United Kingdom: Strategic Market Outlook
The publication of the UK Government’s Heat and Buildings Strategy in October 2021 and media interest in decarbonising heating, particularly in the year when Britain hosted the COP26 Climate Change Conference, has galvanised consumer interest in heat pumps. UK sales of hydronic heat pumps are forecast by industry to nearly double over the next year, and the UK is reaching a tipping point whereby heat pumps are being seen as a mainstream alternative to fossil fuel heating systems rather than a niche product.
