Analysis by the European Heat Pump Association says 2.88 million heat pumps were sold across 21 European countries last year, enough to replace 2.5 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas.
Heat pump sales across 21 European countries rose 13% year-on-year in 2025, reaching 2.88 million, according to the latest analysis by the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA).
The figure is an improvement on the 2.56 million sold in 2024 but remains down on the record 3.31 million from 2022 and 3.19 million in 2023. Similarly to last year, air-to-air heat pumps were the most commonly sold, followed by air-to-water.
EHPA’s 2026 market report features 2025 sales data from Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Norway and Switzerland, as well as 2024 data from Ireland, Hungary and Estonia, where sales have been presumed flat year-on-year.
EHPA says the 2.9 million new heat pumps replace 2.5 billion cubic meters (bcm) of liquefied natural gas (LNG), equivalent to around 24% of the EU’s imports from the Middle East.
