The district heating market is expected to grow from USD 170.7 billion in 2018 to USD 203.0 billion by 2023, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% during the forecast period. Increasing demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective heating systems and growing urbanization and industrialization are the major factors driving the growth of the district heating market.
By heat source, natural gas to be largest contributor in district heating market during forecast period
Natural gas is used for district heating, space heating, and domestic hot water, as well as for cooking. This fuel can also be used in centralized systems for the production of comfort heating with absorption machines that use natural gas to create hot steam. It is used in majority of boilers during peak loads. The efficiencies are typically in the range of 97105% based on net calorific values. Moreover, with natural gas heat being easily produced, it is therefore used for backup capacity in district heating systems.
CHP plant accounts for largest market during forecast period
Combined heat and power (CHP) refers to the plant that is designed to generate power and heat in a single, integrated system. The heat that is normally wasted in conventional power generation plant is recovered as useful energy. Rejected heat is recovered to create steam or hot water to heat a surrounding network of buildings through a district heating system. By utilizing the thermal byproduct of electric production, CHP plants regularly see fuel efficiencies of 7085% or higher, which results in holding a major share of the district heating market.
Residential application accounts for largest market during forecast period
Residential applications include single-family houses and apartments (hotels, buildings, and multi-housing). The adoption of district heating in single-family houses is lower than that of apartments due to the cost-effectiveness of other heating options. In addition, the development of smart home applications play a major role in increasing the demand for district heating. The innovation and adoption of new techniques in smart homes have boosted the growth of this market, especially in developing countries.
APAC to grow at highest CAGR during forecast period
The district heating market in APAC is growing at the highest, and the same trend is expected to continue in the coming years. Dense population and growing per capita income in this region, along with government initiatives, are the major factors driving the growth of the market in this region. With increasing demand for thermal comfort, achieving energy efficiency, continuous increase in the number of households connected to district heating, and reducing greenhouse gas emission, the market for district heating is expected to rise in the coming years. Moreover, rapid urbanization in the country and government initiatives to adopt district heating systems is propelling the growth of the district heating market.
