Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from unit volumes: annual shipments of qualifying HVAC equipment, water-conservation and treatment systems, and the smart-control add-ons layered onto them, each carried at its realized average selling price by region and building type (residential versus non-residential). New-construction volumes are drawn from building-permit and starts data, and retrofit volumes are modeled from the installed base's replacement cycle. The resulting revenue build is then checked against disclosed segment revenue from equipment manufacturers with material HVAC or water-solutions lines. Where the two disagreed, most often because a bottom-up shipment estimate ran ahead of a company's stated growth, the unit-volume or price assumption was corrected instead of the two figures being averaged.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interview targets are the roles that actually decide a purchase or a specification: HVAC and water-system product managers at manufacturers, procurement leads at large commercial and institutional property owners, distributor and dealer principals who see order volume before it reaches an income statement, and the utility and program administrators who set rebate and incentive terms. Installer and contractor principals are included for retrofit timing and installed-base condition, since they see replacement decisions before those decisions appear in shipment data. Sampling weights North America and Europe, where incentive programs are most developed and disclosure is richest, with a smaller allocation to Asia Pacific to capture manufacturing-side volume and pricing.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on national building-permit and housing-start registers for new-construction volume, ENERGY STAR and equivalent efficiency-certification registries for qualifying-product counts, and customs codes covering heat pumps and water-treatment equipment, HS headings 8418 and 8421, for cross-border shipment checks. Utility rebate program filings and state or national energy-efficiency agency reports supply incentive-program spend and uptake by region. Trade-association shipment benchmarks, where published, are used to sanity-check unit volumes against the bottom-up build, and manufacturer annual-report segment disclosures anchor the top-down check described above.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast carries forward the replacement-cycle model used for retrofit volume, adjusted for the specific incentive and mandate timelines already legislated in major markets instead of assumed to continue indefinitely; where a program has a stated expiry, volume tapers toward it rather than holding flat. New-construction volume is tied to independently forecast housing and commercial floor-space starts. Realized price is held to decline modestly in real terms as heat-pump and water-treatment manufacturing scales, consistent with the pattern already visible in the historical price series. The forecast holds only if legislated incentive programs are not withdrawn early and energy prices do not fall sharply enough to lengthen replacement paybacks.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Historical output was back-tested against the recorded 2020-2024 growth path by segment and region before the forecast was extended, confirming the model reproduces the acceleration already visible after 2022 without needing a separate adjustment. Segment-share shifts, particularly the move toward heat-pump-based HVAC and away from conventional systems, were reviewed against the qualifying-product registries used in secondary research instead of accepted from the bottom-up build alone. Sensitivities were run on realized price and on the pace of incentive-program tapering, the two inputs most likely to move the outcome, and the resulting range is reflected in the bull and bear scenarios instead of in the base case itself.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest in non-residential HVAC and in regions with mature efficiency-rebate reporting, where certified-product registries and utility filings give a direct read on volume. It is thinner in the Others category and in residential retrofit outside North America and Europe, where adoption is real but reporting is inconsistent and the installed base is estimated instead of counted. The main risk to the estimate is an early withdrawal or renegotiation of incentive programs currently assumed to run their legislated course, which would slow retrofit volume faster than the base case allows.
