Pre-war heat pumps were in a steady climb and 2022 was a big jump. I'm certain sales will continue to rise and we can look at those two years as a short boost and reaction to extreme gas prices. I wouldn't be surprised if some homeowners replaced their ageing heating a few years early. Market share of heat pumps is still on the rise. Here's more data and a chart from 2013 onwards. https://www.ehpa.org/market-data/ https://www.ehpa.org/market-data/
Honestly I don't know why anyone still let's politicians talk or legislate anything related to energy. They killed the solar industry, keep coal alive, want to revive nuclear when we could already be fully solar/wind/batteries and sow distrust in heat pumps over oil and gas. I don't want to see private companies taking over either, but we saw great results from the german Bürgerrat Klima where 160 discussed everything climate and the results are well ahead of what politicians want to do.
