A heat pump water heater (HPWH) is a type of water heater that uses a heat pump to efficiently heat water. Unlike traditional water heaters that generate heat directly, such as electric or gas water heaters, a heat pump water heater moves heat from the surrounding air or ground to heat the water.
The market for heat pump water heaters is defined as the sum of revenues generated by global companies from the sale of heat pump water heaters. Two different types of heat pump water heaters are available—geothermal heat pump water heaters and air source heat pump water heaters. These heaters are available with different rated capacities, including up to 10 kW, 10–20 kW, 20–30 kW, 30–100 kW, 100–150 kW, and above 150 kW. These devices come with different storage tank capacities, namely, up to 500 liters, 500–1,000 liters, and above 1,000 liters. Heat pump water heaters are used by residential, commercial, and industrial end users. The regions considered for this market study include North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America.
