source heat pump units featuring R-454B refrigerant. These units, equipped with 4 Sintesis Balance CMAF tubes, provide efficient heating and cooling with capacities ranging from 150 kW to 1,400 kW. Regulatory bodies are increasingly focused on replacing traditional heating systems with clean and sustainable alternatives like heat pumps, which will further bolster the air source heat pump industry in the region.
The Europe Heat Pump market segmentation, based on Application, includes Residential and Commercial. The residential segment dominated the market. The surge in urbanization, coupled with the increasing demand for energy-efficient products, is projected to propel the market for heat pumps in the residential sector. Manufacturers are prioritizing residential decarbonization efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. For instance, Daikin recently introduced a comprehensive plan aimed at transforming residential heating and cooling systems. According to Daikin, approximately 36% of all CO2 emissions in the European Union originate from the building stock, highlighting the importance of deploying heat pumps in new residential constructions. This trend is driving the demand for heat pumps across the region. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, residential construction has experienced significant growth in many markets. For example, the German construction sector was expected to generate sales of EUR 151 billion in 2022, marking a 5.5% increase from 2021, as reported by the country's leading construction associations, ZDB and HDB. The robust performance of the residential construction sector in Germany has remained resilient amidst the pandemic, contributing to the overall market growth.

Key drivers expected to propel growth in the heat pump market during the forecast period include the escalating imperative to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, seek energy-efficient alternatives to traditional heating and cooling systems, and respond to shifting global climate conditions. Germany, abundant in renewable energy sources, offers advanced and suitable heat pump solutions to meet consumer needs. According to the Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Associations, 87% of the European market volume was sold in only ten countries. The five biggest European heat pump markets in 2020 were France (394,129 units sold; −0.7% growth vs. 2020), Italy (232,834; +12.2%), Germany (140,390; +37.2%), Spain (127,856; −0.2%), and Sweden (107,723; +4.4%). The biggest absolute gains were achieved in Germany (38,040), Italy (25,324), Poland (18,504), the Netherlands (13,475) and Denmark (5,117). In relative terms, seven markets showed substantial increases above 10%. The government's backing through the implementation of favorable policies and financial schemes, such as financial assistance, subsidies, and tax incentives, has further incentivized the adoption of heat pumps. For instance, in January 2023, the German government modified its incentive program to encourage the adoption of sustainable heating methods, including heat pumps employing natural refrigerants. The updated regulations provide a base subsidy rate of 25% and can cover up to 40% of the costs related to the purchase and installation of heat pumps. Additionally, government efforts to promote environmentally friendly building infrastructure, coupled with a strong emphasis on reducing carbon emissions from building stock, will enhance the dynamics of the national industry.
