Impact Analysis of COVID-19 on the Underfloor Heating Market

The global market for underfloor heating experienced average growth amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This average growth is the result of disruptions in the supply chain, construction activities, and the non-availability of migrant laborers. In addition to this, transportation disruptions had a significant impact on the supply chain, affecting the growth of the underfloor heating market. Moreover, government has strictly issued lockdown guidelines that have affected manufacturing activities and supply chains.

Global Underfloor Heating Market Analysis

Globally, governments are taking various measures to combat global warming. As a result, the demand for eco-friendly and energy-efficient products that use green energy sources is growing steadily. Typically, water underfloor heating systems are cheaper to run per square foot than electric systems. The water is heated via the main heat source in the home (e.g., gas boiler) and is typically cheaper than heating your home with radiators. Water flows through the pipes to warm the floor. Growing awareness among homeowners is driving the demand for the underfloor heating market from 2021 to 2028.

Most of the people prefer hydronic underfloor heating solution due to energy-efficient and eco-friendly attributes. However, the cost of installing water underfloor heating solution is high compared to electric underfloor heating. Such factors are expected to hinder growth of underfloor heating market.

Buildings are the largest consumer of energy in the world. As a result, governments of most countries have increased investment in green building to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. For instance, The European Commission has announced a Renovation Wave to improve building energy performance throughout the EU. The goal is to double renovation rates by 2030 and ensure energy and resource-efficient construction. Furthermore, the number of green buildings is steadily increasing in the EU. Underfloor heating solutions are energy-efficient and eco-friendly. Such factors are expected to provide growth opportunities for underfloor heating in the coming years.
