<p>In December 2020, the Department published analysis of the heat pump manufacturing
supply chain (available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/heat-pump-manufacturing-supply-chain-research-project"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/heat-pump-manufacturing-supply-chain-research-project</a>).
This research indicates that there are currently five companies manufacturing heat
pumps in the UK. In 2019, these manufacturers produced over 10,000 heat pump units
for the domestic market and there are a growing number of exports into Europe. The
majority of these units are air source heat pumps, predominantly manufactured by Mitsubishi,
and a smaller proportion are ground source heat pumps, predominantly manufactured
by Kensa. The research also shows that there are significant opportunities for the
UK supply chain to grow, as we increase deployment of heat pumps over the next decade.</p>
