"4.2.5. Others
Autres
In the 1993-1996 market review of the IEA Heat Pump Centre
(Breembroek, 1997), there were only 0.6 million units listed for
regions other than the four mentioned above (0.5 million for Canada,
and less than 0.1 million for South Korea). So the total of
Japan 57.6 million
China 11.4
USA 11.1
Europe 4.3
Others 0.6
85.0 million
was obtained for 1996/beginning of 1997. But there are other markets
(Dinghuan, 1999) such as
- Hong Kong,
- South East Asia (Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore,
Philippines),
- India,
- Australia/New Zealand
with RAC/PAC annual scales of about 3 million units per year, from
which a total number of installed units of about 25 million may be
estimated. However, these are mainly cooling-only units and not heat
pumps, except the ones in Australia/New Zealand (in total perhaps 3
million units). Adding another estimated 7 million units for South
America, Mexico, South Africa, Middle East and the remaining
countries, the global number for 1996/97 may be 95 million rather than
the above 85 million units for 1997.
The world total number of the RAC and PAC market (cooling only as well
as reversible) is estimated to be of the order of 33 million units
sold per year (Nishimura, 1999). The split-up of the above 85 million
units quoted by the IEA HPC for 1997 is 75 million residential, almost
10 million commercial and about 20,000 industrial units."
