Outdoor Heating Global Market Report 2026

Outdoor heating systems provide warmth to designated areas such as patios, outdoor kitchens, or gathering spaces. Available in various sizes, designs, and functionalities, these heaters are versatile to suit diverse settings. Increasingly popular as both functional and decorative elements in gardens, outdoor heaters are favored for keeping individuals warm during colder winter periods while complementing the outdoor ambiance.

Outdoor heating options encompass various types such as portable, standalone heaters, tabletop, and mountable units. Portable heaters are compact and lightweight, easily movable without being tethered by electric wires. They rely on fuel types such as electric, gas or propane, as well as wood and solid fuel. These heating solutions find application in diverse settings such as restaurant patios, rooftop decks, transit shelters, and public spaces, catering to both residential and commercial uses.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on outdoor heating have increased production and import costs for space heating equipment, particularly affecting commercial outdoor venues and residential buyers in regions dependent on imported heaters such as Europe and North America. These tariffs slow procurement cycles and raise retail prices, reducing short term adoption. However, they also encourage domestic manufacturing of energy efficient heaters, stimulate innovation in sustainable fuel technologies, and support diversification of the supply chain to reduce reliance on tariff exposed imports.

The positive correlation between the outdoor heating market's upward trajectory and the escalating disposable income is evident, as consumers increasingly allocate resources towards outdoor comfort solutions. As exemplified in December 2023 by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Commerce, disposable personal income (DPI) exhibited a simultaneous 0.4 percent increase in both current and chained dollars in November 2023.

Consequently, the upward trend in disposable income substantiates its role in propelling the growth of the outdoor heating market.

Key players in the outdoor heating market are strategically prioritizing product launches, notably introducing heat pumps as viable replacements for gas or oil boilers within household settings. A heat pump serves as a mechanical apparatus that transfers heat between locations, commonly extracting warmth from the external environment and channeling it indoors for heating purposes, or reversely for cooling needs. Illustratively, in August 2023, Daikin Industries Ltd., a prominent Japan-based multinational renowned for manufacturing air conditioners and refrigerants, unveiled the New Daikin Altherma 3 R MT heat pump. This particular pump stands out within the outdoor heating sector owing to its exceptional versatility and efficiency.

Collectively, these attributes position it as an invaluable solution for upgrading and modernizing residential heating systems, ensuring optimal comfort while promoting environmental sustainability across diverse residential settings.
