Heating equipment refers to devices designed to generate heat for regulating the temperature of a space through the use of thermal energy. Examples of such devices include freestanding stoves, fireplaces, and non-electric stoves, which are intended to provide warmth to a room or indoor area. Additionally, heating equipment is employed in laboratories for various experiments and serves industrial purposes.
The main types of heating equipment include heat pumps, furnaces, boilers, unitary heaters, and other variants. Heat pumps utilize electric or mechanical methods to transfer heat from one location to another. They are employed to make warmer spaces even warmer and cooler spaces cooler by efficiently moving heat between them. Various technologies, such as water source and ground source, are utilized in residential, commercial, and industrial applications for heat pump systems.

This heating equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The heating equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $41.37 billion in 2024 to $44.28 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in residential and commercial construction activities, replacement and upgrading of aging heating systems, rise in energy costs and focus on energy efficiency, increased adoption of renewable and clean energy sources, demand for comfort and indoor air quality in buildings.
The heating equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $57.08 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emphasis on smart and connected heating solutions, integration of heat pumps and geothermal heating systems, focus on hybrid heating systems for optimal efficiency, adoption of district heating and combined heat and power (chp) systems, customization of heating solutions for unique building needs. Major trends in the forecast period include high-efficiency condensing boilers, integration of smart thermostats and controls, heat pumps for heating and cooling, hydronic heating systems with radiant heating, biofuels and biomass heating solutions.
The increasing demand for the construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the heating equipment market in the future. The construction sector encompasses organizations involved in creating, maintaining, and repairing infrastructure. The expanding construction industry utilizes heating equipment, such as heat pumps, to provide heating and cooling in both large and medium-sized buildings. For example, in November 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, reported that new construction activities increased by £18,161 million ($19.96 million) in 2022, with private sector projects rising by 16.8% and public sector projects increasing by 13.1%. Therefore, the growing demand for the construction industry is fueling the growth of the heating equipment market.
The growth of urbanization is poised to further boost the heating equipment market. Urbanization involves the concentration of people in specific geographic locations, leading to the development of new residential and commercial buildings that require heating equipment for climate control. According to a World Bank report in 2022, over 50% of the world's population resides in urban regions, and this figure is projected to increase to 6 billion by 2045-a 1.5-fold increase. The report also predicts a significant expansion of urban built-up area by 2030, with urban land consumption expected to grow up to 50% faster than population growth. The ongoing trend of urbanization is a significant driver of the heating equipment market, fueled by the demand for climate control solutions in urban developments.
Technological advancements represent a significant trend gaining traction in the heating equipment market. Leading companies in the sector are leveraging new technologies, such as injection technology, to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in November 2023, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, a Japan-based electronics firm, introduced the Ecodan R290 Heat Pump. This product is designed for quiet operation, creating a tranquil home environment while allowing for multiple zone control to enhance energy efficiency and provide personalized comfort. It can deliver reliable heating even in extreme conditions, achieving high heating temperatures of up to 75°C at outside temperatures as low as -15°C, which is comparable to traditional gas boilers. This capability ensures effective home heating and provides sufficient hot water for larger families.
Leading companies in the heating equipment market are actively developing innovative products, including high-temperature heat pumps, to cater to larger customer bases, increase sales, and boost revenue. High-temperature heat pumps are heating and cooling systems designed to operate efficiently at elevated temperature ranges. In September 2023, Carrier, a prominent US-based manufacturer and distributor of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, launched a new series of high-temperature heat pumps. This series features capacities ranging from 30 kW to 735 kW, utilizing hydrofluoroolefins as the refrigerant. These heat pumps are not only designed to extract heat from ambient air and the ground but also to capture and utilize wasted heat from various sources, including data centers, leisure facilities, hotels, restaurants, process water, flue gases, and sewage systems. The product range includes the 410 kW AquaForce 61CA air-source heat pump, reaching temperatures as high as 82°C. The AquaForce 61CW-Z water-source heat pump offers a power range from 410 kW to 735 kW, achieving temperatures of up to 92°C. The AquaForce 61CWD water-source heat pump covers a power range of 110 kW to 540 kW and can reach temperatures of up to 120°C. The smallest product in the lineup is the AquaSnap 61CG water-source heat pump, with a capacity ranging from 30 kW to 130 kW, expandable to 390 kW when cascaded.
