HPA updates UK sales stats

UK: To mark Heat Pump Week, the Heat Pump Association (HPA) has published an update to its UK heat pump sales data to include a breakdown by heat pump type. 

The newly segmented data provides insight into factory-gate sales of air-to-water monobloc units, air-to-water split units, ground- and water-source units, and “other”, which includes domestic hot water heat pumps, exhaust air heat pumps and integrated hybrid heat pumps.

This marks a step forward in the detail and accuracy of the HPA’s online statistics resource, launched in April 2024. 

Dating back to 2019, the data reveals a steady growth of all types of heat pumps between 2019 and 2022 and the dominance of air-to-water monobloc units, which account for 79% of all sales.

“As we work to accelerate the deployment of heat pumps across the UK, it’s vital to gain a deeper understanding of the UK heat pump market,” said Olivia Smalley, the HPA’s head of policy and communications. “Providing this level of detail is a significant step towards greater transparency in the industry. Our members and stakeholders now have access to enhanced information to help them make more informed decisions, and this data will be vital in shaping targeted policies that drive growth and innovation across all heat pump technologies.”
