The 5th edition of the ‘Space Heating Market Report UK 2018-2022‘ represents an informed and up-to-date detailed review of the domestic and non-domestic space heating market. The total market for space heating products is substantial, and with climate change and growing concerns about energy efficiency and the environment, space heating products will increasingly be designed to deliver improved thermal performance, in order to achieve lower running costs.
Key areas covered:
- Domestic Space Heating – gas and electric fires; installed electric heating; portables; solid fuel stoves; radiant bar fires.
- Non-domestic Space Heating – commercial and industrial boilers; commercial radiators; heat emitters; warm air heaters; radiant heaters; commercial heating controls.
- Overall market size, trends and forecasts to 2022.
- Detailed market data and insight on the space heating market by AMA Research, a leading UK provider of construction market intelligence.
Specific areas of insight include:
- Impact of increasing legislation – ErP 2018 (reduced NoX emissions for commercial boilers, minimum efficiency standards for domestic local space heaters, commercial warm air heaters and radiant heaters), Part L 2018 (rental properties and buildings), simplified energy efficiency regs.
- Shift in demand for more aspirational domestic space heating products with innovative features and functionality.
- Replacement opportunities in the gas fires and stoves sector – around 11 million UK homes have a chimney and gas supply; also around 5 million inefficient storage heaters 20+ years old.
- Trend towards condensing wall-hung commercial boilers, driven by market demand and legislative changes. Modular boiler systems are also increasing popular, they offer a flexible solution that is more flexible and energy efficient.
- Increasing use of IoT smart heating controls in commercial buildings, to manage energy efficiency and support preventative maintenance measures.
- Widespread roll-out of smart metering in homes and businesses, with increased focus on energy efficient products.
- Growing importance of renewables, with many new commercial projects specifying systems that use energy from renewable sources.

The UK space heating market saw good growth in the period 2014-15. Improving levels of consumer and business confidence and expenditure supported value growth at this time. The market situation in 2016 was more subdued with the uncertainty surrounding the UK Brexit vote to leave the EU beginning to impact upon the economy.
However, since then the UK space heating market has remained moderately positive. Key drivers include new housing and replacement purchases, although the outlook for the non-domestic market is very much dependent on the path taken to exit the EU and the type of trade and legislative deals formulated.
In the domestic space heating sector, there has been a shift in demand for more aspirational products, which has supported value growth and retailer margins. In addition, climatic influences such as the relatively cold winter of 2017-18 will support demand for domestic space heating products to some extent.
The non-domestic space heating sector has seen steady improvement in the period 2014-17, with the private sector experiencing higher levels of business investment, particularly in the industrial, offices, retail and leisure sectors.
Other positive influences on the space heating market include the growing concerns about energy efficiency and the environment. The UK Government has introduced a significant amount of environmental legislation in recent years, placing a greater emphasis on carbon emissions and fuel efficiency.
The future performance of the UK space heating market is likely to be influenced by overall trends in housebuilding and construction, RMI activity, fuel prices, energy efficiency legislation, renewable technologies and technological developments.
