Global residential heat pump demand could skyrocket – if supply can keep up

Global residential heat pump demand could skyrocket in the coming decades as energy efficiency and energy consumption demand take centre stage as a result of energy insecurity and decarbonisation efforts. According to Rystad Energy’s latest research, global heat pump demand could hit 450mn units by 2030, doubling today’s total of around 190mn, and potentially tripling to 1.5bn by 2050. The forecast is based on the market analyst’s 1.6°C global warming scenario, which it believes is ‘well within reach’.
