Strong sectoral demand, tech-driven rentals, and regional climate needs fuel growth.
SAN ANTONIO, TX, June 10, 2025 — The North American Temporary Heating Market is on a solid growth trajectory, supported by surging demand across construction, oil & gas, and industrial sectors. According to a new study by Verify Markets, the industry reached $945.0 million in revenue in 2024 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 5.0 percent through 2031.
Construction remains the largest end user, driven by cold-season project schedules, concrete curing, and finishing work. Oil & gas operations follow closely, relying on high-BTU flameless and indirect-fired units to meet safety and runtime demands in hazardous and remote locations. The industrial segment also shows strong demand, particularly for large-scale, process-oriented applications that require sustained heating.
Indirect-fired heaters lead the market, delivering clean, enclosed-space heat for commercial sites and occupied spaces. Meanwhile, hydronic and electric heaters are seeing increased adoption in data center commissioning, infrastructure testing, and indoor operations. Heat pumps are emerging in regions with milder climates, offering low-emission alternatives, though their cold-weather limitations remain a hurdle.
The North American Temporary Heating Market is evolving with the integration of telematics, smart systems, and re-rental partnerships, while simultaneously shifting toward larger, high-output units and cleaner technologies. Emerging trends such as the rise of heat pumps, the replacement of hydronic heaters with indirect-fired and direct-fired heaters in construction and industrial space heating, increasing traction for electric units, and growing demand for high-efficiency systems reflect a broader industry transition toward cost-effective, environmentally aligned solutions.
However, the industry also faces challenges, including declining equipment quality due to poor assembly and supply chain variability. Workforce shortages and seasonal demand fluctuations further complicate consistent service delivery.
Leading players in the market include United Rentals, Sunbelt Rentals, Herc Rentals, Aggreko, and the CAT Dealership Network. Additional participants comprise Resolute Industrial, Certek Heat Solutions, Axis Portable Air, REIC, and Cooper Equipment Rentals, among others. These regional and specialized providers are increasing competitive pressure on national chains through localized services and niche offerings.
