Market
Target Market
We focus on the Stockholm/Mälardalen region. Swedish market for heat pumps is estimated at 6.5 billion.

Nearly 60% of energy consumption for housing is used for heating and hot water where geothermal energy is clearly the best option. The market value is approximately 1,8 billion EUR.
Our goal each year is to move the corresponding 25-50 estate customers from district heating to geothermal heating which gives a yearly turnover of about 2.5 to 10 million per year in new installations.

The market is relatively fragmented with many smaller players. The profile of the competitors typically represents a smaller plumber that has grown a little larger, up to 5-20 people. Several competitors have few or no employees, which of course is a big risk for customers. These companies do not usually conduct any active coordinated marketing effort.
