Overview of the geysers market
Extensive research carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the global geysers market to grow impressively at a CAGR of more than 8% over the forecast period. With the increasing demand for tankless geysers, the geysers market is anticipated to have a positive outlook in the coming years. Based on energy consumption, tankless geysers are categorized into electric tankless geysers and gas tankless geysers. Tankless geysers are heavy burners and quickly heats water flowing through a heat exchanger. As a result, these devices were found to be 22% more energy efficient in laboratory tests than gas-powered storage-tank models. A typical electric-resistance tankless geyser with an energy factor of 0.99 consumes approximately 4,435 kilowatt-hours per year which translates into nearly 9% energy savings in comparison to a 50-gallon electric-resistance storage geyser with an energy factor of 0.90. Moreover, the tankless geyser market is gaining traction in North America as technical advancements over the last few years have boosted the capacity of such geysers up to 3.5 gallons per minute.
One of the emerging trends spurring the growth prospects of this market is the augmented demand for hybrid geysers. Hybrid geysers combine the technology of tank and conventional tankless geysers resulting in less overall energy consumption. For example, A. O. Smith introduced its hybrid model, Vertex Power-Vent Gas Water Heater, which is a hybrid geyser that operates at a 90% efficiency. Therefore, the energy saving properties of hybrid geyser will lead to its increased adoption over the next four years.
