Dramatic decline in heat pump sales – manufacturers have to cut jobs across Europe. Sales of heat pumps in 14 European countries fell by five percent last year.
Between 2021 and 2022, the association recorded an increase of 37.6 percent. According to the EHPA, 3,000 jobs have already been cut or put on short-time work because the market is not developing as expected. The falling sales figures and the uncertainty among consumers, fueled by right-wing slogans, are already having real consequences.
