Asia Pacific Unit Heater Market Dynamics and Trends by 2028

The unit heater market in APAC is expected to grow from US$ 923.11 million in 2021 to US$ 1,462.08 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2021 to 2028.

Australia, China, India, Japan, and South Korea are major economies in APAC. Design and aesthetic appeal in heating systems have utmost importance in the electronics industry, such as, advancements in LED lighting, sensors, digitalization, remote control, advanced connectors, and other advanced technologies. The unit heater manufacturers focus on modularity, ease of use, quick access, and easy maintenance. The companies are focusing on integrating these features in the unit heaters to provide an intelligent management system. For instance, Robur offers a genius combined and dynamic design that can adjust and control up to 100 gas unit heaters. The user can access the system through the ModBus network connected to the PC. Manufacturers also focus on offering compact and modern designs, calendar systems, high-contrast and clear LED screens, thermostats, built-in temperature sensors, and valves with actuators. These small pieces of equipment are integrated with the unit heaters to provide a good design and aesthetic appeal for the unit heaters. The companies are also focusing on introducing unique designs of the fan blades, a tubular heat exchanger designed to enhance performance and reliability, self-diagnostic board with an LED display that improves troubleshooting efficiency and accuracy. Lennox designed a unit heater with heating capacities of 30,000–400,000 BTU/h for residential and commercial applications, the new product features LED display and sidewall venting. Thus, advancements in designs of unit heaters that complement the modern infrastructures are providing opportunities to the unit heater market players to expand their reach.

The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a substantial financial loss in the APAC region. The governments in Asia Pacific countries have taken several crucial steps to contain the spread of virus by imposing lockdown and physical distancing norms, which has negatively affected the manufacturing sector. In addition, China has significantly higher number of HVAC system manufacturers. The lockdown measures and physical distancing norms imposed by the Chinese government during Q1 has reflected huge fall in supply of HVAC systems, which ultimately resulted in decimation in revenue generation in the unit heater market in 2020. However, during later period of Q4 of 2020, the region experienced increase in adoption of unit heaters as infection rate were reduced and economic activities started to gain pace.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the unit heater market. The APAC unit heater market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
