Recent Company Achievements
In 2025, Johnson Controls reported helping clients reduce heating costs by up to 53% and carbon emissions by 60% using their industrial-grade low-temperature heat pump technology. Meanwhile, Carrier Global launched its new Infinity® Cold Climate Series, engineered to deliver reliable performance in sub-zero environments with lower GWP refrigerants.
Market Trends and Policy Landscape
1. Electrification of Industrial Heat
Direct electrification of industrial heat-especially via heat pump systems-is accelerating globally. Studies indicate that widespread adoption could reduce industrial greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 5% by 2030 and 16% by 2050 compared to current trajectories. Industrial heat pumps deliver two to four times more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume, making them a critical technology for sustainable manufacturing.
2. Cold Climate and Wind Resistant Designs
The global cold climate air source heat pump market is expected to grow from roughly US$685 million in 2024 to over US$764 million in 2025, with a projected CAGR of over 11% through 2034. Manufacturers are innovating to ensure performance in sub zero conditions, developing units capable of reliable operation down to -35 °C and incorporating enhanced defrost cycles and variable speed inverters. Wind resistant designs are emerging as a response to efficiency losses during strong, cold winds.
3. Impact of Extreme Weather
Climate change is creating new operational challenges for heat pumps. Extreme cold and wind can reduce efficiency and extend defrost cycles. Next generation systems aim to mitigate these losses with improved coil design, sensor networks, and automatic airflow control, ensuring reliable industrial performance even during severe winter conditions.
4. European Policy Momentum and the Clean Heat Manifesto
In May 2025, nearly 20 leading companies released the "Clean Heat Europe" manifesto, advocating for stable, supportive policy frameworks to accelerate industrial decarbonization. This aligns with the EU's energy transition strategy, which targets 10 million new heat pump installations by 2027 and up to 60 million by 2030. These initiatives are supported by programs like the Heat Pump Accelerator Platform, which addresses workforce training and regulatory alignment to sustain deployment.
5. Market Dynamics and Mixed Signals
Despite policy support, European heat pump installations saw a 21-23% decline in 2024 compared to the previous year, returning to pre Ukraine war levels. Declines were notable in Germany and France, while the UK experienced a 63% increase in sales. This highlights the importance of stable subsidy schemes and cost competitiveness to maintain long term growth in the sector.
6. Toward a Robust Clean Heat Future
Overall, the market is transitioning from niche adoption to mainstream deployment in industrial applications. Continued innovation in extreme climate design, policy alignment, and large scale industrial retrofits will define the sector's ability to meet its decarbonization and energy efficiency potential through 2030 and beyond.
