Executive Summary
The global tankless water heater market size was valued at $6.3 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $12.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2022 to 2031.Tankless water heater is a heating equipment that heats water by using electricity or gas as its energy sources. It is different from traditional or tanked water heaters as it does not store water and heats water as water passes through the heating units in a short time. There is a water flow sensor in tankless water heaters that starts automatically when it senses the water flow.
These water heaters have proved to be very useful in commercial as well as residential sectors, which, in turn, gives traction to the tankless water heater market growth globally. There are numerous advantages associated with tankless water heaters such as compactness, energy & cost saving, and efficiency. Hence, to improve global sales, manufacturers of tankless water heaters have developed new and innovative tankless water heaters, which are cost-effective in design.
Rise in demand for tankless water heater from residential consumers, rapid growth of smart city infrastructure, and rise in investment toward upgradation of aged government infrastructure are the key factors that significantly contribute toward the growth of the global tankless water heater market.
However, cost associated with additional heat exchanger in case of condensing tankless water heater is anticipated to hamper the growth of the tankless water heater market, globally. Conversely, rise in focus toward manufacturing of tankless electric water heater with safety awareness, enhanced quality, and energy efficiency is expected to create potential growth opportunity for key players operating in this market.
Depending on type, the condensing segment registered the highest tankless water heater market share of about 62.7% in 2021, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to rise in demand for condensing tankless water heaters from various end user applications including apartment buildings, nursing homes, hotels, and others. For the consumers with continuous demand for hot water, condensing tankless water heater is the best option owing to its capacity to provide more hot water as compared to non-condensing tankless water heaters, which in turn is anticipated to fuel the market growth in the coming years.
Depending on energy source, the electric segment registered the highest market share of about 56.7% in 2021, and is expected to maintain its dominance during tankless water heater market forecast period. This is attributed to rise in demand for hot water from various types of applications including residential, commercial, and industrial.
