The India water heater market witnessed a decent growth in recent years on account of the growing consumer demand for water heaters in India underpinned by strong growth of urban population and rising hospitality sector. Water heater market witnessed an upward growth trajectory mainly attributed to rise in demand from urban consumers as they are more inclined towards modern day thermal appliances which are efficient and easy to manage. Further, the spread of covid-19 in 2020 did not have much effect on the sales of water heaters as the lockdown was imposed in the months of summer when the demand for water heater was low. The government started unlocking the country gradually after 4 months of strict lockdown and during the peak season of water heater sales, most of the lockdown restrictions were revoked resulting in no negative impact of the pandemic on sales.

According to 6Wresearch, the India Water Heater Market revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during 2021-27F. Rising disposable income and the cold winters are also the major factors contributing to the growth of the water heater market. The projected growth in India water heater market for the coming years can also be attributed to the growing hospitality sector in the country. The hospitality sector has also provided opportunity growth in the solar water heater segment owing to its low operational cost and energy efficiency.

After the outbreak of coronavirus, companies have shifted their focus towards e-commerce platforms as well which helped them in growing their consumer base in the Tier I and Tier II cities.

By distribution channel, the offline segment occupied the majority of the market share as the consumers have the option of comparing the different brands available at the store physically and choose the right product as per their requirement. However, the growing popularity of e-commerce websites among millennials is likely to drive a significant growth in the online distribution channel segment over the coming years.
