The New Zealand air source heat pump market size is anticipated to register an impressive CAGR during the forecast period. Heat pumps have evolved into the most energy-efficient electric heating/cooling systems available in New Zealand. The air source heat pump market is anticipated to project robust growth during the forecast period on account of factors such as the country’s high humidity levels, low carbon emissions, and low running costs. New product launches by various companies are a prominent trend that is expected to affect new product launches throughout the forecast period.

Heat pumps heat home by absorbing heat from the outside and transferring it inside. When it’s hot outdoors, it reverses direction and functions as an air conditioner, eliminating heat from the home. Heat pumps are an effective technique to heat a room in the winter. They typically take 10-20 minutes to bring a room to the ideal temperature and easily maintain it. Air source heat pumps are presently used by more than 25% of all New Zealand houses, making them the third most common heating system in the country.

Due to the high demand for air-source heat pumps in the country, heat pump manufacturers are prompted to offer new products. For instance, Mitsubishi Electric utilizes HyperCore Technology’ in their new air source heat pumps. When the temperature drops below 7 degrees, most standard heat pumps provide less heat. HyperCore Technology assures full effectiveness down to -15 degrees, making it an excellent performer in New Zealand’s colder temperatures. In contrast to other heat pumps, which are designed for functioning only in more temperate settings - and normally recommend having a backup option for when things become too rough - the HyperCore Technology is specifically engineered to deal with more extreme cold.

Increasing the Energy Efficiency of Air Source Heat Pump Will Fuel The Market Growth
Air source heat pumps are a particularly cost-effective alternative to standard electric heating alternatives since they transport heat rather than generate heat. The Energy Star rating assists in demonstrating the efficiency of the heat pump. For instance, the most energy-efficient heat pumps available in New Zealand are 250% efficient (they produce USD 1.55 of heat for every dollar of electricity consumed). The most efficient models available in the market are more than 500% efficient. They utilize external heat and cold to efficiently adjust the temperature of the house. As a result, they are 50% more cost-effective than gas heaters and consume 50% less energy than other electric heating and cooling systems. This is one of the major factors which is driving the market growth during the forecast period.

Increasing Humidity in New Zealand Will Boost the Market Growth
Heating, insulation, and ventilation are the three most important components which help maintain good indoor air quality. Unflued gas heaters emit carbon dioxide and fill the air with hazardous amounts of moisture. Without sufficient ventilation, this can be hazardous to customers’ health. Rainfall in New Zealand is rather significant, contributing to the country’s high humidity, which is concentrated primarily in North Island. For instance, the average annual humidity in Auckland is 82%. Air source heat pumps can dehumidify in cooling or "dry" modes, allowing them to combat excess moisture such as condensation and humidity. Thus, this acts as a driving factor for the air source heat pump market.

New Housing Projects By Government Will Fuel Market Growth
The growing preference for new homes in New Zealand, along with a growth in the number of construction projects, is boosting demand for air-source heat pumps across the country. In 2022 the government-initiated Mangere, which is a major housing project for Auckland, with the goal of replacing approximately 2,700 state housing units with up to 10,000 new healthy houses. Over the next 10-15 years, approximately 3,000 new state houses, as well as 3,500 affordable and 3,500 market homes, will be developed. These new homes and building projects are regarded as key market drivers since they promote the product throughout the country. The increasing demand for air-source heat pumps from builders is anticipated to further fuel the market growth during the forecast period.
