Strong Demand from Asia Pacific to Propel Future Growth

Sustained industrial growth in Asian countries like China, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam increases the demand for industrial boilers. The rise in demand for energy-efficient systems is further boosting the market.

Due to escalating demand in various industries, the industrial boiler market will see a strong rise in the coming years. Strong industrialization and increased investments for manufacturing facilities contribute to the growth of the industrial boiler market. Also, initiatives taken by financial institutions and governments will accelerate the development of industrial centres. This will result in further growth for the industrial boiler market.

Biomass-fuelled Industrial Boilers to Dominate

The rising demand for biomass-fuelled boilers is expected to boost the growth of the industrial boiler market. Biomass-fuelled boilers have a substantial share in the industrial boiler market in the US due to the stringent regulations that seek to reduce carbon emissions. Biomass is a better choice than fossil fuels since its combustion releases less carbon to the environment. Hence, the demand for biomass-fuelled boilers is rising across various sectors. The oil and gas sector will experience steady growth during the next decade. This is mainly due to relatively lower oil and gas prices.  

Small Industrial Boilers to Lead Chemical ad Food Applications

Small boilers comprise a substantial percentage of the industrial boiler market when accounted for in terms of capacity. Small boilers will see increased demand during the next decade. These boilers are seeing increased demand since maintaining them is easier. Over the next decade, the escalating demand for small boilers in mining, metals and the food and beverage industry will contribute to market growth.

On the other hand, higher capacity boilers will also experience significant growth in demand due to the increasing production capacity of the petroleum industry. High-capacity steam boilers are used in the petroleum industry since they have several applications like pressure control, dilution, quenching, stripping, fractionation and heating.

Strong Demand from Food Processing to Fuel the Growth

The rapid rise of the food processing industry worldwide will result in an increased demand for industrial boilers. Sustained growth in the food processing sector is due to various factors like a higher standard of living, advanced technology and higher disposable income across the globe. There will be a higher demand for packaged and convenience foods, which means that the food processing industry will have greater demand for industrial boilers. The market for industrial boilers will be further boosted by the increasing product applications of the paper and pulp sector. Boilers have applications in several industries for steam generation like chemicals, textiles, manufacturing, food and beverages, etc.

Environmental Concerns to Remain Major Concern

Some factors will hinder the growth of the industrial boiler market. These include stringent emissions regulations and the high capital investment required. Increasingly stringent regulations on emission especially in Europe and North America can confine the growth of Industrial Boilers.
