Le marché des pompes à chaleur en Italie

En 2014, le marché des pompes à chaleur air-air réversibles a connu un déclin brutal (- 16 %).

In 2014, the market for reversible air/air heat pumps experienced a sharp decrease (-16%). Specifically, single-split units with a capacity <7 kW were sold less (-17%). Besides the economic situation it was the weather that led to hard market conditions – the summer 2014 was particularly cold and rainy.
 Positive values (3%), on the other hand, could be observed for the single-split air conditioners with a capacity >7 kW. This development reflects the economic performance of the small commercial sector (shops and small offices) in Italy. Multi-split systems showed a hefty decline of -19%.

The market for mini VRF (<16 kW) – a type mainly used among small businesses - declined by 4%. The sales for the bigger (>16 kW) VRF systems – a growth segment until two years ago – decreased by 2%, suffering from the economic stagnation of the construction industry for commercial use.
 
Marks a good increase in the segment groups chillers (+9%) for air-cooled units and (20%) for water cooled. Chillers up to 100 kW performed particularly well, especially air cooled systems, which are used primarily for residential and / or small business where heat pumps find increasing recognition.
