The 6th edition of the ‘Space Heating Market Report UK 2020-2024’ has been published by AMA Research. The report represents an informed and up-to-date detailed review of the Residential and non-Residential space heating market.
With the UK Government target for carbon net zero emissions by 2050 and growing concerns about energy efficiency and the environment, both Residential and non-Residential space heating products are increasingly designed to deliver improved thermal performance and produce lower carbon emissions.
Key Issues Covered in the Report
Residential Space Heating – gas and electric fires; installed electric heating; portables; solid fuel stoves; radiant bar fires.
Non-Residential Space Heating – commercial and industrial boilers; commercial radiators; heat emitters; warm air heaters; radiant heaters; commercial heating controls.
Areas of Particular Interest
An assessment of the effects that Covid-19 and UK exit from the EU will have on this market in the short to medium term, including current weakness of Sterling and the high cost of imports.
Impact of increasing legislation – Part L 2020, SAP 10, Future Homes Standard, Clean Growth Strategy, ErP 2022 (critical limits on PM emissions for solid fuel stoves).
As the UK moves towards the decarbonisation of the electricity supply, demand for energy efficient electric space heating systems is in greater demand.
Replacement opportunities in the solid fuel stoves sector – around one thirds of stoves do not meet DEFRA standards for PM; around 5 million inefficient storage heaters 15+ years old.
With Covid-19 and trend towards home-working; energy efficient portables, fires, and stoves are increasingly used for day-time heating of the home.
Growing use of IoT smart heating controls in commercial buildings, to manage energy efficiency and support preventative maintenance measures.
Since of the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns, the level of online purchases has risen dramatically and remain high.
Growing importance of renewables; many new commercial projects specifying systems that use energy from renewable sources, including CHP district heating with commercial boilers.
