Growing demand for energy-efficient space warming products is expected to drive the radiator industry over the forecast period. Rising energy consumption in residential and industrial sectors is estimated to drive the demand for energy-efficient products and technologies that decrease operational costs and enhance energy savings.

The market relies on technological developments as it is competitive in nature. Major industry players strive to achieve continuous development in businesses to gain a competitive advantage as product substitution is difficult. Thus, application-based product development offers a competitive advantage to these players. However, the presence of local players poses a substantial threat to the global and multinational companies, in terms of product quality and prices offered to customers. Moreover, market players face threat owing to the demand for highly-skilled workforce and fluctuations in raw material costs.

Residential application segment is likely to drive the growth of the U.S. heating radiator market. Residential applications include single and multi-family houses, homes, etc. Favorable growth of the construction industry is one of the major factors favoring the product demand in residential and commercial application segments. Electric radiator product segment is anticipated to dominate the market over the forecast period. Though electric radiators are costly in comparison to hydronic radiators, their low maintenance, performance, and advancements, among other features of electric system, are likely to boost their demand across various application segments.

Product Insights

Based on product, the market has been segmented into electric heating radiator and hydronic heating radiator.Hydronic heating systems offer warmth by using hot water, which is pumped to radiators, heat exchangers or to under floor tubing. Unlike forced air heating, hydronic heaters do not blow air and are safe to be used by consumers having allergies or respiratory issues. In addition, hydronic radiator is economical in comparison to electric radiator. The hydronic radiator industry is expected to ascend at a moderate CAGR of 7.4% from 2019 to 2025.

Electric radiator is a radiator plugged directly to the electric outlet. It is one of the eco-friendly forms of energy-efficient solution as it does not use oil, fuels or any other sources. However, electric radiators are costly and include electricity charges per unit per year. The efficient energy source favors the demand for electric heating radiators. The segment is projected to be valued at USD 5.4 billion, progressing at a remarkable CAGR of 9.8% by 2025.

Application Insights

Based on application, the heating radiator market has been segmented into residential, industrial, and commercial applications. Residential sector is one of the booming sectors, which is projected to propel the product demand over the forecast period. Growing importance of radiators in residential applications with the growth of construction sector, growing renovation and infrastructural repair activities, and the need for heating equipment in residential areas are expected to drive the product demand over the forecast period.

The demand for heating radiators and other heating equipment in commercial spaces, offices, and shops is projected to ascend with the growth of commercial sector. Industrial application segment was valued at USD 1.8 billion in 2018. In industrial application, heating radiators play a vital role in manufacturing, smelting, and other processes. They are widely used in aviation, food, beverage, and mining industries.

Regional Insights
