Additionally, it includes a forecast summary of the proportion of homes that will have heat pumps installed globally in 2029." Quote: "The UK is already behind in terms of heat pump adoption compared to the rest of the globe, thanks in no small part to an inferior workforce of trained professionals,..." Quote: "The total number of households that have a heat pump system installed globally is anticipated to grow by 35% from 2025 to 2029, reaching a total of 238.1 million homes in 2029. This compares with 177 million in 2025, which represents only 7% of homes. Growth is being driven primarily by regulatory interventions, such as the CHMM in the UK which instructs boiler manufacturers to have a minimum percentage of their revenue come from heat pump sales. Despite this, massive challenges remain for heat pump adoption. The high cost of installation, a clear lack of trained heat pump experts, and a lack of suitability for apartments will restrict acceptance beyond early adopters. ... Due to the difficulties in retrofitting heat pumps in space-constrained apartments, fitting monobloc systems should be a key priority to generate growth."]
