China’s rise as a global leader in air-to-water heat pump technology is no accident. It’s the result of dedicated manufacturing clusters, strong government policies, and relentless innovation. Here are the key regions fueling this boom:
- Guangdong Province – The Powerhouse of Heat Pump Giants
- Home to industry giants like GREE, Midea, and Haier, this province leads in R&D and mass production of high-efficiency heat pumps. In addition, some new heat pump solution providers are also emerging, such as NEWNTIDE, هيتابرو, AMITIME, SUNRAIN and AXEN.
- These companies hold an impressive 34% share of China’s air-source heat pump market.
- Pioneering advancements in inverter technology, IoT integration, and eco-friendly refrigerants.
- Zhejiang & Jiangsu (Yangtze River Delta) – Specialized Innovation Hubs
- This region is home to niche heat pump manufacturers such as PHNIX and Zhongguang Otess, focusing on industrial and ultra-low-temperature models.
- Known for producing high-performance cold-climate heat pumps, ideal for European and North American markets.
- Northern China (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei) – The Clean Heating Pioneer
- With strict clean energy policies, this region has a soaring demand for heat pumps in residential and commercial sectors.
- Fostering innovation in cold-climate air-to-water heat pump systems that can operate efficiently even in sub-zero temperatures.
These clusters are strengthened by robust supply chains, carbon reduction incentives, and strategic integration with renewable energy projects, positioning China at the heart of the global heat pump revolution.
Why 2025 is a Pivotal Year for Air-to-Water Heat Pumps
