Steam & Air Contitioning Supply in France - Market Research Report (2014-2029)

Steam and air conditioning supply in Europe’s revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 0.3% to €79.8 billion over the five years through 2024. Private households use heating and cooling primarily for indoor heating and air conditioning, while commercial customers also use steam, hot and chilled water and cooled air to support production processes and as input factors. Revenue depends on the supply needs of residential and commercial customers, which is largely dictated by the weather. A hotter summer can hike demand for air conditioning, while colder winters encourage people to pop the heating on. Urbanisation levels, demand from the manufacturing sector and the number of households connected to district heating and cooling networks all send waves through demand. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has had a major impact on the industry as it sent the price of natural gas – a key energy source for heating and cooling – soaring since many European companies were cut off from their key Russian suppliers. Industry revenue is rising by an estimated 0.7% in 2024 as the supply of gas alternatives has improved, easing commodity markets.

欧洲的蒸汽及空调供应收入预计将在2024年之前的五年内以0.3%的复合年增长率收缩，达到798亿欧元。私人家庭主要将供暖和空调用于室内供暖和空调，而商业客户亦使用蒸汽、热水、冷水及冷却空气以支持生产流程，并作为输入因素。收入取决于住宅和商业客户的供应需求，这主要受天气影响。炎热的夏季可能推高空调需求，而寒冷的冬季则促使人们开启供暖。城市化水平、制造业的需求以及接入区域供暖和冷却网络的户数均对需求产生波动。俄罗斯与乌克兰的冲突对行业产生了重大影响，因为它导致天然气——供暖和冷却的关键能源来源——价格飙升，许多欧洲公司因此被切断了其关键的俄罗斯供应商。随着替代气体供应的改善，预计2024年行业收入将增长0.7%，从而缓解了商品市场的压力。
