KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Hampered the Market Demand Due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with oil-filled radiators market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The pandemic disrupted global supply chains, affecting the production and distribution of various goods, including oil-filled radiators. Factory closures, transportation restrictions, and shortages of raw materials could have led to delays in manufacturing and delivery of these heating appliances. With more people working and staying at home due to lockdowns and remote work arrangements, there may have been an increased demand for heating appliances like oil filled radiators. People sought ways to stay warm and comfortable in their homes during colder seasons, potentially driving sales. Economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic, including job losses and reduced income for many households, may have led some consumers to postpone or cut back on discretionary spending, including the purchase of heating appliances. This could have had a negative impact on sales in certain regions.

LATEST TRENDS

Smart Technology Integration to Fuel Market Growth

Smart home technology was becoming more prevalent in heating appliances, including oil-filled radiators. These smart radiators could be controlled remotely through smartphone apps, allowing users to adjust temperature settings and schedules from anywhere, improving convenience and energy savings. Increasing environmental concerns were leading to a demand for more eco-friendly heating solutions. Manufacturers were working on reducing the environmental impact of oil filled radiators by using recycled materials, improving energy efficiency, and complying with eco-friendly standards and certifications. Safety was a paramount concern for consumers. Manufacturers were integrating safety features like tip-over switches and overheating protection to ensure that oil filled radiators could be used safely in homes and offices. Consumers were looking for oil filled radiators that were not only efficient but also space-saving and easy to move around. Compact and portable designs were gaining popularity, making it easier to place radiators in various rooms.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), oil-filled radiators have seen a 22% increase in household usage between 2020 and 2024, largely driven by the need for energy-efficient heating systems that reduce electricity consumption by up to 35% compared to traditional convection heaters.

• The European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) reported that over 8 million oil-filled radiator units were installed across European homes in 2024, reflecting a 19% rise in adoption following the implementation of stricter energy-efficiency labeling requirements.

DRIVING FACTORS

Energy Efficiency Regulations to Drive Market Growth

Government regulations aimed at promoting energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions can drive demand for energy-efficient heating solutions like oil-filled radiators. Manufacturers may need to innovate and produce models that meet or exceed energy efficiency standards. The desire for comfortable indoor heating solutions during cold seasons remains a primary driver of oil-filled radiators market growth. Oil filled radiators are known for their ability to provide even and consistent heat, making them a popular choice among consumers.

Health and Safety Concerns to Accelerate Market Demand

Safety features such as tip-over protection and overheat protection can be significant selling points, particularly for families with children or pets. Heightened safety concerns can boost the market. Access to electricity and the reliability of electrical grids can influence the choice of heating solutions. Regions with limited access to natural gas or heating oil may rely more on electric heating options like oil-filled radiators. Harsh winters and cold weather patterns in certain regions can stimulate demand for oil filled radiator as consumers seek reliable heating solutions.

• According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global residential energy consumption for heating accounts for nearly 45% of total household electricity use, prompting the shift to oil-filled radiators that maintain consistent heat output while lowering operational costs by 20–30% per year.

• The UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) highlighted that government-led home insulation and energy-saving programs supported the replacement of over 1.6 million outdated heating devices with oil-filled models by 2024, enhancing heating performance efficiency by 27%.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Competition from Other Heating Technologies to Restrict Market Growth

Oil-filled radiators face competition from various other heating technologies, including electric heaters, gas heaters, and heat pumps. The availability and affordability of these alternative heating options can impact the demand for oil filled radiator. The demand for oil radiators is often seasonal, with higher sales during the colder months. This seasonality can create challenges for manufacturers in terms of production planning and inventory management.

• According to the European Environmental Agency (EEA), oil-filled heaters consume 10–15% more power in poorly insulated environments, which limits their effectiveness in older residential structures — a key challenge in markets such as Eastern Europe where over 40% of housing stock is pre-1980 construction.

• As per the Japan Electrical Manufacturers’ Association (JEMA), the high initial cost of quality-grade oil-filled radiators—averaging ¥25,000 to ¥40,000 per unit—has slowed adoption among middle-income households, particularly in urban rental sectors where temporary heating is preferred.
