The residential boiler is a hydroponic heating system that is used in various residential buildings for water heating. The boiler device converts chemical energy into thermal energy. It consists of the components like heating coils, radiators, or baseboards that help to heat the water and maintain the temperature of the tank. The boilers are widely used across different places in residential sectors, such as a house, farmhouses, public buildings, and other residential places. The boiler system has multiple advantages, like high reliability, less pollution, prolonged shelf-life, easy maintenance, etc.

A boiler usually is situated on the top of a burner which contains certain fuels such as coal to produce heat. In countries like the US, natural gas is commonly used which is transferred across residential homes through pipelines that are spread across the roads. Whereas in rural areas, propane gas is used inside a large tank containing propane gas is kept in the house yard. There are two types of boiler systems that are available in the commercials, condensing and non-condensing boilers.

Residential Boiler Market Growth Factors

Based on the historical records, the residential boiler market is likely to expand during the assessment period of 2025-2031. The increasing demand for heating boiler systems among residential sectors is estimated to propel the market. Along with that, the rapid urbanization and lifestyle preferences have shifted the customers toward residential heating systems, which is anticipated to increase the demand for heating equipment across residential sectors which will enhance the market growth.

Furthermore, the wide usage and construction of heating boiler systems across regions with harsher climate conditions is supposed to aid the market growth. The residential boiling systems are anticipated to grow at a high rate as a result of increasing preference.

As per the environmental concern regarding heat and pollution, the government promotes the adoption of environment-friendly residential boilers for sustainable living. This will ensure the reduction of the emission of harmful green gases.

Moreover, the rapid investments in research and development activities have led to the development of a modified version of boiler systems, driving the market growth.

Residential Boiler Market Segmentation

Market segmentation based on Type

Based on the type, the residential boiler market is bifurcated into a water tube, fire tube, and electric boiler. The fire tube boiler held the largest market share in 2021, the attributing factors are the increasing demand for tube boilers in case of space heating and water heating, widely used across residential places. Apart from that, the high demand for warm air and hot water in the cold regions of North America and Europe is expected to propel the market for the tube boiler segment in the forecast period.

Market segmentation based on Fuel Type

Based on fuel type, the residential boiler market is segmented as coal-fired, gas-fired, oil-fired, and others. Based on the revenue, the gas-fired segments held the largest market share accounting for 70.3% of the global share. The segment is further expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the rise in demand for heating boiler systems across different residential sectors. Along with the increasing demand, it has several advantages such as safe operation, comfortable system, cost-effectiveness, environment friendliness, energy saving capacity, etc.

Gas boilers are either fuelled with propane gas or natural gas with some modifications due to their characteristics. Natural gas is widely used in developed or developing regions, while propane gas is widely used in village areas where the furnaces are kept filled with propane gas across the yard of the house. The propane is transferred to the large tank via truck. The capacity of the large tank is around 500 gallons. As compared to natural gas, propane is a more expensive fuel.  On the other hand, natural gas boilers are widely used in industrial sectors and are constructed to tolerate high temperatures and thermal resistance.

Market segmentation based on Technology

Based on the technological aspect, the residential boiler market is segmented into condensing and non-condensing segments. The condensing segment has dominated the market in 2021 and is expected to have significant growth during the forecast period.  It is due to the rise in demand for heat-efficient and energy-efficient heating products that consume less amount of fuel. The other benefits contributing to this segment’s growth are carbon footprint reduction, high efficiency, acquiring less space, cost-effectiveness, etc.

Condensing boilers are widely used across different regions due to their high heating efficiency and minimal energy wastage capacity. Condensing boilers are the type of water heaters that are either fuelled by oil or gas. The fuel is burned and the gases are released and cross through the heat exchanger through which the water inside the container gets heated. Nowadays condensing systems are developed using advanced techniques which can fully replace conventional systems. These systems are widely used in regions like North America and Europe as central heating systems. However, the condensing boiler systems are referred to as less reliable than other boilers. Therefore, it is important to understand the proper function of the system to make it work efficiently.
