According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global District Heating and Cooling Service market size was valued at US$ 254039 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 371333 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.7% during review period.
District energy, both heating and cooling, tie together the energy generating sources in a city with buildings and facilities having a need of heating and/or cooling. Instead of each building having its own heating or cooling system, the energy is delivered to several buildings in a larger area from a central plant. The water based distribution system guarantees that heat and cooling arrive safely to the end users. With district heating, energy is saved overall, as it takes advantage of resources that would otherwise not be have been used, making it an efficient and sustainable solution to satisfy the local heat and cooling demand in a city.
District heating and cooling services are an efficient way to use energy. They provide heating and cooling to multiple buildings in a region through centralized heating or cooling.
The main players in the global district heating and cooling market include ENGIE, NRG Energy, Fortum, Empower, ADC Energy Systems, STEAG, Ørsted A/S, etc.
These companies occupy an important position in the technological innovation and market expansion of district heating and cooling. The top seven manufacturers in the world have a total market share of about 14%.
At present, Asia Pacific is the largest market in the world, accounting for about 43% of the market share. Europe and North America are also important market regions. The high attention paid to environmental protection and energy efficiency in these regions has promoted the development of the market.
The earliest district cooling system in Europe appeared in Paris in 1960, and is currently widely used in France, Germany and Switzerland. Norway, Sweden and Denmark generally use seawater, lake water, groundwater, industrial wastewater and urban sewage as heat sources and heat sinks for heat pumps. As the world's largest developing country, China's urban heating and cooling market is also expanding. The government has introduced a series of policies to promote the industry to develop in a green and low-carbon direction.
