Summary of our market study

The French boiler market varies between 550,00 and 750,000 boilers

The global boiler market, estimated at over $96 billion, is expected to grow by 7.5% a year.

In the French market, gas- and oil-fired condensing boilers dominate.

France's trade balance for boilers remains largely in deficit, with a coverage rate of less than 5%.

The main French players are Saunier Duval, Société Industrielle de Chauffage and Sermeta.

Heating equipment market trends and key figures

As part of the ecological transition, there has been a major shift towards eliminating oil-fired boilers and encouraging the adoption of renewable energy equipment and heat pumps.

France has between 40 and 50 manufacturers specializing in central heating radiators and boilers. Employment in this sector is around 4,000.

Wood-fired boilers have grown steadily, from over 9,000 units to around 45,000 units by 2022. Pellet-fired boilers in particular have seen significant growth in recent years. The gas and oil boiler sector is undergoing a transition from standard to condensing boilers, with the latter increasing from 145,000 units to 510,000 units by 2020.

The government is offering energy renovation incentives to encourage the replacement of less efficient, polluting heating systems with greener alternatives such as biomass boilers.

Summary and extracts

1 Market overview

1.1 Market overview and definition

The boiler market is part of the HVAC engineering category. HVAC engineering is a business with a strong focus on sustainable development and energy savings, since its aim is to develop solutions for regulating the temperature of business premises or homes. Because of the stakes involved, HVAC engineering, and therefore the boiler segment, is linked to renewable energies (solar, biomass, condensing boilers, biogas, etc.).

The market is largely influenced by growing ecological concerns, as well as the ever-increasing cost of energy to heat homes. The sector is also largely dependent on the public sphere and policies that can stimulate the use of more environmentally-friendly energy solutions.

Gas and oil condensing boilers are driving sales in the domestic market. By 2022, however, sales are set to decline, not least because of this particular segment.

In terms of foreign trade, France is largely in deficit, and this deficit is widening all the time (the coverage rate has fallen below 5%).

France's boiler market is also increasingly influenced by government measures to promote energy-efficiency renovations, which are steering the boiler market towards new product forms (notably high-performance boilers and biomass boilers). As a result, certain segments of the market could disappear altogether in the next decade, forcing players to reshape the structure of the market and renew their offering and positioning.

Innovation therefore represents a real growth driver for the market. with a renewed, ever more connected and intelligent offering, boilers should be able to manage energy consumption levels even more precisely and appropriately, an economic as well as an ecological advantage.
