Market Trends in Water-based Heating & Cooling Systems by Cooling Type, Implementation, Component, and Vertical
By Cooling Type
The Direct Cooling segment led the water-based heating and cooling systems market with a 57.8% market share in 2023, thanks to its simplicity, lower installation costs, and direct heat exchange, making it ideal for residential and small commercial applications. Its ability to provide quick and effective cooling in confined spaces further strengthens its position.
The Indirect Cooling segment, however, is expected to grow the fastest from 2024 to 2032, owing to better energy efficiency and greater control of indoor air quality. It is widely used across industrial and large commercial sectors with growing environmental targets and environmental legislations.
By Implementation Type
In 2023, the New Construction segment dominated the water-based heating and cooling systems market, capturing 60.7% of the share. This prevalence arises from the inclusion of energy-open HAVC systems in environmentally sustainable residential, commercial, and institutional buildings complying with green building criteria. The convenience to be installed in during construction period also exert a positive impact on the segment growth.
The Retrofit segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2032, due to the global demand to refurbish the exiting old structures especially in developed regions such as North America and Europe. Building owners continue to retrofit with newer, more efficient HVAC systems in order to comply with environmental mandates.
By Component
In 2023, Heat Pumps led the water-based heating and cooling systems market, holding a 24.5% market share. They are popular in residential and commercial uses due to their efficiency and small footprint, especially as low-emission, all-electric alternatives are gaining favor in regions such as Europe and North America. Regulatory backing of clean energy transitions and the fossil free system phase-out also encourage the use of heat pumps.
Chillers are expected to experience the highest CAGR from 2024 to 2032, as the demand increases in the large commercial and industrial buildings space. Their high efficiency, energy conservation and responsiveness to smart controls make them well suited for urban infrastructure and variable climates.
By Vertical
In 2024, the Residential segment led the global water-based heating and cooling systems market with a 47.4% share, due to increasing need for energy efficient temperature controlled systems and rising consumer awareness towards sustainable way of living. Government incentives and stringent green building standards have also driven adoption.
The Commercial segment, however, is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2032, owing to the increasing development of office spaces, retail centers, and healthcare buildings. Increased focus on sustainability and healthier indoor environments, along with smart building technologies, is driving demand in the commercial segment for high-performance water-based systems.

Regional Insights on the Growth of Water-based Heating and Cooling Systems
In 2023, Asia Pacific led the global water-based heating and cooling systems market with a 33.7% share, driven by rapid urbanization, infrastructure growth, and rising demand for energy-efficient climate control in countries like China, India, and Japan. Water-based HVAC systems are integral to sustainable building initiatives and smart city projects backed by regional governments. For example, Japan pioneered energy-efficient hydronic systems, and India's ECBC promotes water-based cooling in new buildings.
North America is poised for the fastest growth from 2024 to 2032, as the U.S. and Canada driving electrification for decarbonization with the Inflation Reduction Act, which supports the use of low-carbon heat pump systems for commercial buildings in cities such as New York and Toronto.
Recent Development:
- Mar 2025, Daikin Applied Americas has purchased a majority ownership of Modular Comfort Systems to elevate energy-efficient and decarbonization HVAC offers. This purchase is consistent with New York City's recent climate and energy use regulations. April 2024, Mitsubishi Electric Europe selects Soracom to provide cellular connectivity for its MELCloud service, which enables cloud-based remote management of HVAC systems, ensuring energy efficiency and performance across Europe.
