Hydronic radiators are heating systems that transfer heat by circulating hot water or steam from a central boiler through pipes to radiators located in different rooms. These radiators then warm the air using a combination of radiation and convection. Known for their energy efficiency, quiet operation, and consistent heat delivery, they are commonly used in both residential and commercial environments.
The main product categories in hydronic radiators include panel radiators, column radiators, towel radiators, underfloor heating radiators, baseboard radiators, and custom radiators. Panel radiators feature flat designs with internal water channels that evenly distribute heat through radiation and convection. They come in various materials such as steel, aluminum, and cast iron, and operate using different heating and cooling technologies. These products are sold through online platforms, retail stores, wholesale distributors, and direct sales, catering to a broad range of users in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
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 affected the hydronic radiators market by increasing costs of imported steel, aluminum, and cast iron components. The impact is notable in Europe and North America where radiator manufacturing relies on metal imports. These costs influence product pricing. At the same time, tariffs support domestic radiator manufacturing and regional supply chains.
The hydronic radiators market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides hydronic radiators market statistics, including hydronic radiators industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a hydronic radiators market share, detailed hydronic radiators market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the hydronic radiators industry. This hydronic radiators market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The hydronic radiators market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.54 billion in 2025 to $5.91 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to cold climate housing demand, expansion of residential construction, energy cost considerations, replacement of traditional heating systems, growth in commercial buildings.
The hydronic radiators market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.56 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to net zero building initiatives, adoption of smart home heating, demand for low emission heating systems, urban residential expansion, renovation of aging infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for energy efficient heating, adoption of smart heating controls, expansion of underfloor heating systems, shift toward modern radiator designs, rising use in green buildings.
The growth of the hydronic radiators market is expected to be driven by the rising construction and renovation activities. These activities involve building new structures or upgrading, repairing, and modifying existing ones to improve their functionality, appearance, or compliance with updated standards. Urbanization and population growth are fueling the increase in construction and renovation, as more people move into cities, creating greater demand for housing, transportation, and public infrastructure. Hydronic radiators contribute to these projects by offering energy-efficient and customizable heating solutions that integrate well with modern building systems, providing comfort and sustainability for both residential and commercial buildings. For example, in February 2024, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, reported that construction production in the eurozone increased by 1.9% and by 2.4% in the broader European Union from December 2022 to December 2023. Thus, the rise in construction and renovation activities is supporting the growth of the hydronic radiator market.
Major companies operating in the hydronic radiators market are focusing on adopting sustainability initiatives such as low-carbon steel manufacturing to improve environmental efficiency and reduce embodied emissions. Low-carbon steel manufacturing involves producing steel using cleaner energy sources and recycled materials to significantly lower the carbon footprint during production, supporting greener construction options and reduced lifecycle emissions. For example, in December 2023, Stelrad Group plc, a UK-based manufacturing company, introduced its Green Series radiator range, a low-carbon steel product line designed to reduce embodied CO2 emissions while delivering standard hydronic heating performance. The Green Series features up to 90 percent lower-carbon steel, full recyclability, and plastic-free packaging. This range enhances sustainability by enabling climate-friendly radiator installations and helping customers and builders minimize environmental impact.
In October 2024, Purmo Group, a Finland-based company specializing in sustainable indoor climate solutions, acquired UniTherm Heating Systems Ltd., an Ireland-based company offering hydronic radiators, for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to strengthen Purmo Group's portfolio by incorporating UniTherm's expertise in pre-plumbed underfloor heating manifolds, piping systems, and renewable energy-based heating technologies.
