Market data
The European heat pump market broke a new record in 2022 according to data from 21 markets*, with around 3 million units sold.
Figures gathered by the European Heat Pump Association indicate growth of 39%, more than the previous year’s unprecedented rise of 34% in annual sales.
The total number of connected heating heat pumps (both air-to-air and ‘hydronic’ or water-based) and hot water heat pumps in Europe is now around 20 million.

These 20 million heat pumps are providing heating to about 16% of Europe’s residential and commercial buildings**.
Europe’s heat pump stock now avoids 52.5 Mt of CO2 – roughly equivalent to the annual emissions of Greece.
EHPA publishes all these figures and far more every year in its market report – see the contents page on the left.

To ensure Europe’s heat pump sector continues to grow and meets the EU’s targets, EHPA and the European Climate Foundation coordinated an initiative to look into the barriers and solutions, with input from over 20 other organisations.
The final document, entitled the ‘EU Heat Pump Accelerator‘, was handed over to EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson in June 2023.
The Accelerator will input into the the European Commission’s upcoming heat pump action plan, expected before the end of 2023.
