As per a recent industry report put forward by Global Market Insights Inc., the thermal energy storage market is forecast to register its name in the billion-dollar fraternity down the line of six years, by exceeding a revenue of $55 billion by 2024, with a projected compound annual growth rate of 18.5 percent over 2018-2024.
Going forward, the most significant driver of unit sales of smart and connected thermostats will be the rapidly declining prices, which will support multiple-unit consumer adoption. Ramped up efforts by utility companies, homebuilders, and HVAC contractors to promote these products based on their cost- and energy-saving benefits will also underlie growth.
Nonresidential specialty trade contractors filled 12,400 positions in January, residential specialty contractors filled another 13,900 jobs, and unemployment rate held steady at 4.1 percent.
