The portable electric heaters market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The portable electric heaters market has experienced strong growth in recent years. It will grow from $10.3 billion in 2024 to $10.99 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%.
The growth is attributed to increasing awareness of energy efficiency, rising urbanization, higher energy costs, improved safety awareness, and the growing use of portable electric heaters.
The portable electric heaters market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The portable electric heaters market is projected to reach $14.07 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.4%.
This growth is driven by factors like increasing disposable income, a higher demand for versatile heating solutions, environmental concerns, rising residential and commercial construction activities, and a shift towards smart and connected heating devices. Key trends include advancements in technology, new product development, the integration of smart features, and diversified heating technologies with remote control capabilities.
The escalating cognizance pertaining to energy effectiveness is predicted to bolster the expansion of the portable electric heaters market in the future. Energy efficiency is understood as the competency of a mechanism or instrument to execute its designed purpose with the least energy utilization, thereby cutting down on waste and cost. The rise in awareness regarding energy efficiency comes as a result of several aspects including environmental advantages, financial benefits, and correspondence with sustainability objectives. Portable electric heaters can be beneficial for energy efficiency if they are used mindfully to warm up specific regions or chambers, thereby reducing the total energy usage in comparison to heating up the whole house or workspace. For instance, data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based entity, in December 2022, demonstrated that worldwide investments in energy efficiency, such as architectural makeovers, mass transit, and electric auto infrastructures, hit USD 560 billion in 2022, reflecting a 16% hike in contrast to 2021. Initial reports from 2022 suggest a global improvement in energy efficiency by 2%, a speed that is almost four times quicker than the preceding two years and nearly twice as much as the previous five years. Hence, the escalating awareness pertaining to energy efficiency is fueling the growth of the portable electric heaters market.
