Mordor Intelligence has published a new report on the European HVAC equipment market, offering a comprehensive analysis of trends, growth drivers, and future projections
European HVAC Equipment Market Outlook
According to Mordor Intelligence, the European HVAC equipment market is estimated at USD 32.29 billion in 2026, increasing from USD 30.45 billion in 2025, and is projected to reach USD 43.32 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 6.05% during the forecast period.
Another factor supporting the European HVAC equipment market forecast is the gradual replacement of aging boilers across residential and commercial buildings. Many European homes and institutions rely on older heating infrastructure that is now reaching the replacement stage. As energy prices fluctuate and efficiency regulations tighten, building owners are looking for modern HVAC solutions that can handle both heating and cooling needs. At the same time, the region’s diverse climate conditions are expanding equipment demand beyond traditional heating systems. Rising summer temperatures in several European countries are increasing interest in cooling equipment, further contributing to the market share of air-conditioning and ventilation solutions.
Growth Drivers Shaping the European HVAC Equipment Market
Policy Support and Efficiency Regulations
Government policies focused on decarbonization are playing a major role in shaping the European HVAC equipment market share. Energy efficiency mandates introduced across European countries encourage building owners to adopt systems that consume less energy while maintaining indoor comfort. Public funding programs and incentive schemes supporting heat pump installations have also influenced purchasing decisions. These initiatives are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving the efficiency of residential and commercial buildings. As a result, manufacturers are expanding their product portfolios to include systems compatible with electrified heating infrastructure.
Replacement of Aging Heating Systems
Another important driver of European HVAC equipment market growth is the ongoing replacement of legacy heating systems. A large number of boilers installed in European buildings are approaching the end of their service life. Rising energy costs and stricter emissions standards are encouraging property owners to upgrade to modern HVAC equipment. Heat pumps designed for retrofit installations have gained attention because they can integrate with existing heating circuits. This reduces installation complexity and allows contractors to complete upgrades more efficiently. As retrofit activity continues, the industry is expected to see sustained equipment demand.
Rising Cooling Demand in Residential Buildings
Changing climate patterns are also influencing market trends. Warmer summers across several parts of Europe have increased the need for residential cooling equipment. Countries that traditionally relied primarily on heating systems are now witnessing higher adoption of air-conditioning and ventilation technologies. Dual-purpose heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling functions are gaining interest among homeowners. These systems improve annual utilization and offer flexibility in regions with varying seasonal temperatures. This trend is strengthening the position of cooling equipment within the European HVAC equipment market share.
Electrification in Commercial and Institutional Buildings
Commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and institutional facilities are gradually adopting electrified HVAC systems. Many organizations have sustainability goals that encourage the transition toward efficient heating and cooling equipment. Integrated HVAC systems that combine heat pumps with ventilation technologies are being used in retrofit projects across public infrastructure. These installations often deliver significant energy savings, making them attractive for long-term building management strategies. As institutional retrofits continue, they will remain an important contributor to the European HVAC equipment market forecast.
