French Heat Pump Market in COVID-19 Context

The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected the French heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) sector in 2020. The building sector was particularly affected, with a 6.9% decrease in construction projects and a 14.9% drop in the number of building permits granted. However, the renovation segment was less affected. The pandemic has raised awareness of the need to ensure optimal indoor air quality (IAQ).
