France Solar Water Heater market currently, in 2023, has witnessed an HHI of 1979, Which has decreased substantially as compared to the HHI of 10000 in 2017. The market is moving towards moderately competitive. Herfindahl index measures the competitiveness of exporting countries. The range lies from 0 to 10000, where a lower index number represents a larger number of players or exporting countries in the market while a large index number means fewer numbers of players or countries exporting in the market.
France is a leading market for solar water heaters. The country has seen steady growth in the sale of solar thermal products over the past few years. In 2019, France had installed more than 2.5 million m2 of collector area and nearly 1 million residential installations were in operation. France currently accounts for around 3% of all Europe?s total solar thermal capacity and represents around 20-25 % of the European market share in terms of sales volume.
The main drivers behind this impressive uptake are widespread public awareness campaigns combined with government subsidies that have been available since 2006. This has enabled homeowners to benefit from renewable energy sources while reducing their electricity bills significantly as well as allowing them to take advantage of tax incentives on both installation costs and monthly electricity consumption from photovoltaic systems or other forms of renewables like wind power or biomass heating systems. Moreover, several French cities offer free installation services for those interested in installing a solar thermal system at home or work place premises which further helps reduce costs associated with these projects substantially helping owners save money on upfront expenses as well as long term maintenance fees related to such activities later on down the line.
