The sharpest takeaway from the EPREL-backed comparison is not that Austria, Sweden, and Finland have radically different brand leaders — it’s that the public registry, as provided, does not let you prove that. What it does show is a highly concentrated European catalog underneath those national questions: 60,989 listed heat-pump models from 777 manufacturers, with the top five brands alone taking 51.93% of indexed listings and the top 10 reaching 60.88%. That concentration frames every country comparison, even when the country-level slices are unavailable.
At market level, the brand hierarchy is clear. Daikin Europe N.V. holds 24.05% of listings, ahead of Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. at 9.14% and Johnson Controls Hitachi at 8.54%. Bosch Thermotechnik GmbH and Ariston SpA follow at 5.91% and 4.29% respectively. Efficiency is not uniform across that stack: the market average SCOP is 4.55, while Daikin sits slightly below it at 4.44 and Bosch runs above it at 4.69. That kind of spread is exactly why listing-share analysis needs to be paired with performance fields, not just brand counts.
The technology split is just as skewed. R32 appears on 13,935 listings, while R290 shows up on only 537; natural refrigerants overall account for just 3.27% of the indexed market. Air-to-water units dominate the catalog at 30,452 models, which matters for any reproducible country study because technology mix can easily swamp brand mix.
For the country economics layer, the signal is stronger: Austria’s electricity-to-gas ratio is 2.68, Sweden’s is 1.30, and Finland has no gas value recorded in the corpus. Sweden also pairs a low-carbon grid at 14 g/kWh with a cold climate, while Austria stands out for a €23,000 subsidy ceiling.
