Residential Furnace Market Dynamics
Rising Rates of Home Renovations
Home renovations create opportunities for home owners to modernize their heating systems by installing new residential furnaces. In fact, given the volatility in global housing market and decline in new home sales in some developed markets, the majority of new residential furnace sales are occuring in home renovations. Rising rates of home renovations, especially in developed markets, where the average house age is more than 10 years, will be a key factor in driving market growth over the forecast period.
Increasing Development of Mixed-Use Residential Zones
Chronic housing shortages has become a major feature of the developed world. Housing growth over the previous two decades has been highly anaemic and coupled with other factors, such as rising immigration rates and fast-paced growth in house prices, has snowballed the issue into a major political controversy.
Therefore, in order to alleviate housing shortage and to ensure affordable housing for the public, many countries are embarking on the development of high-density mixed-use residential zones. The zones encapsulate new apartments with commercial and retail spaces, thus providing an enticing prospect to first-time home buyers.
The rising construction of high-density mixed-use residential zones within the city are expected to generate significant demand for centralized heating from residential furnaces. As this type of housing development becomes evermore popular, it will concurrently raise the demand for residential furnaces over the forecast period.
New Government Energy Efficiency Regulations
Governments are unveiling new efficiency regulations for energy-intensive appliances in a bid to increase sustainability. For example, U.S. government has introduced a mandatory 95% annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) standard on all new gas-powered residential furnaces sold from 2028. Furthermore, the European Union has also adopted energy efficiency rules for solid fuel heaters, which are likely to go into effect over the next few years.
The introduction of new energy efficiency rules will lead to an upward trend in residential furnace prices as manufacturers will pass on the increased costs of new efficient systems onto the consumers. With post-pandemic supply chain disruptions having already caused a significant price hike, new government efficiency standards are likely to have a detrimental effect on the sales of new residential furnaces over the medium term.
Residential Furnace Market Segment Analysis
The global residential furnace market is segmented based on type, heat source, design and region.
Economical Costs Makes Gas-Powered Residential Furnace Ideal for Most Consumers
Residential furnaces utilizing gas as a heat source are most popular among consumers. Ease of installation, usage, high heating efficiency and the ability to ensure heating in the coldest temperatures are some of the key factors driving its popularity. Furthermore, gas-powered residential furnaces have some of the longest operational lifespans, nearly 15 to 20 years.
However, gas-powered residential furnaces require a municipal piped gas supply to function effectively. Still, given the operational inefficiences of electric, oil and coal as heating sources, gas-powered residential furnaces are more in demand among consumers and are likely to remain so without major design and operational improvements in other types of residential heaters.
Residential Furnace Market Geographical Share
Consumers in North America Grapple With Increasing Prices
North America is expected to have the highest market growth during the forecast period. North America is a high per capita income region and is the primary source of demand for the global residential furnace industry. U.S. and Canada are the two countries within the region, which essentially generate all the demand for residential furnaces.
The North American market was highly fragmented, with a multitude of small, medium and large residential furnace manufacturers. However, over the last decade, the regional industry has undergone major consolidation, with multinational HVAC conglomerates such as Carrier and Johnson Control acquiring a host of smaller players. The consolidation has left consumers with reduced choices and has led to an increase in overall prices.
New energy efficiency requirements are likely to further increase the price burden on consumers. For instance, after U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) unveiled new energy efficiency regulations for residential furnaces in 2023, to be implemented five years later, manufacturers are likely to further raise prices to account for fitting of new technologies.
