Synthèse
The heating market has undergone significant transformation since 2020, against a backdrop of energy crisis and inflation concerns. EU households continue to have heating and hot water as their predominant energy consumers, accounting for 79% of total final energy consumption, with a notable 23% of heating and cooling in the sector produced from renewable energies. On the French market, sales of installation work for heating and air-conditioning equipment exceed 20 billion euros in 2021, indicating stability despite a drop in the number of manufacturing plants from 64 in 2011 to 48 in 2022.
The renewable heat sector, notably wood energy and aerothermal heat pumps, is booming. Consumers are clearly moving towards energy-saving measures.
The French market is strongly oriented towards electric and gas heating for private homes, and natural gas, electricity and fuel oil remain the main energy sources for heating needs in the tertiary sector. The manufacturing, distribution and installation sectors reflect these trends, with notable growth in installations.
Manufacturers like Groupe Muller and Atlantic lead the market, while retailers like Leroy Merlin and installers like Idex are key players. Connected heating solutions are gaining ground, with installation costs ranging from around 150 euros for basic packages to over 1,000 euros for sophisticated models.
Regulations such as RT2012 and the Ecodesign Directive, as well as economic incentives such as Fonds chaleur and MPrimeRenov', are encouraging reduced consumption and the adoption of renewable energies.Trends and movements in the French heating market.
The French heating market is undergoing a significant transformation, characterized by increased attention to ecological considerations and the introduction of renewable heating options.
This evolution is a response to growing consumer awareness of the environment and the influence of an energy crisis associated with inflation rates approaching 7% by 2022. While French consumers are increasingly cost-conscious, the trend remains towards energy efficiency and ecologically sustainable heating solutions. The wood industry generates sales of between 4 and 5 billion euros, aerothermal heat pumps reach around 6 billion euros, and the solar heat sector generates sales of over 1 billion euros. The geothermal energy market is also very active, with sales of around 280 million euros.
These figures underline the considerable interest in renewable heating solutions, which also reflects the many job opportunities in these sectors. Data on household heating consumption show that heating accounts for between 60 and 65% of household energy expenditure, with a drop of around 5 to 10 percentage points since 2000. Electricity and gas remain the two main sources of domestic heating, with fuel oil next in terms of prevalence of use. The data suggest a decreasing reliance on traditional heating sources and a move towards more sustainable options.
Heating consumption in the commercial sector showed a slight decline, partly due to the 2020 health crisis which had an impact on business activities. However, there appears to be a structural decline in overall consumption and a gradual interest in renewable heating sources in the tertiary sector. French society is clearly increasingly aware of the importance of energy, with 90% expressing concern about energy and heating consumption. Despite this growing concern, a significant number of people do not adjust heating temperatures at night to save energy.
In terms of production, the French landscape includes a variety of manufacturers specializing in different types of heating solutions, which show a stable trend despite a decline in the number of manufacturing establishments. In the wholesale and installation sectors, there was a rebound in the number of establishments after 2014, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the market. Major market players include groups such as Muller, De'Longhi and Atlantic, each holding around 13% of radiator sales, underlining the competitiveness and diversity of the market. Retailers and installers also play a vital role, with professionals the preferred resource for consumers seeking advice and installation services.
With their emphasis on sustainable development, French regulations and economic incentives are steering the market towards low-energy and renewable-energy solutions.

1 Market overview
1.1 Market overview and definition
The heating market covers all devices designed to produce and transmit heat for thermal comfort or industrial purposes.
There are different types of heating energy:
- wood-fired ;
- gas-fired ;
- fuel oil ;
- pellet ;
- electricity.
The types of heating used vary according to geographical area, but also according to end-user: for example, heating consumption in the tertiary sector is clearly distinct from that of households. Within French households, habits vary. Although price often remains a key criterion, there is a growing focus on ecological issues.
There are many players in the market: heating system manufacturers, distributors and installers. They offer a wide variety of products: heat pumps, gas boilers, oil boilers, pellet boilers, wood pellet stoves and electric radiators. In addition, a renewable heating offer is emerging to meet a demand that is increasingly concerned about the environment.
The French radiator manufacturing market is stable overall, while the value of radiator installation work is rising. Generally speaking, the heating market is on the rise, and the range of heaters on offer is diversifying to make way for new, more environmentally-friendly and ergonomic products.
