The hydronic underfloor heating system was initially used by Romans to heat their personal spaces. After the World War II, the industry observed swift developments in technology and product design. This heating arrangement can be described as the application of electrical systems or water systems to the floor in order to produce heat under the flooring. The electrical systems apply electrical cables in order to generate the heat, whereas water systems use the length of a pipe in order to pump water via a heat source to heat the floor.

The on-going rollouts for efficient & improved space heating services across smart cities together with increasing number of green building projects will fuel the product demand. Moreover, the growing commercial & residential sector along with rapid industrialization will further drive the market trends.

Underfloor heating is considered to be ideal for new builds and also becoming more popular for renovations because of new product innovations in this area. The growth of the trend toward contemporary design has motivated consumers to generate a clean and uncluttered look throughout their homes. Besides, the high growth of the residential market can be attributed to the rising awareness about the advantages of underfloor heating systems used in housing properties. The huge growth rate of market for the residential application is mainly because of the growth of refurbishment activity in many developed nations.

Furthermore, the considerable reduction in the upfront price and installation time coupled with the development of ready-to-use heating mats will catalyse the evolution across the residential sector. The electric underfloor heating offers effective heating services for small household applications including kitchens and bathrooms.
