Pike Research’s Analysis

Pike Research’s analysis highlights growth potential for several key residential energy efficiency categories in the United States:

  • The home energy auditing business is a strong indicator of the coming of age for energy efficient homes. Pike Research forecasts that this market will nearly triple in size, from $8.1 billion in 2009 to $23.4 billion by 2014.
  • The energy efficient home improvement market is forecast to increase from $38.3 billion in 2009 to $50.2 billion by 2014. This category includes upgraded electrical systems, appliances and major equipment, HVAC systems, roofing replacements, and window/door replacements.
  • Energy Star certified refrigerators and clothes washers will generate revenues of $21.9 billion during the period from 2009 to 2014, under a business-as-usual scenario. In a scenario that includes increased penetration of these high-efficiency appliances, Pike Research estimates that another $11.3 billion could be added to this total.
