Asia Pacific is expected to have the largest global market share due to the region's strong presence in various end-use industries. The World Steel Association estimates that China alone produces about 50% of the world's steel, with Asia Pacific accounting for more than 70% of that total. The dominance of Asia Pacific in the global rotary kiln market is largely due to this factor, which is also the most important one. Leaders in the region are further fueled by the region's significant non-ferrous metal and cement industries. Co-current rotary kilns are now more popular in Asia-Pacific owing to reduced capital costs and rapidly increasing industrial manufacturing plants.
In 2021, the United States dominated the North American rotary kiln market. In the United States, 19% of all scrap tires are burned in cement kilns. These are also very polluting, and neighborhood organizations have already been fighting them. Coal is commonly used to power cement kilns. The use of alternative sources of energy in cement kilns reduces CO2 emissions throughout the manufacturing process. In exchange for its calorific value, the waste is fed into the cement kiln and substituted for a specific amount of coal. A large percentage of cement and lime producers in the United States are increasing their current capacity of production to meet the increasing demand for cement & steel in construction projects.
The rotary kiln sector is highly fragmented, and the major suppliers are using growth strategies to compete, such as spending money on R&D, capacity expansion, and launching new products. For instance, Tate Inc., the leading company in raised floor production, announced the introduction of Cavity Floors in November 2021. The cavity floor is a raised floor system made for particular uses that only occasionally or never require access to the subfloor. Likewise, UltraTech Cement Limited declared the commissioning of a 1.2 MTPA cement capacity in October 2021. Installing new cement plants will accelerate rotary kiln market expansion in the upcoming years.
The global market for rotary kilns is dominated by chemical waste applications, which can only be destroyed at high temperatures (over 1,000 °C) using incineration technology. The adoption of incineration technology is encouraged by strict emission and waste disposal rules. The proliferation of new technologies is assisting in improving efficiency and lowering incinerators' impact on the environment. For instance, Metso Oyj offers ecologically friendly solutions and services to the metallurgy, minerals, chemical, recycling, and processing industries.
The rotary kiln market is fragmented, and vendors are using growth tactics to compete in the international market, including investments in R&D. New incineration capacity is being invested due to the rising demand for renewable energy sources.These rotary kiln units are widely used in the mineral, mineral processing, cement, carbohydrates, and food industries, as well as in the silicon oxide, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries as incinerators and pyrolysis units.
Some major players in the rotary kiln market are Ansac Pty Ltd., Steinmuller Babcock Environment GmbH, FEECO International Inc., and CITIC Heavy Industries Co. Ltd.
The market has expanded due to the widespread use of rotary kilns in many industrial branches for the thermal treatment of residual waste of different origins, particularly hazardous waste. Developing and installing new cement facilities is a major driver for the global rotary kiln industry. Most cement and lime production companies are increasing their current production capacity to meet the growing demands for cement and steel in the construction industry. Such developments and installations of new lime, cement, and steel manufacturing units are anticipated to propel rotary kiln market growth throughout the forecast period.
Volatile raw material prices influence the fabrication of rotary kilns. Any volatility in raw material prices, like steel, a key material in constructing rotary kilns, directly impacts production costs. As a result, volatile raw material prices constrain manufacturers, impeding the expansion of the global rotary kiln market.
The cement kiln type segment will have a significant revenue share of the global rotary kiln market over the projection period. Cement kilns are utilized in the pyro-processing step of manufacturing Portland and other types of hydraulic cement, where magnesium carbonate reacts with silica-bearing materials to produce calcium silicates. It also helps to reinforce buildings built in earthquake-prone areas. Cement manufacturing technology has prioritized increasing the kiln's efficiency as it consumes most of the process’s energy and produces the most greenhouse gases. The need is expected to create significant opportunities for Chinese and European manufacturers to focus on their products in the coming years. Cement field funding is increasing, competition is escalating, new products are being offered, and existing technology is being updated and renovated, which is driving the growth of the cement kiln industry.
In 2021, the Asia Pacific region will dominate the global market for rotary kilns in terms of revenue. This is due to accelerating urbanization and growing industrialization, which have increased waste production and consumption. Several developing countries, including Vietnam, China, Indonesia, India, Japan, and Thailand, are also in the region. These countries are experiencing rapid economic growth due to various factors, including low labor costs and easy access to raw materials and industrial facilities.
Furthermore, Europe is expected to hold the largest revenue share in the global rotary kiln market throughout the forecast period due to stringent environmental regulations and growing efforts by regional governments to reduce the carbon footprint associated with solid management practices across their territories. New incineration facilities are being built in the European region as a result of the rising consumption of energy from renewable sources. Two rotating arms with various rotation speeds make up a counter-current rotary kiln incinerator widely used for waste management in the region.
Medical waste applications are also growing in popularity due to stringent government regulations governing safe disposal in various parts of the world. Blast furnaces consume massive amounts of coal to produce heat, which causes large amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) and other pollutants to be released into the atmosphere. Thus, several strict regulations are being implemented to reduce such emissions. For example, the EPA authorized changes to the Indiana sulfur dioxide state implementation plan (SIP) for the steel mill in Burns Harbor, Indiana, in July 2021. Additionally, ThyssenKrupp AG declared in June 2021 that by 2025 it would replace its four blast furnaces and transition to a system that relies on directly reducing raw materials using hydrogen.
The global rotary kiln market is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR of 3.1% in the upcoming years. The global rotary kiln industry was estimated to be worth USD 658.6 million in 2021 and was expected to be worth USD 790.99 million by 2028.
Rotating kilns are used actively in several sectors to treat residual losses from various sources with heat, mostly to burn off hazardous material. The global rotary kiln business depends on developing and installing new cement facilities. Major cement and lime producers are boosting their present production capacity to fulfill the increased demand for cement and steel in the building sectors. Future growth is anticipated to be fueled by the installation and expansion of these new cement, lime, and steel production facilities during the projection period.
