In the European heating-system market, boiler-type heaters that rely on fossil fuel are rapidly being replaced with air-to-water heat pumps and water heaters in line with Europe’s decarbonization policies. In addition, the need for air conditioners has risen due to stay-at-home protocols implemented in response to the coronavirus. Going forward, demand for large room air conditioners, especially in the U.S., is expected to continue rising.
