This Annual State of the Market 2021 report provides an assessment of how the European market developed in 2020, the current customer spend in connected home products, and the market prospects until 2023. 

High temperature heat pumps (HT HPs) are a developing branch of high performance HPs that can provide flow temperatures over 65ºC at high power outputs - qualities that could potentially compete with those of condensing gas boilers. HT HPs have been on the market for a while and a growing number of major HP players are developing and selling them.​

The market is not exactly booming but HT HPs generally receive good policy support and this, combined with their ease of retrofit, means some suppliers are beginning to grow sales in the oil boiler retrofit segment. But what about when it comes to gas? Are HT HPs also a threat to gas boiler retrofits? And if not right now, given the direction of travel of heat decarbonisation policy across Europe, surely it is only a matter of time until they will challenge for market share on-gas?​

This report details the key aspects of HT HP technology, explains their key drivers and barriers and provides high-level technoeconomic analysis for France, Germany and the UK to determine whether HT HPs are a threat to gas boiler retrofits.
