Industrial ash, typically generated from the combustion of coal, or biomass contains chemicals that are hazardous for humans, and if it is released in water bodies, it can destroy entire ecosystems. Thus, governments of various countries have introduced policies that regulate the disposal of ash; thereby, driving growth of ash handling system market. In addition to this, ash is reused to produce bricks, and is also used in concrete. Furthermore, owing to rising industrialization driven by rising purchasing power of masses, and increasing population governments in developing countries are building coal-fired power plants; however, the growth rate of coal-fired power plants is declining. In addition to this, countries in Asia-Pacific hold a large market share of the ash handling system market, owing to presence of small-, medium-, and large-scale steel and cement manufacturing industries, as well as the presence of coal fired power plants.
The ash handling system market is segmented on the basis of ash type, system type, end-user industry, and region. By ash type, it is bifurcated into fly ash and bottom ash. By system type, the market is classified into hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical. By end-user industry, it is classified into power plants, cement manufacturing, steel plants, and others. By region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Executive Summary
According to the report titled, 'Ash Handling System Market,' the ash handling system market was valued at $3.4 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $4.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2022 to 2031. Ash handling systems are utilized to collect and transfer ash in a facility such as steel manufacturing, cement manufacturing, coal-fired power plants, and others such as incineration plants. An ash handling system mainly uses three mediums to transfer ash within a facility, which are water, air stream, and mechanical machines.Key factors driving the growth of the ash handling systems market include by stringent regulations by the government, a rise in the number of thermal power plants in few countries, and growing demand for steel by automotive, construction, and other industries. The combustion of coal and other organic products leads to greenhouse gas emission, along with the generation of other harmful byproducts of combustion which largely includes ash. Coal ash, which is a major contributor to the total ash produced in a year is a very toxic substance. The chemicals coal ash constitutes include lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, mercury, silica, and other causes of mental and physical diseases and disorders in humans. According to the American Coal Ash Association 2022 Production and Use Survey, coal-fired power plants produced 77.3 million tons of coal combustion products (CCP), up from 69.1 million tons in 2020. Therefore, governments across the globe require ash-producing industries such as thermal power plants, incinerators, and others to properly handle the ash to safeguard the health of workers working in and people living near the site. For instance, in 2018, the U.S., EPA revised the Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals from Electric Utilities final rule, which was first implemented in 2015. This rule finalized national regulations to provide a comprehensive set of requirements for the safe disposal of coal ash from coal-fired power plants. Similar regulations guide ash handling in countries across the world, which drive demand for ash handling systems.
Construction industry is a major user of coal ash such as fly ash, and bottom ash. Fly ash, and bottom ash are extensively used to mix in the concrete, which technically makes it better and reduces the amount of cement used in that concrete. The increase in global population and urbanization is increasing the rate of construction of residential and non-residential buildings along with the construction of various infrastructure projects. For instance, major countries such as UAE, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Brazil, Denmark, Sweden, Jordan, Israel, Qatar, and others have witnessed more than 85% of urbanization. This has led to the overpopulation of the major cities of the world. Thus, the upgradation and development of infrastructure have become a necessity for most cities in the world. For instance, Indonesia is building a new planned capital city known as Nusantara. Its construction started in July 2022 and is expected to be inaugurated in August 2024. Furthermore, in November 2022, in India, Reliance Industries Ltd., announced its plans to build a greenfield smart city near Gurugram. Thus, an increase in construction activities that utilize coal ash is driving the demand for ash handling systems.
