Global geothermal heat pump market growth is driven  by rising electricity and oil prices. The global geothermal heat pumps market is expected  to have a 13.1% compound annual growth rate   from 2014 to 2020, reaching USD 130.5 billion by  the end of 2020, says new market research report from Transparency Market Research.


According to the report, rising electricity and oil prices are shifting consumer preference towards cost-effective  energy substitutes. The highly reliable nature of the  system and easy financial options for consumers are  fuelling demand for geothermal heat pumps. On the  other hand, faulty installations and wrong estimation  of pump size are factors curbing global demand.


North America and Europe lead the global geothermal  heat pump market, the report also says. European  countries such as France, Germany, Sweden, and  Switzerland are mature markets, having experienced  a steady decline in installed capacity in the last few years.
