The Global Tankless Water Heater Market size is expected to reach $9.4 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 6.7% CAGR during the forecast period.
A tankless water heater is a type of heater that heats water using either gas or electricity as an energy source. It differs from conventional or tanked water heaters in that it heats water as it goes through the heating units quickly rather than storing it. The main factors boosting the growth of the tankless water heater market are an increase in infrastructure improvements, the replacement of conventional and tank-based water heaters along with modern tankless water heaters, as well as the deployment of smart water heaters. In addition, a greater emphasis on producing tankless electric water heaters with improved quality, safety awareness, and energy efficiency is anticipated to open up significant growth opportunities for major players in this market.
Tankless water heater use is anticipated to rise in the coming years as businesses introduce more advanced tankless water heaters. For instance, one of the top producers of commercial tankless water heaters and a leader in clean technology IoT, Intellihot Inc., introduced the Neuron Series of water heaters. These models have cellular Wi-Fi connectivity enabling remote flow and water temperature monitoring. These models also fit in existing water connections and are made for use in schools, restaurants, and hotels, which eliminates the need for re-piping and reduces installation time by half. The majority of the businesses that produce these kinds of heaters also offer extra features in some of their models.
Due to their ability to save space and energy, these heaters are likely to be adopted by residential as well as commercial sectors at a rapid rate throughout the coming years. Additionally, many tankless water heaters have energy star ratings, which make them cost-effective and environmentally good for consumers. Additionally, these devices typically cost more than a normal 40-gallon water heater, but they typically have longer warranty periods and last longer than the latter. Additionally, a tankless water heater can reduce the annual electric expenditure significantly. The storage tank is the most often used type of water heating technology in the residential market.
The market research report covers the analysis of key stake holders of the market. Key companies profiled in the report include A. O. Smith Corporation, Robert Bosch GmbH, Stiebel Eltron GmbH & Co. KG, Takagi Seiko Co., Ltd., Kyungdong Navien Co., Ltd., Noritz Corporation, Bradford White Corporation, EcoSmart Green Energy Products, Inc., Rinnai Corporation, and Rheem Manufacturing Company.

With the rapid diffusion of urbanization across people all over the world, the demand for more residencies is booming. In addition, a significant number of people are now shifting to urban areas. To fulfill their requirement, various governments are increasing their efforts in the construction sector. Due to all these aspects, the construction sector across the world is rapidly expanding. With the increasing growth of the construction industry, the demand for tankless water heaters is also expediting.Market Restraining Factors
Requirement For Frequent Maintenance
Maintenance is necessary for tankless water heaters at least once each year. Minerals accumulate inside the water heater over time, necessitating a system flush to avoid damage or a reduction in performance. Moreover, the user needs to flush the heater at least two times a year if it is deployed in an area with a hard water supply. Since the majority of warranties do not cover the damage from mineral build-up, this maintenance schedule is crucial to keep the device in a good condition. leaning the air filter as well as the water filter are examples of routine maintenance and care. Since they differ by model, it should also be considered that how frequently these heaters are needed to be cleaned.Type Outlook
Based on type, the tankless water heater market is segmented into Condensing and Non-Condensing. In 2021, the condensing segment acquired the largest revenue share of the tankless water heater market. This growth is attributed to the increase in the demand for condensing heaters across a variety of applications, including hotels, buildings, and other infrastructures.
