The global heat pump market size was estimated at USD 67.7 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1% from 2022 to 2030. The industry growth is expected to be driven by increased demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective space heating and cooling applications in residential and commercial housing. The various lockdown measures put in place by governments across the world to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus have made it difficult to obtain the raw materials required for the manufacture. Furthermore, the pandemic has adversely affected this industry due to the halt in the construction of residential and commercial facilities.
Air Source technology is expected to dominate the market in the U.S. over the forecast period due to the rising awareness about the adverse effects of greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the increasing population along with the increasing need for ecofriendly air conditioning in the housing sector is expected to drive the demand for air source technology in the U.S.
The government initiatives including rebates, incentive plans, personal and corporate tax credits, and clean heating & cooling initiatives are expected to positively influence the growth of the market. The U.S. federal government has implemented renewable energy rebate programs in the country since 1998 for offering discounts on installing renewable energy systems including ground source systems in the buildings.
The various advantages of heat pumps such as low maintenance requirements, economical operations, low carbon footprint, and longer lifespan expectancy have greatly influenced their demand. Furthermore, its ability to provide water-heating solutions along with heating and cooling of space is expected to boost the demand for air source technology over the forecast years.
The increasing construction activities across residential units in North America along with increased surgical infrastructure investment and the rising demand for efficient space and water heating solutions will augment the demand in the single and multi-family residential building industry.
The air source technology segment led the heat pump market and accounted for a revenue share of 81.1% in 2021. Air source technology is an efficient source of hot water, along with spacing heating and cooling applications by ensuring low carbon footprint, low maintenance, easy installation process, and cost-effective.
Water source technology utilizes energy stored in the ground, surface, or seawater, depending on which is more feasible. The heat pump extracts heat from the water and makes it available for heating, cooling, and hot water applications ensuring heat is evenly distributed in the provided space by employing a hydronic distribution system or by using fan coils/ ducted ventilation system.
The ground source segment is projected to register a CAGR of 9.0% over the forecast period. The increased growth in demand for these products can be attributed to their supply of stable temperature by maintaining consistency regardless of the outside temperature along with their low operating costs, energy-efficient features, and the use of renewable energy sources thereby helping to mitigate the pollution.
New technologies such as dual-source are emerging into the market which possess an added advantage of being able to draw heat from either air or the ground, depending on which source is more convenient which makes them more effective than other technologies. They are also built with variable-speed motors to boost energy savings and comfort.
The residential application segment has led in the year 2021 by accounting for 80.5% of global heat pump revenue. Residential applications for hot water along with space heating and cooling have witnessed a rise in demand due to the increasing population which in turn leads to the growth in demand for cost-effective and convenient air conditioning techniques.
These products are used in commercial facilities like office buildings, hotels, schools, house of worship, and historic buildings since their variable refrigerant flow heat pump systems enables them to offer cooling zones and heating to other zones simultaneously in a facility.

The Asia Pacific region dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of 46.9% in 2021, due to several factors, like the growing demand for energy-efficient heating solutions in the residential and commercial industries coupled with the rising awareness about climate change and greenhouse gas emission.
Increasing demand for energy-efficient systems along with government schemes to facilitate emission reduction and clean heating and cooling systems to adopt clean and sustainable technology has greatly influenced the rise in demand in North America. Furthermore, the population growth followed by the increase in household units will boost the growth in the residential segment.
Europe is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.6% over the forecast period due to the government initiatives to curb carbon emissions along with rising environmental concerns that have elevated the demand for sustainable heating systems in the region. The increasing investments in the establishment of greenhouse infrastructure are expected to further fuel the growth of the market.
The growth in the demand for air conditioning and hot water systems due to the rising population is expected to drive the demand in the Middle East & Africa and Central & South America over the forecast period. The rising awareness about climate change and the need to curb pollution is anticipated to drive the growth of the market in the forthcoming years.

The global construction industry, once thriving with increased investments, has been severely affected by the suspension of the construction activities in the wake of the ongoing pandemic. Shortage of labors coupled with potential supply chain bottlenecks of materials and equipment is expected to cause project delays in the ongoing funded projects and may lead to reduced spending in the upcoming projects. Uncertainty around the actual duration of the prevailing lockdown makes it hard to anticipate how a recovery in the construction industry will unfold. On similar lines, the HVAC industry has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak due to the shutting down of several component manufacturing facilities across China, European countries, Japan, and the U.S. This has consequently led to a significant slowdown in the production of HVAC equipment. Lockdowns imposed by the governments in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak has not only affected manufacturing but also pegged back the consumer demand for HVAC equipment. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.
