A commercial electric boiler is a heating system that utilizes electricity to produce steam or hot water for commercial buildings and industrial processes. It efficiently converts electrical energy into heat, offering a clean and reliable source of thermal energy. Its primary function is to provide consistent heating or steam for space heating, hot water, or process applications across various commercial and industrial environments.
The primary categories of commercial electric boilers include resistive element boilers, electrode boilers, and heat pump boilers. Resistive element boilers operate by using electric heating elements, similar to large electric heaters, to heat water or generate steam. They come in different capacities, such as up to 1 kilowatt (kW), 10-50 kilowatts (kW), 50-100 kilowatts (kW), and over 100 kilowatts (kW), and are sold through both direct and indirect sales channels. These boilers find widespread use in sectors like healthcare, education, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and more.
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 have impacted the commercial electric boiler market by increasing costs of imported heating elements, control panels, and power electronics. These higher costs have influenced adoption in healthcare, education, and industrial facilities, particularly in Europe and Asia Pacific. High capacity electrode and heat pump boilers are the most affected segments. At the same time, tariffs are encouraging regional manufacturing of electric heating systems.
The commercial electric boiler market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides commercial electric boiler market statistics, including the commercial electric boiler industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the commercial electric boiler market share, detailed commercial electric boiler market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the commercial electric boiler industry. This commercial electric boiler market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The commercial electric boiler market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.97 billion in 2025 to $2.17 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of commercial construction, demand for clean heating solutions, expansion of healthcare infrastructure, rising industrial steam demand, availability of stable electricity supply.
The commercial electric boiler market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.13 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to decarbonization of heating systems, growth of renewable electricity generation, stricter emissions regulations, expansion of district heating projects, rising fuel price volatility. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of zero emission heating systems, rising demand for electric boilers in commercial buildings, increasing use of heat pump integrated boilers, expansion of electric boilers in district heating, higher focus on high efficiency and rapid startup systems.
The rising demand for energy-efficient heating solutions is expected to drive growth in the commercial electric boiler market going forward. Energy-efficient heating solutions are technologies and systems designed to use less energy while maintaining the same level of heating comfort, thereby reducing energy consumption, lowering costs, and minimizing environmental impact. This increase is driven by growing regulatory pressure to cut carbon emissions. Commercial electric boilers support energy-efficient heating by providing clean, consistent heat with minimal energy loss, making them well-suited for modern commercial spaces. They reduce dependence on fossil fuels by using electricity, which aids sustainability goals and improves operational efficiency. For example, in September 2024, ElectricHomes, a UK-based electric heating provider, reported that the UK installed 36,799 air source heat pumps and 2,469 ground or water source heat pumps, bringing the total number of MCS-certified installations to 229,618 in 2023-a 20% increase compared to 2022. Thus, the growing demand for energy-efficient heating solutions is propelling the commercial electric boiler market.
Leading companies in the commercial electric boiler market are focusing on advanced products such as customizable cascade electric heaters to enhance energy efficiency, improve system scalability, and address diverse heating needs across applications. Customizable cascade electric heaters involve connecting multiple electric heating units (boilers) configured to operate sequentially based on demand. For example, in May 2024, Lochinvar, a US-based water heating solutions company, introduced the LECTRUS light commercial electric boiler, offering versatile, sustainable heating with advanced features like a smart system liquid crystal display (LCD) control platform, supporting electrification and decarbonization in various commercial settings.
In January 2024, Laars Heating Systems, a US-based boiler manufacturer, acquired Electro Industries Inc. for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Laars Heating Systems aims to expand its presence in the electric heating market, broaden its product range to meet rising electrification demands, and strengthen its U.S. manufacturing capabilities by integrating Electro Industries' expertise in electric boilers and heat pump technology. Electro Industries Inc. is a US-based company specializing in electric boiler manufacturing.
