Commercial Water Heater Market Overview:

The commercial water heater is the equipment used to heat large volumes of water. It is capable of heating water at a faster pace by exhibiting a fast recovery time. A water heater is a closed vessel in which water is heated with the combustion of fuels and electricity to provide a continuous supply of hot water. The water is heated by a heat transfer process that uses electricity, solar, and oil as an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature.

The commercial water heater is equipped with a wide range of equipment such as a temperature valve, drain valve, pressure relief valve, thermostats, tank, and anode rod that heats potable water for purposes other than space heating. These heaters are designed for various applications such as corporate places, restaurants, institutes, and industries that require a larger amount of hot water. Furthermore, the growing demand for energy-efficient heaters for commercial applications is driving the market.

Commercial Water Heater Market Driver:

Rising Water Heating Installation in Public Areas and Buildings is Driving the Market

Growing demand for hot water in commercial buildings is associated with the building’s total energy consumption, which is significantly driving the market. Commercial buildings such as hotels, motels, offices, buildings with industrial processes, commercial laundries, dormitories, or other high-density housing facilities use water heaters to perform day-to-day activities effectively. Rising demand for hot water, especially from hospitality, travel, tourism, entertainment, and other industries, is driving the market. Moreover, growing customer interest in heating appliances and various initiatives for installing water heaters is projected to boost the market in the near future. For instance, in Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum invested US$ 8 billion for 750,000 square meters of solar thermal panels to promote the Energy Sustainability Strategy of 2019 to 2024. These solar thermal panels are dedicated explicitly to commercial water heating. Similarly, the government of Kuwait has already started using solar water heating in public complexes and buildings to reduce the import of natural gases and improve the reliability of electricity.

The electrification in complexes and buildings includes substituting electric technologies for water heating by the end uses. Solar heaters partially electrify industries in the commercial sector. These hybrid-heat commercial heating systems can automatically switch fuels depending upon their price and availability, which closely links this business with energy consumption and CO2 emission, which increases the use of highly efficient water heaters to reduce the environmental impact significantly. Rising environmental concern among consumers across the globe motivates market players to take significant steps to prevent global warming through their business operations and promote the adoption of energy-efficient and sustainable products. For instance, Rinnai Corporation is promoting to convert tank-less heaters in North America. The tank-less heaters are more efficient and ease the impact on the environment globally. Moreover, the company is also promoting the use of gas-powered heaters over electric-type heaters to support the rising demand for high-capacity and highly efficient gas heaters, which is positively supporting the expansion of commercial gas water heaters.

Commercial Water Heater Market Segmental Analysis:

Based on storage capacity, the market is segmented into below 500 liters, 500-1000 liters, 1000-3000 liters, 3000-4000 liters, and above 4000. The below 500 liters segment is projected to expand during the forecast period. Below 500 liters, the storage capacity of commercial water heaters is capable of recovering the large quantities of hot water required in a short duration of time. This type of storage tank capacity is commonly used in salons and SPAs, sports complexes, cafes for hot water, and commercial offices. Moreover, the low-cost availability and easy installation benefit provided by below 500-liter storage capacity-based commercial water heaters are driving the segment in the near future. This commercial water heater provides an ample amount of hot water, making it suitable for low hot water requirements in small commercial applications. Small commercial water heaters of below 500 liters capacity are highly demanded in the hospitality sector, especially in motels and holiday homes, to ensure the interruption-free availability of hot water for bathing, personal laundry, and other applications, thus driving the segment.

Commercial Water Heater Market Regional Analysis:

The Asia Pacific commercial water heater market was valued at US$ XX billion in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ XX billion by 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period. The market in Asia Pacific is expected to dominate in the near future owing to the growing usage of renewable energy and energy-efficient products among consumers. The presence of several leading players in the region such as A. O. Smith Corporation, Rinnai Corporation, Ariston Holding N.V., Rheem Manufacturing Company, DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, Ltd., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., and Bosch Thermotechnology Corp., is driving the market.
