The market is witnessing significant growth driven by the demand for energy-efficient heating solutions in residential and commercial buildings, coupled with the imperative to reduce carbon emissions and enhance building sustainability. Leveraging renewable energy sources and district heating systems, these units play a crucial role in regulating temperature and promoting energy conservation. With advanced features such as customized heat interface units, controllers, sensors, and valves, these systems ensure precise control and efficient operation. Safety measures like electrically and hydraulically safe connections bolster reliability, while advancements in heat exchangers and pumps optimize performance in both indirect and direct heating applications. From apartments to commercial and industrial settings, these units cater to diverse needs, driving the transition towards sustainable heating solutions. Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2023 as the base year and 2024 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market.
Installing gas boilers in individual dwellings in a multi-dwelling apartment complex includes various costs. However, installing a central boiler plant eliminates the need for connecting individual dwellings to gas lines, resulting in significant cost savings. HIUs only require a centralized boiler and hot water risers. Therefore, there is no need for a piping network running through the buildings; this results in reduced costs and brings down future costs for repair and maintenance.
Furthermore, the installation of HIUs is relatively easier than individual boilers and gas pipelines. Thus, it does not require trained and qualified installers and further saves costs. In addition, the absence of flue pipes also eliminates the need for ventilation routes. Therefore, the significant reduction in various costs associated with using HIUs will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
HIUs act as bridges between central heating systems and individual dwellings in multi-dwelling apartments. Different HIU manufacturers have launched smart control systems that provide full comfort to consumers while delivering vital information regarding system operation. These smart controls can also help users monitor, control, and regulate the system operations remotely over the Internet.
Moreover, some of the key benefits of using smart HIUs controls include aid in establishing 2-way communication, domestic hot water and heating set-points, providing extra comfort to users. Thus, the emergence of smart controls is expected to have a far-reaching impact on the demand for HIUs, which will positively impact the growth of the units market during the forecast period.
The central heating system in an apartment complex is connected to radiators that carry hot water used for space heating. As each radiator in a complex is reliant on one boiler, it causes heat loss because hot water from the boiler is passed through the central heating system. As water flows through each radiator, it experiences a significant temperature drop. When the hot water reaches the last radiator, it loses a considerable amount of heat.
Consequently, many rooms and dwellings do not attain the temperature of the boiler and are not heated appropriately. This shortcoming is expected to challenge the demand for centralized heating systems and HIUs, which may impede the growth of the global heat interface units market during the forecast period.
The indirect HIU segment will account for a major share of the market's growth during the forecast period.?Indirect HIUs are equipped with a plate heat exchanger that separates the primary and the secondary circuits and transfers energy from the fluid in the primary circuit to the fluid in the secondary circuit. These HIUs are the ideal choice for buildings where a separation between the primary and the secondary circuit is required. Indirect HIUs are highly popular and accounted for the largest share of the market in 2023, owing to the benefits of using them over their direct counterparts.

The indirect HIU segment was valued at USD 372.94 million in 2018. One of the key advantages of using indirect HIUs is that they separate the primary and secondary circuits. As a result, the circuits can be independently isolated for maintenance, and the water in both circuits can be cleaned separately. This minimizes the possibility of pipe bursts and other damages. The reduced possibility of pipe bursts and damages makes them safer for use, and this advantage will play a key role in driving the growth of the indirect HIUs segment of the global heat interface units market during the forecast period.
Based on application, the market has been segmented into industrial, commercial, and residential. The industrial?segment will account for the largest share of this segment.?Industries often require precise temperature control for various processes. HIUs can efficiently manage and distribute heat within industrial settings, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing operational costs. HIUs can be tailored to meet the specific needs of industrial applications, ensuring they deliver the required temperature and flow rates for different processes. Furthermore, industries such as manufacturing, chemical processing, food and beverage production, and others that rely on precise temperature control and efficient heat distribution are increasingly turning to HIUs to streamline their heating processes, which is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the market during the forecast period.
