The Middle East conflict has led to a surge in demand for heat pump heating in Europe
Ask AI · How will the surge in China’s heat pump exports and the EU’s new legislation change cooperation models?
【Middle East War Causes European Heat Pump Heating Demand to Surge】Cailian Press, April 4 — This February, China’s heat pump exports to Europe surged sharply. The Middle East war has caused energy prices to skyrocket, further boosting European heat pump demand, while the EU Industrial Accelerator Act will shift the model from pure export to a cooperation model. Analysts say that from January to February 2026, China’s heat pump export value increased by over 50% year-on-year, with February exports rising 81.8% to 930 million yuan, mainly to the European market. The Middle East war has caused oil and natural gas prices to soar nearly a month, which will further drive European heat pump demand. Industry insiders say that if Chinese companies solely expand into the European market through exports in the future, they will be affected. It is expected that some European boiler companies will launch heat pump projects, while Chinese companies still need to strengthen their domestic brands and channels. (First Financial)
