The latest industry figures available to us suggest that 37,000 heat pumps were installed in the UK in 2020, of which the Government estimate that around a third were manufactured in the UK, a little over half were made throughout the rest of Europe and the remainder were imported from outside of Europe. Since publication of that data, several companies have also started manufacturing heat pumps or expanded their existing operations in the UK, such as Mitsubishi, Vaillant and Ideal.
