Saudi heat pump market set for strong growth by 2025

Saudi Arabia's heat pump market is poised for solid growth in the next six years with its revenues projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5 percent by 2025, said a report by 6Wresearch.

The diversification of the economy along with growing hospitality and healthcare sectors would drive the Kingdom's heat pump market, stated 6Wresearch in its new report titled "Saudi Arabia Heat Pump Market (2019-2025)."

The report estimates and forecasts the overall Saudi Arabia heat pump market by revenue, pump types, applications, rated capacities and regions.

Moreover, immunisation of non-oil sectors would lead to equitable growth in multiple sub-sectors of the economy in the country which would also propel the heat pump market in the country during 2019-25.

Upcoming commercial sector projects such as Red Sea beach resort in the hospitality segment and King Faisal Medical City in Abha in healthcare segment are expected to increase the medical as well as leisure tourist footfall in the country, thus, boosting the growth of construction, healthcare and hospitality industries across different regions of the country, said the report.

“An important component of Vision 2030 is the National Renewable Energy Programme which is a long term and multifaceted strategy, designed to bring balance in domestic power mix in order to deliver long term economic stability to the country," Kanchan Negi, the research analyst, research and consulting, 6Wresearch, said.

"As a result of these government initiatives, several heat pump manufacturing companies are bringing new technologies in their product portfolio such as combination of heat pump with thermal solar panel to make their product more environment friendly and energy efficient," he added.

"Further, change in government policies for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (Seer) rating would result in replacement of old and technically outdated heat pumps. Hence, this would increase the demand for lower rated heat pumps during the forecast period," Apoorva Sawhney, research associate, Research and Consulting, 6Wresearch, said.
