Water heater market competitive, Air energy was efficient and great potential

Since 2012, affected by the economic downturn, the real estate regulation and other factors, China's water heater industry growth is slowing down. Among them, the solar water heater market decline is particularly evident. However, the Jiangcheng several major appliance stores responsible person said, the water heater was first included in the scope of subsidies, will play a positive role in promoting the development of the industry, and the trend of home appliances consumption upgrade will be continue. Appliance experts believe that the future water heaters industrial transformation and upgrading will be reflected in two aspects: First, industrial resources concentrated on large enterprises, industry concentration will improve; Second, the share of energy efficient products was greatly enhanced.

Water heater market, fierce competition

All along, the water heater market is electric water heaters, gas water heaters and solar water heater three pillars, however, with the development and utilization of new energy, the air to water heater (heat pump water heater) with energy-saving advantages was turned out, so, the market rivalry become four kings.

In recent years, solar water heaters hold the largest percentage of the market share, electric water heaters and gas water heater are followed, air to water heaters take up less proportion. After the development in recent years, brand concentration of water heater industry is rising.

The reporter learned from industrial appliances, Wuhan Suning, Wuhan Gome appliance store, as consumers increasing attention of water heater security, energy saving, the low price is no longer the biggest factor to attract consumers to buy products. The implementation of "Energy-saving Huimin" policy, bring a broader market space to the air to water heater companies that won the bid. The solar water heater market is unable to avoid the impact of the overall economic contraction, rural as a major retail market, the promotion of home appliances to the countryside has been overdrawn large part of purchasing power.

Appliance experts said, to water heater manufacturers, how to seize the opportunity to make good use of the policy is also a challenge, companies need to further strengthen technological innovation and cost control, to accelerate the pace of product replacement, let its own position in the industry has been increasing.

Air to water heaters: energy efficient, large market potential

According to the data of the heat pump Industry Alliance, 2012 China air heat pump water heater market sales of nearly 50 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth of 45%. Despite the rapid growth in sales, its market share is still less than 5%.

With last year's “Implementation details of projects that benefit the promotion of energy-efficient heat pump water heater” are officially released, air to water heaters are first gained the National subsidies. Many manufacturers have said that, the air source heat pump water heater has the advantages of safety, energy conservation, environmental protection, convenient, is likely to break the pattern of gas, electricity, solar energy, "three pillars".

In recent years, many areas of business beginning to participate in the production and manufacturing of air energy products, but product quality is good and bad. Industry analysis, in the next few years, the air to the water heater will reach an outbreak period. But the threshold of air to the water heater subsidies is high, enterprises can only through quality upgrades to improve the competitiveness of their products and win market share.
