BSRIA has released its latest analysis on Europe's HVAC field devices market, reporting growth driven by regulatory pressures, digitalisation and the drive for better building performance.
Despite weak construction fundamentals, the market across France, Germany, Italy and the UK reached EUR 785 million in 2025, with a clear distribution across product categories: valves/valve actuators (43%), dampers/damper actuators (33%) and sensors (24%). Germany has the largest market, followed by France, Italy, and the UK.
Lisa Wiltshire, business manager, market intelligence, at BSRIA, said: "The field devices market is proving remarkably resilient, increasingly shaped by regulatory pressures, digitalisation and the drive for better building performance. We're forecasting steady, market expansion to 2030. This growth is being underpinned by a fundamental retooling of building operations. The built environment is moving decisively towards smarter, interconnected systems that deliver sustainability, resilience and allow for more informed decision making. Operators have a growing need for continuous monitoring, cloud-ready connectivity and real-time performance analytics."
Jeremy Towler, BSRIA senior market intelligence consultant, adds: "We all know, you can't manage what you can't measure, or control. That’s why buildings need a greater density of field devices, to know how your building is performing and to automate corrective action where necessary.”
