Norway Air Source Heat Pump Market, By Process, By End Use, By Sales Channel, By Region, By Company, Forecast & Opportunities, 2018-2028F

The Norway air source heat pump market is driven by the rising awareness of renewable energy sources, less energy consumption, and government initiatives. A type of renewable energy technology known as an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) uses heat from the outside air to warm the house and heat water. Even at -15°C air temperatures, the pump extracts heat.

Although air-source heat pumps require power, their heat outweighs the electricity used. They are, therefore, an energy-efficient way to heat the house.

One of the quickest and safest ways to conserve energy and cut CO2 emissions today is through heat pumps. Replacing a boiler with a heat pump may result in more than 50% immediate energy savings.

Heat is transferred from an outdoor air source to a water-based system using air-to-water heat pumps. The heat produced can heat rooms or provide hot water for the entire home. One of the most effective types of air-source heat pumps available in the market is air-to-water heat pumps.

For maximum results, this kind of heat pump needs a temperate environment. Unlike dry and frigid climates where outdoor temperatures drop below -20°C, an air-to-water heat pump performs well at 7°C. Hence, the drop in temperature impacts operational efficiency.

Air-to-air heat pumps draw in outside air, which passes through a compressor to extract heat and then pump that heated air throughout the house. This technology can also be used in reverse to cool a home during the heat. It absorbs heat in one area and releases it in another using the principles of vapor compression refrigeration.

When comparing the amount of heat produced to the amount of electricity used, air-to-air heat pumps are considered the most efficient. The efficiency rate of a heat pump is calculated using a particular yield indicator called COP (Coefficient of Performance). An air-to-air heat pump can usually generate up to 4.5 times the energy it consumes.

Increasing Demand from Air-to-Air is Driving the Market Growth

In Norway, air-source heat pumps are prevalent. They exchange heat for heating and cooling by using the temperature of the surrounding air. Air-to-water heat pumps (AWHP) and air-to-air heat pumps are Norway's two most prevalent types of air-source heat pumps (AAHP). The yearly sales of heat pumps climbed from 65,000 in 2015 to 125,000 in 2021, according to NOVAP (Norwegian heat pump association). All different types of heat pumps were sold, but air-to-air heat pumps were by far the most common. Additionally, sales data reveals 36% more heat pumps sold in 2021 than in 2020. The historically high electricity rates, particularly in the last quarter of 2021, can be blamed for the sharp rise in sales statistics.

Product Enhancement Fuels the Market Growth

Researchers from the Norwegian Universities of Science and Technology (NTNU), SINTEF Energy Research, and ToCircle have created a new high-temperature heat pump that can generate temperatures up to 180°C (356°F) and is suited for many industrial operations. 20% of European industries that need temperatures between 100°C (212°F) and 180°C can use the new heat pump. The heat pump's compressor, created by the Norwegian company ToCircle, employs steam technology in a rotating vane machine. A compressor with vanes that revolve so that the compressor volume changes with each rotation. The researchers predict that the new technique, in addition to being able to generate very high temperatures, will reduce energy usage by 40 to 70% by utilizing the low-temperature waste heat that is easily accessible in many industrial manufacturing processes. These technological changes and constant product enhancement in the country are fueling the market as the demand from the industrial sector will increase in the forecast period.

High Upfront Cost May Hinder the Market Growth

A major obstacle hindering the market is the high upfront cost of air-source heat pumps. A gas boiler may cost around USD 520 to USD 1040 and can last up to 20 years. At the same time, air-to-air, which costs around USD 1,700 to USD3 400, is a comparatively cheaper option than air-to-water heat pumps, which can cost up to USD 15,500. Even though air-source heat pumps have less maintenance cost, consumers in Norway are still interested in gas boilers because the initial investment cost is low. Due to this, the demand for air-source heat pumps could be slow and hinder the market in the projected period.
