Introduction

Instant water heaters, which are also called inline, tankless, or instant-on water heaters, are the type of water heaters that can instantly heat water without storing it internally, in the device. High thermal conductivity is one of the major advantages of instant water heaters, and copper heat exchangers are used in most designs of instant water heaters.

The operation of some instant water heaters can be controlled with a variable power output level. A high-efficiency condensing instant water heaters are gaining popularity among consumers across the world. Owing to the numerous advantages of instant water heaters, such as compactness and water and energy saving, leading manufacturers in the instant water heaters market are introducing innovative and more cost-effective designs of instant water heaters to improve sales in the upcoming years.

Consumers Willing Live a Low-carbon Lifestyle Drives Growth of Instant Water Heater Market

Increasing environmental concerns among consumers and government initiatives are among the major factors that are encouraging home appliance manufacturers to introduce more sustainable devices. The energy-efficiency of the appliance continues to remain one of the primary factors to influence purchasing decisions of consumers, thereby triggering growth of the instant water heater market.

Instant water heaters consumer much lesser amount of energy than conventional water heaters, which remains one of the major advantages of instant water heaters. Consumers are preferring to purchase instant water heaters with high energy factor (EF) and lower carbon footprint, and this is likely to continue boosting growth of the instant water heater market in the upcoming years.

Inclination Toward Solar Water Heating Systems may Limit Sales of Instant Water Heaters

Despite the growing demand for instant water heaters due to their energy-efficient features, consumers are looking for water heating systems that can save more energy and resources that instant water heaters. As solar water heaters use solar energy to heat water, they save much more resources than electric or gas instant water heating systems. Consumer awareness about the benefits of reusable energy sources is encouraging them to choose solar water heaters over instant water heaters, which run on conventional energy sources.

In addition, government subsidies and incentives on solar water heating systems are boosting their adoption, in turn, creating challenges for players in the instant water heater market. In 2016, the United Nations (UN) mandated the use of solar water heaters under its solar housing program for new buildings across the world. According to the UN, the global investments in renewable energy was twice higher than that is conventional energy (gas or coal power stations), in 2015.

Consumers’ inclination towards solar water heaters is likely to create challenges for manufacturers and other stakeholders in the instant water heater market in the upcoming years.
